Stephen Mead is just the kindest gentleman in professional music. This arrangement proves his professional status as a master performer.

[@wyattwahlgren8883]

I've noticed that Steven Mead has a sense of humor. I'd like it to stay that way.

[@biggreenblob]

I am in love with his sound. Such clarity in the high register. It's simply beautiful.

[@Brobble]

The tone quality he has at that high of a pitch is unfathomable. I can't imagine ever being able to play like he does

[@jacobvaughn50]

Why would anyone dislike this? This guy is amazing!

[@TheOrca11235]

Respect the blind!!

[@bigheccinrat4061]

It’s probably jealousy

They play percussion.

I played French horn in Jr. Hi band till I got bashed in mouth in basketball. switched to baritone. Not allowed to play band and football Jr. & Sr. year (low IQ choice ... played football). Then on to Texas A&M band played flugelhorn. 50+ years ago. Said that to say this. The beautiful tone Steven Mead gets is heavenly. Thrills my soul. Wow. I love the sound of this instrument, and his technical ability is genius+.

[@michaelalejo9870]

Yes he helped design the Besson Prestige euphonium.

[@ajtheown]

Because the Arban isn't hard enough...

[@user-te6yp8fm7l]

I want to play euphonium like his sound. I most respect him!!! I love his sound

[@peterwelsh1932]

This guy has / is the perfect face for virtuoso Euphorium. Was LOLers by 6:00. And he had the restraint/ good taste not to go for the easy fart jokes for the low notes at the end. Class act all the way. Our classical recitals were so lame(mostly)

[@zedzen3690]

One of the best Euphonium players out there. He is so talented

[@Rhoadie1]

The Master....Period.

[@colbycrowne8881]

Wow. I've gotta start playing again. Incredible performance

[@Vincent1971tronco]

Tout simplement extraordinaire. Beaucoup d'autodérision pour un musicien d'une telle virtuosité. Mon rêve, vous rencontrer à nouveau en Belgique dans un de nos Brass Band. Merci Maître Mead. You're the best one!!

I’m here at the suggestion of my Lyft driver (a euphonium player) and this is magnificent! Thank you!

Complètement EBLOUISSANT !

[@Tocsin-Bang]

Amazing! Always wanted to play brass, but don't have any talent. This man is the finest I've ever heard.

[@johnries5593]

Probably you don't know if you have any aptitude for brass because you haven't tried. So you might want to pay a visit to your local music store, rent a horn that appeals to you, take some lessons and see how it goes. And don't worry about making terrible noises at the beginning; everybody does. Stephen Mead is very good, though as a full time professional euphonist, he occupies a rather unique niche.

[@worinof]

Same here, im also wanted to play Euphonium and possibly mastering it. But because of the high cost of the instrument makes it unaffordable for me, also because i have an interest in arts so i spent most of my goods for that. So the thing that i could do now is learning how to read notes even without any instruments

[@pixelator9002]

This version is so difficult that it makes me feel tired listening to it.

[@TubaDanny43]

Steven Mead is a monster!

[@fernandohinostroza2374]

Of course xD

[@teamblue2431]

That fact that he’s messing around in between his performance means he’s a god, playing for literal decades. Jesus Christ I wish I can be good like that one day.

[@kevinscott8650]

A question, who is the finer Euphonium player, I think it's between Steven Mead and David Childs ?

[@joshuafuentes5411]

David childs

[@Composer_Piggy]

Mead

[@ryanbristow2128]

Demondrae Thurman is my choice

[@user-fv6uq7dt5d]

A really too fine performance for words..

[@matthewdockray9745]

I'm learning Bob McChesney's version on trombone but it is super difficult, I can only do the opening bits, variation 1, half of variation 2 and all of variation 6 :/

[@johnries5593]

I've never played this on the bari (I don't play trombone), but I have to think that this would be considerably easier to deal with with valves than with a slide.

[@ProfessorGenius1]

How do I see you everywhere?

[@thebandtryhard5117]

Imagine him with David Childs?!?!?!

[@pauljohnson6233]

The slow bits are the most impressive.

[@iangarland3113]

y33tboy I hate to be “ that guy “ but if your using correct terminology, it would be a Euphonium, not a baritone

Euphonium is what I play and I think it sounds the best
