I thought Steven Mead was the best Euphonium player I ever heard. I have changed my mind. I don't think I have ever heard anyone play the Euphonium this high with such beautiful tone and timbre. Great job Demondrae Thurman. You make that Miraphone 5050 sing!
This man is hitting a super F and making it sound like a warm up
I really hope for this piece to become standard repertoire for the Euphonium
Thanks everyone! The score will be available by mid December! We are working on a few edits.
I want to become even better at playing the euphonium/baritone just so I can play this amazing solo
Pretty breathtaking how the euphonium blends into the rest of the ensemble at points. The drop aways of the ensemble which showcase the soloist at particularly technical parts are done just right. It'd be great if this piece becomes part of standard literature. It's a fantastic modern approach to the instrument, and to the ensemble that accompanies it in general. Composers are learning how fantastic the euphonium sounds, and epic pieces like this are coming into being. It's long overdue, and a great time to be alive to hear them.
There are many excellent euphonium players from many countries but I don't think I have heard one better than this. Not only was the playing superb but the solo was as challenging i have seen so far .Thankyou so much for sharing your God given talent with us all. The mystery is that this is my first awareness I have had of this amazing talent.
i am some years late but my god is this piece breathtaking, i could picture every movement like it was a movie. i love the euphonium greatly and this was a great way to showcase it and the instruments beauty.
This solo almost makes me want to ditch the trumpet and play euphonium
He has chops of steel, man.
Beautiful!
This haunts me and I've been back to it several times. Inspired.
That bass clef lick at around
2021 Checking in for another listen. This performance really stood the test of time.
VERY cool piece! I don't know the last time a piece for euphonium has gotten stuck in my head after a single listen. It's a real shame that my lips would never forgive me if I played this high for this long. :P
As a Euphist, I definitely appreciate this!!! This will be my 2017 goal. To master this!!! Thank you, Mr. Barfield for composing this Concerto for this wonderful instrument!!
I heard this at the US Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Conference this year. It's definitely my new favorite Euphonium piece, and Demondrae Thurman plays the heck out of it (as did Pershing's Own!) I'll never forget that performance and this piece. It's so beautiful, thank you for writing it.
This was incredible. I sat down thinking I would watch 5 minutes and I watched the whole thing
The second movement of this concerto is beautiful, especially the beginning in my opinion; amazing work Barfield!
and I thought Harlequin by Philip Sparke was the hardest Piece I'd ever play.. defenitely going to try this one!
