Solo concerto
The work falls into three contrasting movements and was written in close collaboration with Katrina Marzella who commissioned the work in 2007. It was agreed from the outset that the piece should be specifically a ‘Baritone’ Concerto and not a ‘Euphonium’ Concerto masquerading as the former. Having written a Euphonium Concerto (for Steven Mead) over a decade ago it soon became apparent that the two instruments were rather like the cello (euphonium) and viola (baritone) of the orchestral string section and so I approached the work with this concept in mind. The scoring is generally light (with some louder interludes) though in no way is the solo baritone compromised and a full and present sound is always required.
Fusions
An Allegro ritmico of mixed metres, largely percussion driven, provides the opening movement. The obvious confusion between 8/8 and 4/4, 10/8 and 5/4 etc forms the basis of the ‘fusions’ as they eventually become played (in different families) at the same time. The solo part is agile and lyrical by turn and the concluding bars are somewhat ‘throw-away’ and unresolved.
Soliloquy: Andante cantabile con rubato
The soloist opens the movement unaccompanied, the band soon entering in ever increasing density and emotional involvement with the various themes being developed and adjusted as the journey progresses. This is a pure celebration of the unique cantabile qualities of the baritone inspired by the equally unique ‘voice’ of the work’s dedicatee.
Tangents: Scherzando ominoso e giocoso
The finale’s mood was suggested by the soloist and the composer here takes a different angle from his usual light closes to concertos. As the tempo marking suggests, two contrasting ideas are brought into play and indulge in some competing engagements for centre stage before one of them emerges the victor!
