Full brass band set - Euphonium Concerto - Karl Jenkins |
|
|
In stockThis highly popular concerto has already become a favourite of many euphonium players, and now here it is in the full version with brass band.
This work was commissioned by David Childs who gave the first performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra at the Last Night of the Welsh Proms in 2009. 25 minutes in duration, the concerto is in four movements rather than three, loosely following the 'head-heart-feet-whole body' format of (humanist) symphonic design. Jenkins has stated, 'As is my wont, I've endeavoured to make the concerto somewhat quirky and "off the wall".'
It is a work overridingly designed to connect with the listener, arguably Jenkins' greatest gift and a task it achieves with considerable aplomb. The individual movements also stand alone equally well when presented as individual solo items.
This version, with brass band accompaniment, is a fantastic addition to the repertoire for any serious 21st century euphonium player!
