Dreamsong – for Euphonium and Piano

Dreamsong was commissioned by Geir Ulseth and the Nidaros Brass Band from Trondheim, Norway. After a short introduction, the soloist introduces a rather nostalgic melody before the piano takes centre stage with a slightly faster interlude, reaching a dramatic climax. Eventually, the piano restates the main theme, overlaid with an ornamented counter-melody from the soloist, who then closes the piece with a short cadenza. Solo parts in both bass and treble clef included.
