Fantasy for Euphonium, Philip Sparke

One of the earliest of Sparke's fantastic works for euphonium, the "Fantasy" features lyrical and technical passages including some triple tonguing. The work alternates an atmospheric recitative with a driving allegro section. It has quickly become a standard in the repertoire.

Commissioned and premiered by Ashley Klumpp

	The basis for this work is inspired by Robert Schumann’s piano piece Carnaval (1834) and a technique he used to compose it. Schumann’s piece features pitches that spell out names of a town, a friend, and a lover as the melodic basis for each movement. With Ashe I used four letters from Ashley’s name that serve as the melodic pitches and are frequently used throughout: A = A-natural;     S = Es, or E-flat; H = B-natural*; and E = E-natural.
*(in this piece I substitute B-natural with Bb)
