星めぐりの歌 (Hoshimeguri no Uta): Song of the Circling Stars for solo euphonium and piano.
Justin Weis, Euphonium
Shih-Yuan Chang, Piano
Performed on a doctoral euphonium recital 3/2/23 at the University of North Texas.
Song of the Circling Stars was written for his story "Twin Star" and was additionally featured in “Night of the Milky way Railway." Miyazawa composed the melody himself, and it has since been used for animated adaptations of his stories and other star-related media. This arrangement was made by Daiki Kato [http://kato-daiki.com/] for Mai Kokubo's CD "A War in Wonderland."
Amilcare Ponchielli - Concerto per Flicornobasso op. 155 arr. Howey
Justin Weis, Euphonium
University of Memphis Wind Ensemble
One of the great standards of the euphonium repertoire and considered the first euphonium solo (originally written for flicornobasso, an Italian bass flugelhorn), Ponchielli shows his operatic tendencies with this theme and variations where the first variation occurs before the statement of the theme! After the theme there are three variations that each increase in tempo, followed by a finale in the key of Eb.
