Euphonium Solo: Chopin "Cantabile" (I'm Always Chasing Rainbows). New Arrangement

I wrote this arrangement last week especially for this funeral service. It was to honor a lady who was SO fond of rainbows. Chopin's dazzling "Fantaisie Impromptu" takes a short break from all the fast notes in the middle Cantabile section. The melody was so lovely that it was turned into a pop song in 1917: "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows."

For anyone watching this video, this is an incredible example of how to make music and not just play the notes! Every single note and phrase in this performance expresses something beautiful. Slight crecendos and diminuendos carefully used on each note, fitting perfectly into each phrase, is what every musician strives to create in a beautiful melodic line like this one! Dave, this is awesom! This is why I love music! It makes you "feel"! I closed my eyes and visited Heaven for a few minutes! Thank You!
