Happy Friday (if it still is Friday when this is posted).
Back to the homogeneous genres we go with some low brass ensembles. There will be one video and the ensemble of choice is the University of Wisconsin tuba euphonium ensemble.
The first one is titled Variations on The New World Symphony. It is an interesting arrangement of the second movement from Symphony No. 9 by Antonin Dvorak and features many changes and additions to this familiar movement. I can’t say I agree with all, or even most of the changes as this movement is already a masterpiece in my opinion and these additions don’t really add anything worth adding. It is wonderfully played however, and the soloist in particular was nice and expressive.
(I would also like to mention that this movement, of all movements in this symphony, was chosen for a tuba euphonium ensemble. This could be a coincidence or maybe Mr. James Woodward took inspiration from the fact that this is the only movement that features tuba in the entire symphony).
Here is a link to the piece.
