Harlequin was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, euphonium virtuoso David Childs. The piece takes as its inspiration the happy and sad masks which symbolise the Commedia dell?Arte (which features Harlequin as one of its main characters) and comprises two movements, a slow modal ballad followed by a frenetic faster movement. A fantastic showpiece for euphonium and band.

Originally a liturgical choral piece, this setting is skillfully arranged for band, so they too may experience the solemnity, mysticism and deep religious feeling of Bruckner's work. Compelling!
