Lincolnshire Posy - Would Like Input/Opinions
Hello all,
The conductor of my university wind ensemble today stated that he plans to program Grainger's magnum opus, Lincolnshire Posy, on our next concert. Being principal euphonium in the group, I would be tasked with playing the "baritone" part and the attached solos. I realize that Grainger's intention was for this part to be played on an actual British baritone horn and not a euphonium as there is also a separate euphonium part. Knowing this, I would like to 1. be authentic to the composer's wishes and 2. take advantage of the opportunity to use my baritone horn. I would love input from those who have played this part on baritone, or just in general. Should I make the suggestion to my conductor?
