Oh, no...not again!
I'm a huge Steely Dan fan. A few years ago, I cooked up a medley for the Indianapolis Brass Choir consisting of Reelin' In the Years, Home Again, Peg, ad My Old School. I had to cut a couple of tunes out of the original, which was 12 minutes long and I had to come in under 9 minutes.
STEELY BRASS
The bit in Reelin' In The Years, the melody on Peg, and the guitar riffs in My Old School are me on a Yamaha 321 with a mouthpiece that started life as a Wick 5 but got drilled out in the throat to some illogically large opening.
For your enjoyment and/or amusement, my friends. My hope is that some of this stuff will encourage performers/composers/arrangers to think of the euphonium in previously non-traditional roles.
Happy New Year
Jim Williams--taking the euphonium to places it probably has no business being in.
