Gillingham - Concerto for Euphonium (WIND BAND)
Gillingham - Concerto for Euphonium (WIND BAND)
Scored in three movements, Concerto for Euphonium & Wind Ensemble is a must for the serious euphonium player. The free flowing first movement pairs rubato style solo playing with strict rhythms in the ensemble while the sonorous second movement glistens with flowing melodies and Gillingham's signature mallet percussion and piano parts. The final Festival movement revisits many of the earlier themes with the flair of a festival performance.
