A Final Fling (SPARKE PHILIP)

Euphonium Solo. Par SPARKE PHILIP. A Final Fling was written at the request of David Childs for a CD recording with a Celtic theme, which he released in 2007. The phrase ‘a final fling’ means a last quick effort at doing something, perhaps when this item is used as an encore, and also, a fling is a type of Scottish Highland dance, which tied in with the Celtic theme. A light- hearted piece, A Final Fling starts in the mood of a folk dance and quotes from The Irish Washerwoman before flying to a close. A perfect way to put your euphonium player in the spotlight. / Niveau : 4 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Baryton ou Tuba et Brass Band
