My performance of Ritmico, the third movement from Tom Davoren's Concerto for Euphonium and Wind Orchestra, accompanied by the Benedictine College Wind Ensemble, conducted by Tom Davoren. 

Notes from the composer:

"The third movement, Ritmico, is a rondo-like, concerto finale. As is typical of the genre it is virtuosic and in compound time, but recalls previous material as an apotheosis."
