Euphonium Duet Video - Flower Song - Tim Morris and Dave Werden

[davewerden]

Tim Morris and Dave Werden, euphoniums, and Sara Brunk, piano, performing a duet originally written for sopranos. The duet is from Lakme, by Delibes, arranged for euphoniums and piano by Adam Frey. Tim is playing the first euphonium part.

Sorry about the lighting, but the sun came around during the recording. Tim and I are not quite so exposed, but poor Sara got really blasted with light.

The sheet music we used is available from:

Tim and I are both playing Adams Custom euphonium, made of yellow and gold brass, with a sterling silver bell. The instruments are hand-made in Holland. Learn more here:

Tim is a student of mine who is currently attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His recent honors include winning the 2012 Falcone International Euphonium Competition and the 2013 Midwest Regional Tuba and Euphonium Conference's Young Artist Competition.

The recording was made with a Canon digital camcorder, an Audio-Technica AT-825 stereo microphone, and a portable digital audio recorder

That was beautiful! The parts blended perfectly with identical phrasing.

I can't think of a better adjective than Rick -- simply beautiful with two horns melding as one. Obviously a testament to the players, but you can tell how responsive the Adams horns are. I'm sure it is a privilege for each of you to play with the other.
