Diamond Concerto was commissioned by Musikverein Mörschied from Germany - Dr. Eric Grandjean, conductor - for a special concert featuring Steven Mead as guest soloist. Together they gave the world premiere on 28th April 2012 in the town theatre of Idar-Oberstein.The commission is a highlight in the 30-year friendship between composer and soloist, which has included many mutual CD projects and concerts and, now, a concerto. Sparke had Steven Mead’s special euphonium sound in his head throughout the composition process and made free use of the variety of styles which the world-renowned virtuoso has made his own during his highly successful solo career.The village ofMörschied lies to the west of Frankfurt am Main in the area known as the German Road of Precious Stones, which is famous for its thriving gem industry. Because of this it was decided to give the commission a local connection by choosing the title, Diamond Concerto. Each of the three movements is named after a famous diamond:1 EARTH STARis rather stern in mood, opening with a free fantasy for the soloist over a static chord from the band. This leads to an Allegro Moderato in minor mode where small motives are gradually repeated and developed by both band and soloist.2 OCEAN DREAMuses a varied quote from the composer’s Music for Battle Creek, including a melting slow melody that was originally written with Steven Mead in mind.3 BLUE HEARTwas written, at Steven Mead’s suggestion, in bebop style and takes the form of a jazz waltz. The quasi-improvisatory central section features a call-and-response passage for the soloist and upper woodwinds.Soloist: Difficulty 6Diamond Concerto is available for euphonium and piano (AMP 374-401) as well as for euphonium and brass band (AMP 354-030). Diamond Concerto is geschreven in opdracht van de Duitse Musikverein Mörschied - met dirigent Eric Grandjean - voor een speciaal concert met Steven Mead als gastsolist. De wereldpremière vond plaats op 28 april 2012 in het Stadttheater van Idar-Oberstein.De opdracht vormt een hoogtepunt in de dertig jaar lange vriendschap van de componist en de solist - waarin ze aan vele gezamenlijke cd-projecten en concerten werkten. En nu is er dan dit concert. Sparke heeft het gecomponeerd met Steven Meads geheel eigen euphoniumklank in het achterhoofd. Hij paste daarbij de diverse stijlen toe die de wereldberoemde virtuoos zich heeft eigen gemaakt tijdens zijn succesvollesolocarrière.Het plaatsje Mörschied ligt ten westen van Frankfurt am Main, in het gebied dat bekendstaat als de Deutsche Edelsteinstrasse. Het is beroemd vanwege zijn bloeiende edelstenenindustrie. Om het werk een lokaal tintje te geven is een toepasselijke titel gekozen: Diamond Concerto. Elk van de drie delen is genoemd naar een beroemde edelsteen:1 EARTH STARDit deel is tamelijk sober van sfeer. Het opent met een vrije fantasie van de solist over een statisch akkoord in het orkest. Dan volgt een allegro moderato in mineur, met kleine motieven die geleidelijk worden herhaald en uitgewerkt door zowel het orkest als de solist.2 OCEAN DREAMHierin wordt een citaat van Sparke’s werk Music for Battle Creek naar voren gebracht, met een vloeiende, langzame melodie die van oorsprong werd geschreven met het spel van Steven Mead in gedachten.3 BLUE HEARTNaar een suggestie van Steven Mead zelf is dit deel geschreven in bebopstijl. Het neemt de vorm aan van een jazzwals. De quasi-improvisatorische centrale passage omvat een vraag-en-antwoordspel voor de solist en het hoge hout.Solo: moeilijkheidsgraad 6Diamond Concertois eveneens verkrijgbaar voor euphonium en piano (AMP 374-401) en voor euphonium en brass band (AMP 354-030). Geschrieben für den Musikverein Mörschied, westlich von Frankfurt am Main an der Deutschen Edelsteinstraße gelegen, wurde jeder der drei Sätze von Diamond Concerto nach einem berühmten Diamanten benannt: 1 EARTH STAR ist eher stimmungstechnisch ein Stern. Der Satz beginnt mit einer freien Fantasie des Solisten über einem statischen Akkord des Orchesters. Dieses führt zu einem Allegro Moderato in Moll, in welchem kurze Motive von sowohl Orchester als auch Solist nach und nach wiederholt und entwickelt werden.2 OCEAN DREAM verwendet ein variiertes Zitat aus Music for Battle Creek von Philip Sparke, das ein schmelzende Melodie enthält, die schon im Gedanken an Stevengeschrieben worden