Music

I play the euphonium (pictured at right) primarily with the Los Angeles Pierce Symphonic Winds, but I have also played with other groups including the San Fernando Valley Orchesta, 99 Tubas, and other small ensembles.

As principal euphonium, I am responsible for playing the solos written for the Euphonium. I have performed the following works from the standard concert band repertoire

• Festive Overture - Shostakovich
• First Suite in Eb for Military Band - Holst
• Lincolnshire Posy - Grainger
• Overture, Le Carnaval Romain. (The Roman Carnival) - Berlioz
• Pineapple Poll: Suite from the Ballet - Sullivan
• The Planets - Holst
• The Planets (Orchestra) - Holst
• Second Suite in F for Military Band - Holst
• When Jesus Wept - Schumann

I played the first part (bottom-right of the picture) as a member of the 99 Tubas. The ensemble performed two pieces for Tommy Johnson's Tribute Concert: Fanfare for a Big Man, and Finale from Tchickofsky's 4th Symphony. Jim Self composed the first piece and arranged the second for 6-part Tuba ensemble.
