Euphonium

Scaramouche for Baritone or Euphonium and Piano

Philip Sparke

$31.95

Scaramouche continues Sparke's series of works which uses the Italian improvisational theatre tradition of "commedia dell'arte" as an inspiration. "Pantomime," "Harlequin" and, now, "Scaramouche" draw on the contrasting moods of pathos and comedy characterised by the "happy/sad" masks which symbolise European theatre. A slow expressive ballad, followed by a spirited vivace allows the composer to exploit both the lyrical and technical sides of the baritone, therefore giving the soloist the chance to display the full capabilities of their instrument.
