Imagine a film score where a majority of the film uses a symphony orchestra, but the most impactful moment of the film uses this exact arrangement. I would really love to hear that. And I've also got to represent euphonium. The euphonium is my favorite instrument to play. It is beautiful. I'd love to play in a euphonium/tuba ensemble. My goal as a composer is to give the euphonium a permanent spot in the symphony orchestra. There will be lots of amazing low brass parts, but truly beautiful euphonium parts.

Dang. If the tuba euphonium ensemble in my college played like this, I may have actually enjoyed sitting through all those concerts. Definitely beautiful instruments, but often terribly misused/underused. Our tuba/euphonium ensemble always played arrangements that were voiced poorly for the low register, rarely making use of the upper range of either instrument, resulting in what sounds like a bunch of non-pitched rhythmic ‘farts’ much of the time. It’s a shame that was my first/only exposure to the ensemble for years. Anyone else experience this with collegiate tuba/euphonium ensembles?

If a player masters or spends considerable time on their low range on a euphonium or tuba, it doesn't sound bad or like 'farts' at all.

It really depends on how you play the horn in its respective registers you may have a B flat tubist play the really dark deep low tones that bring this piece to life. And then have say an F or an E tubist Master the higher range on the horn and then you’ll have something cooking and may not even need the Euphonium if played to perfection the Tuba can do everything the Euphonium can but better I played Tuba so I may be biased😂 but it’s a melodic nature the “farts” you stated may be from the player themselves making mistakes and not having a proper foundation on how the instrument can be manipulated in the lower register this is definitely a Legato piece which are my personal favorite

I’m super late, but as a trumpet major in college I see it go both ways. Euphonium is an incredibly beautiful instrument that can bring so many different colors, but I’ve seen that here in Texas at least among younger players, the kind of blasty or “farty” marching band tends to be very common. I think it’s very important that younger low brass players are exposed to all the different uses of their instruments and how to play more than just simple bass lines. Love your channel btw Erik!!

Every time I listen to this, I find myself wishing it were longer, which leads me to listen to it tens of times on repeat. It's absolutely peaceful, and while jealousy comes in making me wish I could play on this level, it's inspiring enough to make me try to do so. Oh, what music can lead some to do, It's phenomenal.
