EUPHONIUM CONCERTO No.1 (Sparke) (Brass Band - Score only) - Sparke, Philip

This concerto has its origins in a concerto for horn and brass band, commissioned by the River City Brass Band (Pittsburgh) in 1992.It was composed at the request of British euphonium virtuoso, Steven Mead, and first performed by him with the Breeze Brass Band in Osaka, Japan, in 1995.In conventional three-movement form, performed without a break, the concerto covers the panoply of the euphonium's range and character. The first movement is marked Moderato e energico and is rhythmically energetic in style with many meter changes and much syncopation. Only in the central section does the soloist relax in cantabile mood.The second movement opens with tuned percussion taking centre stage, laying for the foundations for a long cantilena from the soloist in resigned mood, but with a touch of optimism. After a central climax for the band, this melody returns, with soloists from the band answering in counterpoint. The finale is a 6/8 romp in caccia style (betraying its origins as a piece for horn). Again, the central section is more legato in mood, though the band keeps the eighth-note figures present throughout. The movement ends in a bravura display from the soloist.

Euphonium Fantasia (Euphonium Solo with Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Bulla, Stephen

This challenging composition by Stephen Bulla, based on 17th century chorale 'Westminster Abbey' by Henry Purcell, puts high demands on both soloist and accompanying band.Duration: 7:45

Euphonium Fiesta (Euphonium Solo with Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Moren, Bertrand

A wonderful work for euphonium, Euphonium Fiesta consists of three separate movements played without a break. The first and third movements explore the technical and rhythmical possibilities of the soloist whilst, in the middle movement, the soloist has a wonderful lyrical melody fully utilising the full range of the instrument. This phenomenal work is sure to become a popular soloist showcase for many years to come.Duration: 9:30

Euphony (Euphonium Solo with Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Redhead, Robert

Previously only available in manuscript form, this euphonium solo with brass band accompaniment is now available in printed format. Euphony (meaning a pleasant, sweet sound) is based on the tunes of Sidney Cox with material taken from the songs; 'He found me', 'This one thing I know', 'You can tell out the sweet story' and 'Deep and wide'. At the time of writing, the composer remarked; 'The euphonium is often associated with melodies and harmonies that lend themselves to pleasing sounds'. That is true of this solo but it also presents considerable technical challenges for the soloist in terms of range and technique.

European Overture (Brass Band - Score and Parts) - Moren, Bertrand

With its unique structure, European Overture brings out the vast potential of the concert band. The work opens with a magnificent fanfare followed by a lively allegro section. The lento of the middle section gracefully meanders bringing several soloists into the spotlight. Following another pulsating allegro section the work comes to a close with a final restatement of the central melody. A fantastic opener for any concert.Duration: 5:15
