Reicha: Four Quartets - Euphonium-Tuba Quartet

[davewerden]

This suite was built from the delightful Reicha horn trios, expanded for euphonium-tuba quartet. Because they originated with trios, I was able to build in ample rest (dispersed among the 4 players). Then it was possible to add a little more musical interest when the ensemble goes from 3 to 4 voices now and then. Three of the four movements are represented in the video (I'm especially fond of the short but sweet middle movement!).

I find the suite works pretty well for euphonium quartet! Here is the 3rd movement with me, me, me, and me playing.

That was lovely!! But I did notice Euphonium Player 4 looking with disdain at Euphonium Player 1 a couple times.

...or perhaps at his own reflection with disdain???
