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 any euphonium player.

De componist vond inspiratie voor dit werk in de vrolijke en droevige maskers van de Commedia dellâ??Arte, waarvan Arlecchino (Harlequin) een van de belangrijkste karakters is, en bestaat uit twee delen: een langzame, modale ballad,gevolgd door een jachtig, sneller deel. Tevens verkrijgbaar voor euphonium en harmonieorkest (AMP 133-010) en euphonium en brassband (AMP 133-030).

A Song for Susie beginnt mit einer schlichten walzerartigen Melodie und führt dann den Solisten durch verschiedene Stimmungen von ruhiger Sicherheit bis zu aufgewühlter Unsicherheit. Nach einem zentralen Abschnitt für den Pianisten kehrt die Tuba mit der ursprünglichen Melodie zurück, die nun mit Verzierungen ausgestaltet ist.

Not many works for strings translate well to brass, but this baroque Violin Sonata by Arcangelo Corelli is the exception. This arrangement of all 5 movements gives the brass player ample time to display virtuosic agility while also allowing some time to sing in the beautiful Saraband. Total duration 7:45.

Johann Wanhal (Vanhal) was an important classical composer from Bohemian/Czech heritage (1739-1813). His main living was as an organist and choirmaster, however Wanhal's musical output as a composer includes over a dozen concerti, many symphonies, chamber music, operas and much sacred music including 58 masses.

Wanhal is rumored to have played chamber music with Mozart, Haydn and Dittersdorf, with Wanhal on the cello.

In the 1770's Wanhal met the contrabassist Johannes Matthias Sperger and wrote a double bass concerto for him. The Concerto is in the key of E-Flat (original key of D for the double bass) in three movements and has been expertly arranged for Tuba and Piano by Ms. Janet Yarbrough of Duke University.

This work is available for solo Tuba with Wind Ensemble.

Premiered in October 2018 by the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, principal tubist David Saltzman as soloist, the Concerto features three movements with a cadenza between the second and third. Adler likens the solo passages in the first movement and cadenza to a singing cantor, an obvious homage to his own father's work in that role. Listen as Toledo Symphony Lab discusses the Concerto with Adler and tubist David Saltzman before the premiere. A perusal score is available at our Issuu library.
