Description
Completed on New Year’s Eve 1995, Philip Wilby’s “Concerto for Euphonium” is widely regarded as one of the greatest works ever written for the instrument. This expansive concerto explores the “fine combination of sustained lyricism and explosive virtuosity” that defines the modern Euphonium. The first part features a cerebral, motif-driven opening followed by the high-energy “Zeibekikos”—a Greek Island dance famously featuring “plate smashing” rhythms. Part two moves through atmospheric cadenzas and a sustained Adagio before concluding with a rapid, relentless fugal finale. It is a tour de force for the soloist and ensemble alike, offering a professional and high-impact showcase for the instrument’s incredible range.
