About the Piece
Published in 1902—the same year as the legendary The Entertainer—Cleopha is one of Scott Joplin’s most spirited and infectious marches. Subtitled "March and Two-Step," it was a staple for Sousa-style brass bands of the era. While it possesses all the rhythmic "snap" of a classic rag, Cleopha carries a regal, orchestral character that makes it uniquely suited for a larger-than-life instrumental treatment.
The Transcription
In this edition, renowned organist and composer Sandro Carnelos reimagines Joplin’s masterpiece for the Symphonic Organ. Rather than a simple note-for-note port of the piano score, Carnelos leverages the vast tonal palette of the organ to bring out the hidden "orchestral" layers of the piece.
By utilizing the symphonic organ’s varied colors—from brilliant reeds to playful flutes—this transcription transforms the work into a grand concert showpiece. It bridges the gap between the dusty dance halls of Missouri and the majestic acoustics of the great cathedrals and concert halls.
Why Choose This Version?
Fresh Repertoire: Add a touch of American Ragtime flair to your recital programs with a piece that is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
Expertly Crafted: Sandro Carnelos brings his deep understanding of organ registration and technique to ensure the piece is both idiomatic for the instrument and faithful to Joplin's original swing.
Versatility: Perfect as a high-energy encore, a wedding recessional with a twist, or a vibrant addition to a "Pops" organ concert.
Key Features: Syncopated rhythms, pedal work that mimics a brass band tuba, and dynamic registration changes that showcase the full range of a symphonic instrument.
"Cleopha is not just a rag; it is a celebration of rhythm. This transcription gives it the scale and majesty it has always deserved.".
