Curnow - Fantasia di Falcone

Difficulty:  IV-V

NOTE: THIS TITLE IS ON BACKORDER FROM THE PUBLISHER AS OF JAN 3.  WE HOPE TO HAVE IT SOON!!

The title makes an obvious reference to Mr. Curnow's teacher, mentor and renowned baritone horn teacher/soloist Leonard. This is a four-movement suite of fantasy variations, based on a theme from one of Falcone's favorite band transcriptions: Andrea Chanier (Opera Excerpts) by Umberto Giordano. This theme is only referenced (not quoted) in the opening cadenza of Movement #1, then developed throughout the overall construction of all four movements.

Composed for the Falcone International Euphonium and Tuba Competition
