This Concerto for Euphonium casts the euphonium soloist as one of the young soldiers in a World War I battalion for an intensely intimate and visceral experience of events. However the music also portrays a more general human journey, and will appeal on a number of levels.
There are three movements which have the following subtitles:
- Summer 1916 – Days of Youth
- Winter 1916 – The Weight of Maturity
- 4th February 1917 – Release
Although challenging, the solo part is designed to be achievable by all ambitious euphonium soloists.
Duration: 19.00
