Grandfather's Clock-Euphonium Solo

This is a video of me (Connor Ellison, 16 years old) from the Ascot Park Hotel Brass Band of Invercargill, New Zealand playing the euphonium solo "Grandfather's Clock" at the 2009 New Zealand Brass Band Contest, Junior (under 19) Euphonium solo section in Napier. This was the winning performance and ment that I went on to compete in the Junior Champion of Champions event (a competition with all the winners of the junior solo events of all the different instruments) where I got a highly commended. I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to leave appropriate comments.

Love it! Can I ask where you got the music? I'm looking for contest music for this coming school year, any recomendations?

[ConnorEllison]

@JoceyRose If you want the sheet music search google for "Grandfather's Clock euphonium sheet music." I think the musicroom has the sheet music for it

[zlim751]

what euphoninum do you play?

[ConnorEllison]

@zlim751 York Eminence with a denis wick 4AL mouthpiece.

[Nintendoman851]

@ConnorEllison that was actually a high Bb, four ledger lines above the bass clef staff. but if you were talking treble clef, you were correct.

Love the sign in the back, wondering how this video was made...

Would you recomend this to a 9th grader? Freshmen in Huigh school and I really like this song. And I want to play it for my solo.

Ahhh, I play the Besson Prestige :)) its beautiful :) it has a trigger, which is quite nice! I also play with the 4AL mouthpiece, there actually trombone mouthpieces but ay'well :L
