PROGRAM NOTE
Commissioned by the Michigan City Municipal Band and Hiram Diaz, Rhapsody for
Euphonium is an accessible work for advanced high school/college players with Grade 4 wind band
accompaniment. It is a work in three sections, one lyrical, one technical, and then a recap back to the
lyrical section, while exploring various key signatures. This rhapsody is written in dedication to
Hiram Diaz, for our friendship and continued collaborations to broaden and expand the euphonium
repertoire.
