Does anyone know of a recording/performance of "Va, Pensiero"(Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) on euphonium? I'm planning on working it up with piano accompaniment for my church.

Well, here is something, in a lovely key I might add: https://www.free-scores.com/download...php?pdf=44637# You can listen or download the sheet music for free, I assume you already have the music, but if you want to play in 6 sharps...
Don't know if this will help or not.

Thanks, John, and, no, I'm not crazy about 6 sharps, although the tempo certainly makes it doable. The music's on the way, in E flat. I've been ordering music from Marc Reift in Sweden for a while now and really like the choices -- everything from solos with backing tracks to a variety of duets, ensembles, up to full band scores. You can see samples, listen to excerpts. Really works for me.
But I do like to hear other's performances, just to get inspiration on phrasing and overall treatment of a piece.
