EUPHONIUM ARTIST

Preliminary Round (recorded with piano accompaniment)

Prophecies – Barbara York (Cimarron Music)
NOTE: The Barbara York "Prophecies" contains a confusing marking at the bottom of page 3
of the solo euphonium part. The final four measures of this page are marked optional 8vb. The
composer has stated that the intended marking was actually optional 8va, and that it will be
corrected in future published versions. For the 2019 Falcone Festival competition our
adjudication panel will accept ANY recorded octave choice for these four measures.
