Simone Mantia is one of the most important euphonium virtuosi in the history of the instrument. His contributions to the euphonium repertoire are significant. A composer and arranger, Mantia recognized the need to expand the euphonium repertoire and was active in bringing the euphonium from the back of the band to the front of the stage as a solo instrument. This solo collection presents modern editions of some of the most well-known pieces in Mantia's repertoire. These editions are based on the materials found in the Simone Mantia Collection, a resource archived in 2009 by Gretchen Renshaw which contains many of Mantia's musical possessions. Through collaboration with Steven Mead, Renshaw has aimed to correct the errors in the original versions of these pieces and provide editorial suggestions that will aid in exciting performances of these works.The titles included in this collection are: Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms, Valse Caprice "Priscilla", Rio Rita, The Southerner, Old Black Joe, Solvejg's Song and Fantasie Originale.
