Thread: Tom Davoren Concerto for Euphonium

  1. Tom Davoren Concerto for Euphonium

    Hello fellow Euphers,

    Tom Davoren has composed a brand new concerto for euphonium and wind band. You may recognize his work from the popular "Ascension" for solo trumpet and euphonium. The work was commissioned by the Michigan City Municipal Band, directed by Dr. Jeff Doebler. It was premiered at the Chapel of the Resurrection at Valparaiso University, Indiana on November 6th, 2021.

    Highlights and Features:

    -Challening Euphonium Solo, about as tough as Sparke's 1st Concerto.

    -Accesible, tuneful material.

    -Grade 3 band parts. This is a particularly amazing feat, as the work can be played with a very broad level of band, from a talented middle school to a professional ensemble. The parts are engaging and enjoyable.

    -The parts and score will be available at the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic for pre-order.

    -Piano reduction and Brass Band arrangement forthcoming.



    Concerto begins at 12:35

    Enjoy!

    Hiram

    Great playing Hiram! Really liked the concerto! Although the band's sound sometimes go lost in that large auditorium you sounded great and focused! Also liked your choice for encore... "Serenade from the Student Prince" (Romberg). Thanks for sharing.

    I enjoyed the new Concerto, Hiram. Well done, bravo! Your rendition of Student Prince was eloquent. You looked mighty darn spiffy in front of the band, well done. You do the Marine Band proud.
