    Seeking short, witty and charming piece to show off my double-bell euphonium

    Let's say, hypothetically, I was giving a half-hour concert on my double-bell euphonium on April 13 at 12 noon. Ok, that's not so hypothetical. Anyway, most of my pieces use only the big bell; I think a little bit of the double bell goes a long way - in fact, only Mozart's Allelulia from Exsultate Jubilate really lends itself.But I'll want to chat a little bit about the history of the instrument and demonstrate the bells. Any suggestions for short tunes or themes that might show it off, a little more complex than Twinkle Twinkle, but less than Dave's version of Carnival of Venice?Stuart KernSilver Spring, MD

    Zeke and Zebedee by Neal Corwell could be a fun option. It's a ditty, so there is a narrator part. Zeek and Zebedee are brothers (as I recall) with differing personalities. One personality could be one bell and the other for the other bell.
