Tell me more about the audience?
Normal orchestra audience or special circumstances?

The Ewazen Concerto is a really nice choice. Bring something american to your UK audience...
Also... John Stevens' Journey is a wonderful piece. I really enjoy playing this one because it gives me a chance to solo on the big horn.

Would that be Haydn's trumpet concerto?

No, I think he is talking about the Bernard Heiden Tuba Concerto.

You should consider the Samuel Jones Concerto. It is very hard, but the audience here in Seattle loved it at the premiere last year. Naxos should have a recording out in a few months. You can get the piano reduction from

I think the orchestra version is rental from Carl Fisher, l

Here is Jones' web site
http://samueljones.net/links.htm. There are reviews of the concerto posted here. Jones told me that Gene Pokorny and David Kirk have expressed an interest in playing the concerto.

Just make sure you play btter than the trumpet players in the group!
We (Cimarron Music Press) just released a new Concerto by Barbara York. It was played by John Griffiths at ITEC in Denver. The Piano reduction is available on the Cimarron website and the orchestral version will be out ina few months. Michael Fischer will also be releasing a recording in a few months.
The piece is very tuuneful and tonal! I think it is quite a nice addition to the repertoire!!
