BEL CANTO FOR EUPHONIUM TC/BC STEVEN MEAD

Bel Canto for Euphonium contains vocalises that were originally intended for the development and training of the singing voice. Almost since its ''invention'' the euphonium has been regarded as perhaps the most vocal of all brass instruments. Singers as well as brass players have to work intensively on sound production and tone quality. These vocalises when studied carefully will encourage many positive aspects of performance. They are real gems from the world of music and have a virtually universal appeal. The demo CD, featuring the vocalises accompanied by the piano, provides one interpretation played by euphonium virtuoso Steven Mead himself. A book containing the piano accompaniments is available separately (order number DHP1064164).
