for Brass Quintet and Organ (ad lib.)-L?hymne chrétienne Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] est également connue sous le nom de Prosa In Nativitáte Dómini ou encore Cantique portugais (parce qu?il fut chanté dans la chapelle de l'ambassade du Portugal à Londres). Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle Adeste Fideles est chanté après la bénédiction de Noël dans de nombreuses églises françaises et anglaises. Le texte invite tous les croyants à se rendre à Bethléem pour adorer le Sauveur nouveau-né.L?origine du cantique reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D?aucuns soutiennent qu?il s?agit d?un noël ancien inspiré d?une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que SaintFrançois d?Assise s?en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D?autres attribuent son origine à Saint Bonaventure un prêtre franciscain contemporain de Saint François qui en aurait composé le texte original en latin au XIIIe siècle. Enfin certains historiens affirment qu?Adeste Fideles aurait été écrit par un poète anonyme français sous le règne de Louis XIV.Quoiqu?il en soit il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l?Anglais John Francis Wade (vers 1710-1786) alors qu?il travaillait en tant que chercheur et copiste à Douai en France. La première version imprimée du cantique date des années 1740. Elle fut ensuite intégrée au recueil Cantus Diversipublié en 1751.Catholique laïc John Francis Wade fuit l?Angleterre en proie à des persécutions religieuses. Vers 1731 il copiait des manuscrits de plain-chant au Collège dominicain de Borhem en Flandre. Plus tard il s?installa à Douai dans le Nord de la France forteresse de la foi catholique où le roi d'Espagne Philippe II avait fondé une université en 1559. Wade gagnait sa vie « en copiant et vendant des manuscrits de plain-chant et d?autres œuvres ». Il fut également professeur de latin et de musique sacrée. La notice nécrologique mentionnait l?excellence de son travail de copiste qu?il réalisa pour des chapelles locales ou des

Concerto for Brass Band-Perihelion was commissioned by the Cory Band as their own-choice piece for the 2013 European Brass Band Championships held in Oslo Norway. Winning the set piece section of the contest and coming second to Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag with their own choice selection Cory went on to become European Champions for the fifth time.Cory MD Philip Harper had asked for a ‘Concerto for Band’ to fully exploit his outstanding band of virtuosi and composer Philip Sparke created a one-movement work with contiguous sections first featuring horns and flugel then trombones followed by cornets and a slower central section for percussion and baritones euphonium andbasses.The piece is abstract in nature without a specific programme and the title merely reflects the fact that the piece was begun on January 2nd 2013 the day of Earth’s perihelion - the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun. It could also be argued that the piece weaves between moments of brilliant optimism and dark shadow both of which can be the result of bright sunshine.

Opening Showpiece-Entry of the Celts is a delightful light concert opener. As its title implies this work features Celtic-inspired music. All the instruments in the band are given the opportunity to display their most beautiful sound colours: from the bass section to the cornets via the tenor horns euphoniums/baritones and trombones. Each section plays a solo passage accompanied by percussion instruments. The solo for soprano cornet leads to a sparkling and impressive finale. A wonderful Celtic work that will enchant and delight your audiences.

Bellum et Pax is a composition describing the two ancient concepts of ‘war’ and ‘peace.’ While this piece appears to be one single movement it consists of four sections that flow into one another. Mysterious and threatening tones lead the way into an epic battle between the chaos of war and enlightenment of peace. Peace triumphs but menacing bass notes at the end symbolize the constant presence and threat of war and violence in the world.

‘Mixed Bag’ stands midway between a collection and a hotchpotch. It is a colourful compilation of four completely different pieces each with its own specific character. The first part is called ‘Tanguillo’ : as its name suggests this Spanish dance is related to the Tango. In the next part ‘Maybe next time ....’ a repeated bass line (Passacaglia) can be heard first solo but thereafter gradually the other instruments join in. The third part forms a huge contrast – did the former part have a Baroque atmosphere ‘Rock Hard’ seems to have come directly from the Rock ‘n Roll era reminding us of stars such as Bill Haley and Elvis Presley. The finale is acheerful inciting movement called ‘Gypsy Dance’.

Cette oeuvre comprend différentes parties courtes qui comme le titre laisse supposer garnissent d?une manière frivole le m?me thème. Cette composition s?adresse surtout aux sections basses et a également une fonction didactique. Aussi très adapté pour des orchestres de jeunesses.
