Accomplished musicians individually, euphoniumists Roger Behrend and David Miles, and tubists Marty Erickson and Keith Mehlan, combine their talents to achieve the distinctive blend, balance, and sonorities that are the trademark of The Monarch Tuba-Euphonium Quartet.
The MTEQ strives to pursue and perform the highest quality literature for tuba-euphonium quartet, and many of the pieces on this recording have been written for or inspired by them.
Ralph Martino's Fantasyis an exciting new composition for tuba-euphonium quartet. The virtuosic setting juxtaposes driving multi-meter rhythms and soaring lyrical melodies against a backdrop of jazz-inflected harmonies. Its five sections are written as one continuous movement.
Three 16th Century Flemish Pieces was transcribed for tuba-euphonium quartet by Kenneth Singleton. This music effectively combines the drive and lightness of sixteenth century music with the sonority of twentieth century brass instruments. The energetic first and third sustained second movement.
Sousa's El Capitanmarch, transcribed by R. Winston Morris, is an example of a traditional march set for tuba quartet. He has captured the true spirit of one of Sousa's most popular works.
Bottoms Up Rag, an original composition by Keith Mehlan, pays tribute to the ragtime era. Traditional in form, the piece takes advantage of the idiomatic characteristics of the tuba and euphonium.
A mainstay in the repertoire of The MTEQ is the Quatre Chansons Pour Tuba Quatourby Raymond Dempsey. These fresh settings of four well-known French melodies are a welcome addition to quartet literature. The first movement is the popular and 'Ma Normandie' (My Normandy). 'V7a lbon vent' (The Good Wind) features a rapid 16th note accompaniment to the main theme. Each member of the quartet is spotlighted in a challenging cadenza which includes well-placed impish musical jokes. The lovely sentimental ballad 'Le Temps des Cerises ' (The Time of the Cherries) features the first tuba. The final movement, 'Aupres de Ma Blonde,' (Compared to my Blonde) begins with the melody being whistled in unison with the solo euphonium. After a short section of contrasting material, the melody returns as the subject of the fugue. This leads to a final technical display which ends the piece with a flourish.
Rossini's Petit Caprice In The Style Of Offenbachwas arranged by Ronald Davis and provides a demanding yet lighthearted recital selection for the tuba-euphonium quartet. Originally written as a piano piece, Rossini wrote this music as a parody on Offenbach's music after Offenbach had parodied Rossini in one of his own operas.

Massenet's 'Le Cid' is the source for Aragonaise, arranged by M.S. Erickson. This arrangement features the first euphonium in a popular encore piece.
