Katrina Marzella (Solo Baritone) and the Black Dyke Band perform "The Holy Well" by Peter Graham at the New York Staff Band's 129th annual festival held on March 19, 2016 at the Centennial Memorial Temple in New York City.
Stumbling across gems like this makes putting up with all the junk on RU-vid worthwhile. It's highly unlikely I would have done an active search and found this as I had previously not heard of Ms. Marzella until the algorithm led to her duet "More Than Words" (tune by Extreme) which then led to this. Her sound is absolutely ethereal.
Absolutely amazing the sound is so beautiful and, miss you so and do hope to see and hear you soon. You are so gifted and a beautiful person. Thank you
I know that you said "almost", but I think her sound is distinctly baritone rather than euphonium. To me, it is brighter and I prefer it for this piece.
You are right. After listening to her a second time, I concede to Baritone. But, she does demonstrate tonal control, to the point that she could make the transition to Euphonium rather easily, if she were of a mind to do so.
As you say, she has enviable musicianship and, no doubt, could transfer to euphonium any time she chose. Many who are half as accomplished, would make the move, because of the soloing opportunities. That is borne out by a quick search for baritone and euphonium solos on RU-vid. In her case, I imagine she will have all of the solos she wants, and that she is happy to show what can be done on baritone. Among us lesser players, of course, it is so underrated and overlooked that it is the butt of many a joke. That certain parts are regarded like that does not show brass banding in a good light.
@@turnitback A euphonium plays to bass but a baritone is to tenor or maybe even alto but I would love to hear Katrina on a euphonium though! She seems to have the strong breathing muscles need to play through the extra three feet of tubing! a baritone is basically just a piccolo euphonium! she does have gorgeous sound and looks too!

Lovely performance. Always love her sound. (Someone might want to talk to the young cornet player behind her about neutral facial expressions while on stage.)
