| 解説 | フィリップ・スパークの本作は、楽器の持つ歌心と超絶技巧をバランス良く引き出した、現代ユーフォニアムの代表的協奏曲です。伸びやかな抒情性をたたえた旋律、美しく精緻なハーモニー、そして高度な技術を必要とする快速パッセージが緊密に組み合わさり、作品に大きなスケール感を与えています。ソリストの表現力を存分に示せる内容で、演奏会でも高い評価を得る華やかな協奏曲です。 （出版社のオリジナル解説） The original concept for this work was a suite of short movements， each with its own character， but by the time the first movement was complete it was clear that a conventional three-movement format was going to work out better. The opening movement contains much syncopation and is almost rag-like in style. The slower second movement explores the unsurpassable ability of the euphonium to play lyrically， with a theme that is later taken up by the band whilst the soloist weaves a filigree descant. This leads straight into the third movement， which is almost bebop in style and shows off the jazzier capabilities of the euphonium. The concerto was composed for the virtuoso soloist， Steven Mead. This version for euphonium and piano is sure to become a concert classic. |
