When writing his tuba concerto, Philip Sparke wanted to create a work which explored the many aspects of the instrument’s technical and vocal qualities but without resorting to caricature. The result is a concerto in two joined movements, which can both be programmed individually, that contains both many lyrical lines together with stunning virtuosic passages. An outstanding concerto that tuba players and brass band audiences alike will enjoy and applaud.

De technische en lyrische eigenschappen van het instrument komen in deze compositie optimaal tot hun recht. De componist wilde er namelijk zeker van zijn dat het werk écht een concerto voor tuba zou worden en dat de muziek zou passenbij het instrument in de solistenrol. De solostem in het tweedelige Tuba Concerto bestrijkt bijna drieënhalf octaaf. Beide delen kunnen afzonderlijk worden geprogrammeerd: een langzaam deel en een scherzo.

Philip Sparke schuf mit seinem Tuba Concerto ganz bewusst ein Stück, das der Tuba als Soloinstrument voll und ganz gerecht wird. Aus diesem Grund deckt die Solostimme fast dreieinhalb Oktaven ab und nutzt die technischen und klanglichen Qualitäten des Instruments voll und ganz aus. Das Konzert besteht aus zwei zusammenhängenden Sätzen, die beide einzeln aufgeführt werden können: einem langsamen Satz und einem Scherzo. Noten für eine Aufführung mit Tuba und Klavier sind ebenfalls erhältlich.

Tuba Concerto est une œuvre de commande pour le facteur allemand Miraphone, spécialisé dans les cuivres. Philip Sparke a composé et dédié cette pièce Markus Theinert, un ami de longue date, qui en a assuré la création le 30 avril 2006 Sigmaringen en Allemagne accompagné par le Brass Band Oberschwaben-Allgäu.L’idée d’un concerto pour tuba a été longuement discutée entre le soliste et le compositeur dont le souci était de créer un véritable concerto développant un matériau parfaitement adapté au rôle solistique de l’instrument, sans tomber dans la caricature. Ainsi, la partie soliste couvre trois octaves et demie et exploite pleinement les qualitéstechniques et expressives de l’instrument.Tuba Concerto est une composition en deux mouvements joints qui peuvent également être joués séparément. Le premier mouvement débute lentement puis s’accélère progressivement. La cadence annonce la réexposition du matériel thématique initial. Le second mouvement, écrit en forme de scherzo, semble plus résolu mais chemine vers plus de légèreté. La reprise du matériel thématique initial offre une conclusion efficace et puissante.Ce concerto est également disponible dans une version pour Tuba solo et Brass Band (AMP 173-030) et Tuba solo et Piano (AMP 187-401).

The composition begins with the solo tuba stating the four notes (F, Bb, G, C) on which the entire piece is based. All other themes, and much of the harmony, are built on these four notes and their permutations. There are four main sections, with a brief cadenza before the last movement

In de loop der eeuwen is schitterende kerstmuziek geschreven. In de dertiende eeuw ontstond March of the Three Kings. Deze melodie, die wordt toegeschreven aan een anonieme monnik, is nog altijd geliefd. In Fantasia on a13th Century Carol is de melodie verwerkt in diverse variaties en stijlen, met als hoogtepunt een symfonische mars.