war.3 BLUE HEART wurde auf Steven Meads Anregung hin im Bebop-Stil komponiert und weist die Form eines Jazz Waltz auf. Der quasi-improvisatorische Mittelteil enthält eine Passage im Call-and-Response-Muster, die sich zwischen Solist und den hohen Holzbläsern abspielt.Solist: Schwierigkeitsgrad 6Diamond Concerto ist für Euphonium und Klavier erhältlich (AMP 374-401) sowie für Euphonium und Brass Band (AMP 354-030). Diamond Concerto est une œuvre de commande de la formation allemande Musikverein Mörschied, dirigée par le Dr Eric Grandjean, pour un concert avec un invité spécial, le soliste Steven Mead. Ensemble, ils ont créé cette œuvre le 28 avril 2012 au thé tre de la ville d’Idar-Oberstein.Cette commande représente l’un des points culminants d’une amitié de trente années entre le compositeur et le soliste, leur relation ayant donné naissance de nombreux enregistrements et concerts et, maintenant, un concerto. Pendant la composition de cette œuvre, Sparke avait sans cesse l’esprit le son bien particulier de l’euphonium de Steven Mead, et il a employé librement lavariété de styles que ce virtuose mondialement connu a adoptés au cours de sa brillante carrière de soliste.Le village de Mörschied se trouve l’ouest de Francfort-sur-le-Main, dans la région surnommée Route allemande des pierres précieuses, célèbre pour son industrie de la joaillerie. C’est pourquoi le compositeur a décidé de saluer cette province en intitulant son œuvre Diamond Concerto. Les trois mouvements sont chacun nommés d’après un diamant célèbre :1 EARTH STARDe caractère plutôt sérieux, ce mouvement débute avec une fantaisie libre pour le soliste sur un accord statique de l’orchestre. Vient ensuite un Allegro Moderato en mode mineur où de courts motifs sont progressivement répétés et développés par l’orchestre et le soliste.2 OCEAN DREAML’on pourra entendre ici une variante d’un extrait de Music for Battle Creek, incluant une mélodie lente et émouvante, que le compositeur écrivit alors dans l’optique d’une future interprétation réalisée par Steven Mead.3 BLUE HEARTSuivant l’idée de Steven Mead, ce mouvement est écrit dans un style de be-bop et prend la forme d’une valse jazzy. La partie centrale, quasi-improvisée, comprend un passage d’appel et réponse entre le soliste et les bois.Soliste: Difficulté 6Diamond Concerto est aussi disponible pour euphonium et piano (AMP 374-401) et euphonium et brass.

A driving composition from Sean O'loughlin,?Commence!?begins with a spirited theme that oscillates between triple and duple meter. After developing into a heartfelt lush brass chorale, the lilting theme returns again. The composition concludes with a dramatic return of the B theme and a rousing finale. A beautiful piece,?Commence!?is a?strong choice for any contest or festival.
Commence! was commissioned by the Lynden High School Class 2017-2019 and the Lynden, WA Community, and is dedicated to Steve Herrick in celebration of his retirement. Mr. Herrick and I first collaborated on a commission in 2006, and I was immediately taken by the community and the music program in Lynden. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the country and full of musical inspiration at every turn.
This piece is a loving tribute to Mr. Herrick and his amazing contribution to the students of Lynden for over thirty years. The music begins with a spirited section oscillating between 6/8 and 2/4 time. It should maintain a pulsing feeling throughout. The main melody appears at m. 25 and has a lilting, reminiscing quality to it. After some further development, it moves to a B-section at m. 41 with some warm brass passages. The woodwinds should soar over the top with their counter line. The lower voices take over the melody at m. 59. The harmony becomes more discordant at m. 71 with passages trading between the brass and woodwinds.
This tension releases into a slow section that features a flowing, heartfelt melody. This builds to the big moment at m. 112. The timpani ushers us back to the 6/8, 2/4 section. The melody is now accompanied by some flowing counterpoint at m. 153 which leads to the B-section again at m. 169. This time the woodwinds take the lead and the brass provide the counter line. A final big moment at m. 194 is the culmination and high point of the composition. A brief fast section puts a bow on the piece for a rousing finale.
