Product Information

Three Florida Orchids is a 3-movement original work for tuba, euphonium and piano composed by T.O Sterrett.

I. Wild Coco orchid: Eulophia alta

II. Night Fragrance orchid: Epidendrum nocturnum

III. Water Spider orchid: Habenaria repens

“Three Florida Orchids presents a variety of musical moods: raucous rhythm & blues; pensive tranquility; and playful mischief. These match more the names than the appearances of the orchids in question. In the first movement — Wild Coco — the euphonium and tuba are hot-dogging for pure fun. The second movement — Night Fragrance — gives them a chance to show off melodic beauty, and the last movement – Water Spider — is an opportunity to romp and play. Three Florida Orchids was commissioned by DEG Music Products/Willson USA.” — T.O. Sterrett
