As the librarian for our community band, I assumed that both the Baritone BC and Baritone TC are in the same key. We're going to play Seussa's Sabre and Spurs next semester and we're playing the Brion/Schissel arrangement. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a Baritone TC part, only the BC, which none of our baritone players can read as they're all ex-trumpet players. I did, however, find the Baritone TC part on imslp, but it's in a different key than the Baritone BC part. I assumed it would need to be transposed. How wrong I was! Now I'm wondering WHY the BC and TC Baritones are in two different keys! This makes no sense to me. Can any of you music folks explain this to me? I've read the Wikipedia article about baritones, but I must confess that it doesn't fully answer my question. THANK YOU!
