Program Notes

The Summer Isles are a group of islands located off the northwest coast of Scotland that are famous for their wildlife. This piece, written for solo euphonium and brass band, reflects the natural beauty and relaxing atmosphere of the islands. The wonderful melodious nature of the euphonium is displayed in this piece, and the opening theme is followed by melodic interplay between the soloist and cornets.
