	The Euphonium
		The euphonium is a brass instrument, which means that sound is produced by vibrating the air column with the lips.
		The first occurence of the unusual double belled euphonium appeared in the late 1880's, but they ceased to be manufactured in the 1960's, mainly because of the impractical nature of the instrument.
		One of the earliest occurences of the euphonium in orchestral music was in Richard Strauss' "Don Quixote", in 1896 (this was also the first time that a mute had been asked for) and soon after this, Mahler used a euphonium in his 7th Symphony.

	Euphonium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The so-called American-style euphonium, featuring three valves on the front of the instrument and a curved forward-pointing bell, was predominant in American school bands throughout most of the twentieth century and was almost universally labeled a "baritone" by both band directors and composers; this is probably responsible for much of the baritone/euphonium confusion.
		In addition, the euphonium is sometimes used in older orchestral works as a replacement of its predecessors, such as the Wagner tuba, the bass trumpet, or the ophicleide.

		The history of the euphonium begins in the early 18th century when many string instruments had reached some state of perfection but most wind instruments were still in their infancy.
		A fore-runner of the euphonium family, the serpent, was used in military bands as a marching bass during this period.
		The addition of a 4th valve to the euphonium is very desirable as it not only expands the range of the instrument, but can be used to improve intonation and facilitate certain technical passages.

	Deep House Page Forums: Musical instrument of the day - THE EUPHONIUM
		It is a valved brass instrument whose bore constantly increases in size from the valve section to the bell - this is called "conical bore", as distinguished from "cylindrical bore" instruments which maintain a constant tubing diameter for a greater portion of the instrument's total length.
		Instruments similar to the euphonium include the American-style baritone horn, the British baritone (which being a saxhorn is more cylindrical and trombone-like than the American baritone), and the Germany baryton and tenorhorn.
		The euphonium is not often used by symphony orchestras, (its most notable use being its part in Holst's Planets Suite) so its main venues are various wind bands, such as school bands, brass bands, marching bands, and military bands, where it is frequently featured as a solo instrument.

		The euphonium is a 4 valved tenor member of the brass family in the key of Bb.
		When the fourth valve is depressed additional tubing is added to the instrument putting it in the key of F. This additional tubing increases the lower range of the instrument between the fundamental and the second partial.
		The ophicleide, the bass instrument of the keyed bugle family, was the accepted bass of the military band until the middle of the last century.

	Tuba and Euphonium
		The tuba and euphonium are both members of the conical brass family, generally referred to as the "tuba family".
		In many respects, the euphonium is the same as the baritone horns played in American wind bands (that is, bands that include both brass and woodwinds), such as the Roseville Community Band.
		The euphonium and baritone horn are pitched the same, co-exist in the same section of the wind band, and play the same music, with their players using the same technique.

		The musical styles possible on the euphonium are unlimited as is evident by the repertoire: from total "EuPhunk" to ultimate seriousness represented by "In Memoriam" (a tribute to the "events" of September 11, 2001).
		However, many of us involved in the professional world of low brass are concerned about the ignorance that abounds in relation to the euphonium as a musical voice and the lack of knowledge by modern-day composers and arrangers who do not seem to have a clue as to how to effectively write for it.
		With the exceptions of Steven Mead's Euphonium Magic, volumes 1 and 2, the duet-tracked recordings of the Childs Brothers, and Toru Miura's The Euphonium Company ensemble, this is the first-ever recording of a large euphonium choir with multiple members.

	Baritone or Euphonium?
		Some are: a euphonium has four valves, a baritone three; if it’s in a bass clef it’s a euphonium, if it’s in treble clef it’s a baritone; a baritone is little euphonium; a baritone has the bell pointed forward, a euphonium points up; and (attributed to Robert King) a euphonium is a baritone played well.
		In the USA, the average man on the street doesn’t know what a euphonium is. This is partly due to a lack of exposure to the horn, but if he ever has seen one, it may have been referred to as a baritone, a baritone horn, a tenor tuba, or a euphonium.
		The euphonium has a larger bell and bore, and its tubing is mostly conical.

	Baritones and Euphoniums
		Baritones and euphoniums are valved brass instruments that have a range similar to the slide trombone, higher than a tuba and about an octave below the trumpet.
		Of the two instruments, the euphonium is generally considered the solo instrument, because of its sweet, mellow timbre, which is very different from the more direct, brassy sound of the trombone, the other brass instrument that shares this range.
		Many baritone and euphonium players will be comfortable reading either type of part, but, to be safe, you may want to provide each baritone or euphonium part both as a bass clef and as a treble clef part.
