American Rhapsody - Euphonium, Piano and Percussionist - 15mins - Grade 6

$75.00
Add to Cart

VIEW RECORDING AND SCORE


American Rhapsody was composed for Glenn Van Looy and Brassband Buizingen, conducted by Dr. Luc Vertommen. The premiere of this reduced version for euphonium, piano and percussionist was given at the Royal Northern College of Music Brass Band Festival in 2018.


The title American Rhapsody is perhaps a little deceiving, the music itself not being directly impacted by specific American musical material or indeed influenced by any facet of wider American culture. The piece is more autobiographical, representing small collection of the the composer’s personal experiences of the United States, realised here through a continuous musical narrative. 


The opening movement, Colorado Eagle, refers to a visit to Lake Granby near Denver. The lake itself is manmade by the Granby Dam, stretching some 65 kilometres along the western entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park. On a clear and bright day the rippling of the deep blue lake water seemed almost to blend into the skyline, with any defining line of horizon softened by full white clouds and snowcapped peaks. A single bald eagle, impressive in size, was seemingly effortless in flight only feet above the water. 


Windy City Heartbreak was composed during a regular visit to the midwestern city of Chicago. Chicago is a special place, especially at Christmas time. The icy wind fuelled by lake Michigan is easily countered by the warmth in character of many Chicagoans. Sadly, statistics record that approximately six thousand people experience homelessness at any given point of the year in Chicago. Despite being surrounded by a population of 2.7 million, it must still be very easy to feel alone. 


If you’re lucky enough to have performed with Brooklyn Wind Symphony then chances are you’ve spent a night At Matt Torrey’s. It’s the very image of a rustic American bar, set in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The dark wood, dim lighting and ambient tunes provide a perfect release from the momentum of the work day’s traffic, trains and jam packed sidewalks. After dark Matt’s springs to life; an atmospheric hive of conversation, laughter and music. ​

The Healing Power of Flame (2011)
Brass Band


As the progressive rock band Transatlantic quote in their epic work of the same name, We All Need Some Light.

Since the dawn of man fire has been out most essential companion. A steadfast provider, it is  source of comfort, assurance and safety. On the other hand though, fire is one of natures most brutal and unpredictable forces; erratic, entrancing, devastating and spectacular. 
​
Our personal  ‘fire’ finds us in a multitude of ways. At one stage or another, we will all search for The Healing Power of Flame.

The Healing Power of Flame was commissioned by Kristy Rowe for premiere at the International Tuba Euphonium Conference 2012.

Soliloquy (2013)
Euphonium and Piano 


'Soliloquy' is a study in contrast. Dream-like and optimistic outer music bookends a downtrodden and struggle depicting middle section, which is thematically derived from Mussorgsky's 'Bydlo'. The moral of the story here is that no matter how dark, there is always something from which one can draw light - a theme which permeates much of Tom's more considered output.
