A florid cadenza leads to the first thematic section, marked \"Hymnal,\" a lovely flowing tune accompanied primarily by low clarinets and bassoons. The motion picks up, and a second lyrical melody is introduced by the euphonium, now with a significant amount of counterpoint and rhythmic movement in the accompaniment. A virtuosic section emerges, with a return of the opening fanfares pitted against the technical passagework of the soloist. An active transition brings us to a central climax and euphonium cadenza. The central theme is presented, highlighted by harmonic third relationships in the brass. The full ensemble takes up the nostalgic tune—with some thrilling counter lines--and the section closes quietly. The second theme returns with undulating sixteenths, and we are presented with flashbacks of earlier material as the concertino rushes to a spirited close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican composer Kevin Kaska enjoys great success in a variety of musical genres.
