Two Sketches For Euphonium And Band

During a rehearsal of the Military Musical Chapel of Luxembourg, Harry Richards became acquainted with the euphonium player Jean-Luc Desorbay. Richards offered to write Desorbay a composition for euphonium and concert band (also available for Fanfare Band , Brass band, Euphonium and Piano). The result is a wonderful composition in two movements. The first part is the more romantic section of the composition, with long musical phrases. The second part is a little more playful, where technique plays a larger role. It’s a real challenge for the soloist and also the accompanying band.
