Pantomime (Sparke) tutorial with Steven Mead

Steven Mead gives a 25 minute explanation of how to approach this well loved euphonium classic, Pantomime by Philip Sparke.
It's hoped that this will be useful for anyone who has played the solo or intends to play in the future. Apologies for the slight distortion of sound at times.
This movie was made at Barkham Farm, North Devon on Sunday March 1st, 2020.

中学で初めて吹奏楽部に入って、トランペットとかトロンボーンを吹きたかったのにユーフォに選ばれて、どうしようってすっごくガッカリしてた時に、ミードのパントマイムを初めて聴いた。その時初めてユーフォっていいな、すごいなって思えた。出雲であったリサイタルで生でミードを見れて、生で聴けた時は本当に感動しすぎて涙が出た。私が今ユーフォを吹けてるのは絶対にミードのおかげ。そんなミードがこんな風に動画の投稿をしてくれるのが本当に嬉しい。ありがとうスティーブンミード！！！
Thanks!!

Well this is a cool thing to find when I am in fact practicing Pantomime by Philip Sparke

[@mpf4114]

Man I wished this video existed 20 years ago when I attempted to play this piece...very badly I might add. lol

[@vincenzocusumano3536]

Great steven

[@majorminor1982]

Thank you Steven for this wonderful video. Practicing instrument is probably the best thing to do when Coronavirus is out there.

[@stevemead1]

Yes, you are right!

[@jacobplayseuph478]

This is great! It would be amazing to see more videos about the standard euphonium repertoire posted!

[@stevemead1]

coming soon! send me a list of pieces you'd like a video on.

[@ivanilsonteixeira447]

Bravo mestre!

[@JustClaude13]

Oddly enough, I fell in love with the Euphonium because of a cartoon.
It has such a beautiful sound.

[@colinchan7199]

Sound Euphonium gang!

[@루이지하우스]

감사합니다 할아버지!! 오늘도 당신 덕분에 잘배워갑니다. 저는 한국의 군악대 소속 유포니움을 연주하는 병사입니다.

Could you make 'Song for Ina' version?

[@stevemead1]

OK!

[@panda-euph]

Wow! I can't wait it!
Thank you very much!

[@Paulo-it2is]

Sensacional 👏👏👏👏👏

[@secretlocked114]

I like your sound.

[@CarvalhoGamer88]

I am a Brazilian euphonist, I really appreciate your work and I really wanted a mouthpiece from the series that Mr. Mead uses! pity that Denis Wick does not expand musical boundaries and does not sell easily here! can you interfere in any way to facilitate? pardon my English ! lol

[@coolyohulio884]

This video is awesome. Could you do a tutorial for triple tonguing? I am lacking in that area of my skillset. Thanks for the video!

[@caedenleach2345]

Thanks!

[@euph_minhyung8707]

Thank you! Your pantomime is wonderful. Are you coming back to Korea? Many people want to see you.

[@ramsesgoncalvesaraujo5875]

Se tiver alguém que tem sabe colocar legenda ou dublagem, será só bênção

[@dmssilva6423]

Muiiiiiitoooo top

[@bogdanvacarescu8898]

Hi, Mr. Steven, what a mouthpiece you use, it looks different in this video? what are the differences between Besson euphonium 2052 Prestige silver and gold. But for mouthpieces, that's the difference between silver and gold. thanks

[@diegojunia5619]

Maestro buenas noches, disculpe que boquilla utiliza

[@erlingdahl1849]

Thanks! Would be good if you could make a video like this for Harlequin too!

[@louisthomas367]

Hi Steven what mouthpiece are you using

[@stevemead1]

for now the best answer I can give you is that it's a clarinet mouthpiece designed by an alien...but more news soon :D

[@wagnerfortes2192]

Master Steven Mead which mouth do you use?

[@euph_minhyung8707]

할부지 잘 배우고 갑니당...

[@TheSproutarian]

Just as impressive is Steve's jumper. I can tell by how it drapes that it is wool and not cashmere.
