German composer Woldemar Bargiel was the half-brother of Clara Schumann and composed a significant amount of chamber music. He was supported by fellow composers Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. His Adagio, opus 38 for cello and orchestra is an eloquently beautiful solo work and makes a very attractive solo feature for euphonium with wind accompaniment. This setting was premiered with euphonium soloist Misa Meade accompanied by the Loyola University Concert Band (New Orleans).
A standard in advanced flute repertoire, this brilliant showpiece is widely performed in contest and recital settings. Now, with this meticulously prepared accompaniment for winds, you can feature any stellar flute soloist on concert band programs for a stunningly effective concert feature.
