Performed this with a fine USAF Trumpet player at WIBC some years ago as the Euphonium Soloist. Unbeknownst to us, Frederick Fennell was in the audience. Came up to me, looked me in the eye and said: “That was very fine work.” To my dying day, other than salvation and my marriage this was “my finest hour.”
W. Schuman really deserves a bigger profile. He's known to the band world, but he wrote a tremendous lot for chamber, piano, and orchestra. He's up there in the American Pantheon with Barber, Gershwin and Copland, Bernstein, Ives, and Harris.
This piece with Mark Jenkins unearthly euphonium playing is perfection in music! I especially like that chord in the clarinets that enters at 4'19" under the soloists, and that wonderful brass choir at the end, with the field drum carrying us all off.....
Played this in college in 1958-59, as the first baritone horn part along with the first trumpet. We started off with a tenor drum introduction then came in. Not quite sure when euphoniums took over in bands. Sometime after that obviously. Also had the good fortune at a summer music camp where Leonard Falcone conducted a baritone sectional and of course brought his golden 4 valve baritone. I have since played the euphonium and the smaller English baritone, which is still used in English brass bands, although the first Euphie has more solo parts.
To any one who’s reading this comment, always remember that inspiration lies in music. The connection we have as musicians with God is something that is unexplainable. Everyone has a reason as to why they have fallen in love with music, and when you feel lost, the answer has always been in front of you. Life is a mysterious thing, but music and God will clear it up when it needs to be.

I wish this song could be played for our President on December 26 2020 to remember those who fought at the battle of Trenton on December 26 1777.
Even if it could, Trump wouldn't have given a shit.
