July 24, 201015 yr Very nice march once again! I see you added saxophones to this. Just wondering, is there any reason to why your Euphonium/Baritone parts are different? Also, I don't know much about percussion, but I think the cymbal player might get tired of playing the same note every measure throughout the piece. I enjoyed listening to this, nice work!
July 24, 201015 yr Great march! I loved the trio. The trio of your last march was basically stolen from another march, I can't remember the name, but I'm sure it's pretty popular. I don't know if this was intentional, because I know of several occasions where I've written melodies from other pieces thinking they were mine! So I wouldn't consider getting that published. As for this march, I really enjoyed it! Ben- The Baritone and Euphonium are technically different. The baritone has a more broad sound of more like a deep french horn and is typically paired with middle voices. The Euphonium sound is a bit more thin and is more like a tenor tuba than a horn. If that makes sense. The disambiguation of these two instruments are long gone and nowadays bands use euphoniums and baritones on one part exclusively rather than separate parts as seen in older band scores , (especially Reed.) I hope that makes sense!
July 25, 201015 yr Yeah, but I was just seeing why he was making the parts different, whether it was for the two different instruments, or whether it was just to have a BC and TC part.
July 25, 201015 yr Yeah, I agree. Nowadays it's pointless to write two separate parts for the instruments. Most high schools use Euphoniums and most scores write for solely them. However, occasionally I've seen them scored as this. Baritone (Euph.) or Euphonium (Bar.) but never both instruments on their own staff. Also, I think you flipped the roles of the baritone and euphonium by giving the euphonium more play time. But this is easily debatable.
July 25, 201015 yr Author I came from middle Europe, it´s homeland of baritones and tenorhorns, and it´s tradition and here very normal to make the different parts.
