Hi Nyal

I know your profession, hence the tease about the Euphonium. (where the USA is
the home of the unique double belled version)

Wikipedia has a good article on them for those who don't know what it is. -
Summary, the brass equivalent of the cello - Conical bored baritone/tenor range
Bb. Far too civilized to be trashy - except when used in marching bands. Tormod
Flaten is a good example of what the instrument can / should do.

I like the romantic era composers, but Vivaldi and Bach are more appropriate to
soaring. "Music which is melodious yet so constructed as to reflect the "perfect
order" of the universe: that is the essence of the baroque."

Specifically, I would recommend the Debussy quartet.

Now, what is this about Wikipedia, and under what should
I look?

OK I will bite -
String quartets are nice - but there has to be some
baroque.

So in my books - for gliding musinc - No Euphonium
means maximum score can't
exceed 70%... (look on wikipedia if you have to)

Unless it is a string quartet, it is too trashy to
accompany a glider in flight!

Now, there's a troll for you.
