Something of a classic in its brass band and piano versions! We are delighted, at last, to make this work available with concert band accompaniment by the composer. An orchestral version is available on hire. Written in 1978, the work is constructed in three movements and is virtually a concerto for euphonium and band. The first movement begins with an unaccompanied motto theme, which uses all twelve notes of the scale but with a tonal feel. The slow second movement is based on an original song melody by the composer – ‘The Eyes of God’ – and affords lyrical and richly expressive playing that is typically euphonium. Movement three follows without a break – a capricious movement which ends triumphantly. Now available in versions for piano, brass band, concert band, and orchestra, Euphonium Music can be seen as a major contribution to the literature for the instrument.
