WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW EUPHONIUM SOLO , CANZONA BRAVURA

Paul Lovatt-Cooper has composed "Canzona Bravura", a euphonium solo for Martin Smith who plays with Denham Hendon Brass. Paul said “ I was delighted to be asked to write a solo for Martin who I am pleased to see is keen to promote new music for the euphonium . The solo itself is composed in a modern yet lyrical style that shows off the range and colour of the instrument. It gives the soloist a variety of playing techniques to get their teeth into and there is lots for the audience to enjoy." who returned to playing after a thirty- five year absence said “ I am thrilled and excited to be playing a very different type of euphonium solo written by such a talented composer.
