Fantasia - Gordon Jacob - Euphonium and Piano |
||
|
One of the earliest major works written for the euphonium, Gordon Jacob's Fantasia remains a standard work in the repertoire. Its haunting opening melody, fun and quirky Allegro section, lyrical melodic writing, triple tonguing intensity, low muted section, and demanding cadenza make it a composition worthy of performance. There are numerous ossias to assist with range limitations and the technical demands will prove a challenge for many players, but this should certainly be a familiar piece for all serious euphonium players.
This is undoubtedly one of our most important pillars in our historic original euphonium repertoire. It has for many years being a standard audition work for wind orchestra auditions and examination recitals.
