It isn't in Orchestras and rarely gets love from wind ensembles - aside from wind ensemble marches - but it really shines in solos and brass band and can be a valuable asset in wind ensembles if the players know how to make good sounds as it can bridge the incompatibility between tubas/trombones.
ahhh we had a concert last night where Philip Sparke actually came to our town and conducted this, Hymn of the Highlands, and we premiered Neapolitan Holiday, Great Piece!
I don't like to admit it, but he's right. But when you listen to the whole song you have to admit that David Childs is a fantastic musician. greetings from the Netherlands.
This is one of the Better and Harder to find recordings of Pantomime. I really like this one, it's just that my favorite performance of this solo is the one Frey did with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. It's on Majestic Journey.
The “TONE” Kings: (1.) Demondrae Thurman (2.) David Childs (3.) Philip Sparke (4.) Brian Bowman It simply doesn’t get any better than their “sound(s)”. 💯
@@Jonavttp I (personally) think Mead may have the best overall technique & playing ability of all time on Euphonium. Dude’s an absolute surgeon! I don’t believe he has one of the best tones. The way he plays is certainly by design - I just find it “thinner”, “brighter” w/less “weight” on the sound than the 4 I listed above. What’s your opinion? Whose tone do you enjoy most?
@MrEuphoniumGuy Try studio-music.co.uk - search for Pantomime and you will find the solo part as well as available arrangements for Wind Band (this) and Brass Band. Can't send a link in the reply - since I get an Error when I try. So Google studio-mucic.co.uk.
I was privilaged enough to play this solo with the Old Dominion University Wind Ensemble back in 99. I was so very nervous. David Childs plays wonderfully but I have to agree with Jipoman that I've heard a much better performance from Steven Mead on this. Roger Behrend remains my favorite euphonium soloist. Got to study under him from 96-later half of 97. Great experience. But....love Childs. Great stuff
Cool I'm playing this for my middle school solo and ensemble festival. I can play everything even the 3rd octave Eb but I just can't play the fast part in the end accurately. I can get the phrasings but I can't accurately hit each note. It's too late to back out and my solo is in a month. Any recommendations to help me? I am super desparate for feedback on how to play that fast part.
Empire Videos grab a metronome and start playing it at a low speed to learn all the notes well and then speed up with 5 every time you've played it good:) that's how I learned Harlequin by Philip Sparke... If that doesn't work, just play it a little less fast, you're the soloist, not the orchestra or the piano you're playing with :) good luck!
Me and my friend are both euphinium prodigies. If you don't believe it you should hear us play the arban's variations on carnival of venice. and I'm in 8th grade.
I like this, too. But first the Video with Maed is less qualitative and Mead did it better in my opinion because he played it with more feeling but in this video the soloist played it very accurate.
I love this version. I find steven mead played it a little cleaner over all. But I loved David's trill and resonating last note so clean. Better than steven mead.
Love it
I cannot forget his sound.
I think the top of the world is his.
Amazing!!!
I think Dave is a great inspiration to all us 19 year old players, I learnt so much from him!
Ive never known the Euphonium is such a active and inimitable brass instrument

david childs has such a great sound
Nick Childs always played that solo the best.
Der beste Komponist aller Zeiten!!!

greetings from the Netherlands.
Why dont you like to admit it?
David Childs is the Roger Federer of Euphonium
i just started about a year ago so i get chills when i hear this
Wow , that blew me away
How come? Please explain.
the beginning of this piece sounds so graceful peaceful and almost sad, then when you hear the motif it starts to get bouncy.
I love it.
David Childs RULES ,on the note I love euphonium
Great version, thanks for sharing!
HAHA!! Woo~ 1 of the best versions in youtube!!
This is absolutely beautiful and stunning!!
Still is.
a friend of mine is playing a solo like this in solo and ensemble best of luck to her she has amazing musicianship and tone she can handle it.
神!!

I'm looking forward to play with that orchestra :)

One of these things is not like the others...
@@MrMWPeach true enough😅
Steven Mead?

What’s your opinion? Whose tone do you enjoy most?
@@THEbeautifuLIE My favorites are probably Robert Vos, Mead, and David Childs, but you have an excellent point
holy shito. . .i pass out now.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wish i could see Brian Bowman, David Childs, and Steven Mead play this together and maybe along with Harlequin, if their chops are still good!
super
We played this song w Demondrae Thurman at Mays High School can't find a clip anywhere sadly😓

My God, this is incredible.
I have to play this as a sophomore in high school, so this is excellent demonstration listening.
Music for trumpeters holiday

It is so weird, i was just watching your videos.
Just Amazing. It's David Childs, what you going to do? Ahaha :)
My Besson Euphonium is ten years older than he is!

Impossible to smooth it out that much. Besides. Dont diss the euph :O its pure win :P

ur rite sometimes he does rush cuz most of the time he plays he does it by memory so he can rush without seeing the music their.
+1
anyone can send me this sheet music?

+EmpireVideos what if we played this for winter concert?
no
I love the fast part ending at 7:15 Im gonna try to play this for next years solo and ensemble for my senior year..... but idk.
did you ever end up playing it?
Me and my friend are both euphinium prodigies. If you don't believe it you should hear us play the arban's variations on carnival of venice. and I'm in 8th grade.
astronomicat Whatcha doing now?
PimpleCheese probably not playing euphonium
I listened to both David Childs and Steven Mead play this and I think David Childs plays it better. Just saying. (:

Add Demondrae Thurman and we just found a killer euphonium quartet.

it can't be a arrangement to new all of them are by sparke
3-2-1 dusty bin !!
I am sure, you can not do this.
desperate for a gig arent you :)
音色は凄いけど ビブラートかけすぎな気がするかな しつこい
まさに好みの問題なんでしょうけれど、私も同じく、このビブラートは 少しあざとい感じを受けます。
もう少し自然な感じだったら違う印象なんだとは思います。
これは金管バンド特有の奏法です。
まー知らないと分からないですね。
david childs is nothing compared to adam frey
david childs has such a nicer tone.
