Anglo Music Press Euphonium Concerto No. 2 (Grade 5 - Score and Parts) Concert Band Level 5 Composed by Philip Sparke

Arrangement for euphonium and piano also available (HL44005588). The opening movement contains much syncopation and is almost rag-like in style. The slower second movement explores the unsurpassable ability of the euphonium to play lyrically, with a theme that is later taken up by the band while the soloist weaves a filigree descant. This leads straight into the third movement, which is almost bebop in style and shows off the jazzier capabilities of the euphonium. The concerto was composed for the virtuoso soloist, Steven Mead. A version for euphonium and piano is also available.
