This work was commissioned for Robert Childs and the Black Dyke Band by Doyen Recordings Ltd., and provides an accessible and enjoyable showpiece for soloists of all ages. The concerto's three movements are in a tuneful, melodic style and bravura passages are mixed with others designed to exploit the singing qualities of the instrument.

Euphonium Solo. Duration 8.09
Harlequin was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, euphonium virtuoso David Childs. The piece takes as its inspiration the happy and sad masks which symbolise the Commedia dell'Arte (which features Harlequin as one of its main characters) and comprises two movements, a slow modal ballad followed by a frenetic faster movement. A fantastic showpiece for any euphonium player.

08:00 "It was such a lovely day, I thought it was a pity to get up" 10:45 "I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me" 14:00 "Seeing is deceiving, it's eating that's believing" 16:50 "Well, we can't stand around here doing nothing, people will think we're workmen" 19:30 "Without music, life would be a mistake" 23:59 "No civilised person goes to bed the same day he gets up"
"... Head of composition at the RNCM, Adam Gorb writes in a familiar contemporary language, but his ideas sound fresh and his student works hold a lot of appeal. This set of six pieces describes specific times in a day, with witty titles such as "No civilised person goes to bed the same day he gets up". Teenagers of Grades 7 -8 will find the music in touch with urban teenage life, and will especially enjoy performing the lazy swing-feel piece. Although as with most modern writing there is not a lot of scope for expression beyond what's notated, there are plenty of technical hurdles to overcome." Reviewed 'Music Teacher'
