Program Notes
Euphontastic is a piece written for solo euphonium and concert band and is dedicated to Steven Mead, an English virtuoso euphonium soloist and teacher who has played a significant role in achieving worldwide recognition of his instrument: the euphonium.
The derivative title Euphontastic comes from the union of two very significant words to understand the meaning and character of the work: euphonium+fantastic. Through this union a true relationship is created between the great moments of virtuosity of the work, the maximum expressivity taken to the limit and the great majesty, all achieved by the great possibilities of this instrument.
