According to the composer, this romantic piece is telling a story about “two lovers who coincidentally met, fell in love and watched the moon under the moonlight.” This piece consists of four sections without break. The music begins with a lovely main theme played by the soloist. This first section, marked Adagio, is in the style of the blues. It is followed by a fast section and a tango style third section. After a brief cadenza, the main theme comes back in a dance tempo. In this final section, the clarinet section will play the counter melody when the soloist presents the main melody. After that, trumpets and saxophones players will play the main tune while the counter melody will be played by the soloist. This represents the two lovers dancing happily under the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp helvetica=\"\" open=\"\" style=\"margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: \" font-size:=\"\"\u003eThis piece was premiered by the Euphonium player, Tzu-Hsiang Lin, and Taipei Symphonic Band in January 14\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em;\"\u003eth\u003c\/span\u003e 2018, under the direction of  Dr. Po-Yuan Ku. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp helvetica=\"\" open=\"\" style=\"margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: \" font-size:=\"\"\u003eThis music has been selected as 2018 Taiwan Tuba Euphonium Competition Set Piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Cimarron Music Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43232899072234,"sku":"L105","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2137\/7770\/products\/cm4003cover_1_2.png?v=1657998287"},{"product_id":"day-kevin-25-advanced-etudes-for-euphonium-bass-clef","title":"Day, Kevin - 25 Advanced Etudes for Euphonium (Bass Clef)","description":"\u003cp\u003e25 new etudes for euphonium by composer Kevin Day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available for tuba!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Murphy Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453666902313,"sku":"MB D100","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2137\/7770\/files\/DayEtudes-euphoniumbookcover.jpg?v=1704894504"},{"product_id":"john-lynn-blake-proverbs","title":"John, Lynn Blake - Proverbs","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten for Unaccompanied Euphonium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI.

This piece was inspired by an exciting and rewarding journey through Yosemite National Park to reach the Glacier Point overlook before sundown. Driving up the steep mountain roads felt like a race against time, with the sunset already in progress. Along the way, we experienced jaw-dropping vistas over the edge of rocky cliffs; the colours in the sky shifted from vibrant blue and orange to hazy pink and purple. We drove through extensive areas of forest damaged by recent wildfires– a visceral reminder of the impacts of our changing climate and the need for balance in nature. When we arrived at the lookout, we were rewarded with a magnificent and exhilarating view of Half Dome and Yosemite Valley set against a glowing sky (as shown on the cover of this score!) It was perfect timing to witness the last moments of sunset before the sky faded calmly into dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGolden Hour\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ewas first written for horn and piano before being transcribed for a variety of other solo instruments.
