You can now listen to some of the euphonium solos (and a new Baritone solo) featured in my last recital;

Hi Charley,

Thanks so much for all your 'plugging', and please
pass on my appreciation to your friend for his
exposure.

I have listened to the CD a few times now and I never
realised how lyrical the euphonium can sound, with
such a rich mellow texture. It really creates a lot of
colours in my mind.

As a result I have decided to write a piece especially
for the instrument. I think it will initially have
small accompaniment, and I may later arrange for small
orchestra.I'll let you know how I get on in the 'not
too distant future'!!

Once again thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Stuart Hyson, composer

Just added another track, a short and evocative encore piece originally for clarinet, but it worked so well, it's now published by Warwick Music.

In the centre section, composer John Robert Brown puts the two players 1 quaver beat apart in an upbeat tempo.

Great fun;
