Fluffing a Duck

Kevin MacLeod

For euphonium and piano

In E♭ major, range E♭3 to F4

Someone is trying to give a very offended duck a fluffy hairdo: it waddles off, gets caught, squawks and waddles off again. Kevin MacLeod lets anyone use his music for free as long as they credit him, so you have probably heard it under countless funny videos.

We read MacLeod’s tune from Kaesi Green’s piano arrangement on incompetech.com, gave it to the euphonium (our tuba part an octave and a half step up) and wrote our own piano part after the recording’s band, with our own dynamics and articulation.
