The piece reflects the composer's fascination with the origins of the universe and deep space in general. The title comes from a theory, formulated by Pythagoras, that the cosmos was ruled by the same laws he had discovered that govern the ratios of note frequencies of the musical scale. (‘Harmonia’ in Ancient Greek, which means scale or tuning rather than harmony - Greek music was monophonic). He also believed that these ratios corresponded to the distances of the six known planets from the sun and that the planets each produced a musical note which combined to weave a continuous heavenly melody (which, unfortunately, we humans cannot hear). In this work, these six notesform the basis of the sections MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and HARMONIA. The pieces opens with a horn solo called t = 0, a name given by some scientists to the moment of the Big Bang when time and space were created, and this is followed by a depiction of the BIG BANG itself, as the entire universe bursts out from a single point. A slower section follows called THE LONELY PLANET which is a meditation on the incredible and unlikely set of circumstances which led to the creation of the Earth as a planet that can support life, and the constant search for other civilisations elsewhere in the universe. ASTEROIDS AND SHOOTING STARS depicts both the benign and dangerous objects that are flying through space and which constantly threaten our planet, and the piece ends with THE UNKNOWN, leaving in question whether our continually expanding exploration of the universe will eventually lead to enlightenment or destruction. Dit werk weerspiegelt de fascinatie van de componist voor het heelal. Het begint met een hoornsolo met de naam t = 0, waarmee sommige wetenschappers de oerknal aanduiden. Dan volgt een weergave van de oerknal zelf. Het volgendegedeelte, The Lonely Planet, is een meditatie over het ongelooflijke samenspel van omstandigheden dat leidde tot het ontstaan van de Aarde. Asteroids and Shooting Stars beschrijft objecten in de ruimte. Het werkeindigt met The Unknown, waarmee we in het ongewisse blijven over de gevolgen van onze verdere verkenning van het universum. In 2005 won Philip Sparke met Music of the Spheres de National Band Association/William D.Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest.Dieses Werk handelt vom Weltall und unserem Platz im Universum, auf dem Weltbild von Pythagoras basierend. Am einfachsten lässt sich diese außergewöhnliche Komposition wohl als Filmmusik ähnliches Stück beschreiben ? Musik zu einem Science-Fiction-Film eines Ripley Scott oder Steven Spielberg oder auch Musik, wie sie ein John Williams oder Danny Elfman schreiben würde: absolut stimmungsvoll, brillant instrumentiert mit Klangfarben, Strukturen, Effekten und Timbres, gemischt mit fließenden musikalischen Linien, die die Substanz des Themas auf den Punkt treffen. Dieses atemberaubende neue Stück hebt Ihr Blasorchester auf ein höheres Niveau, sowohl im technischen als auchmusikalischen Sinn. La fresque Music of the Spheres (“La musique des sphèresâ€) souligne la fascination qu’éprouve le compositeur pour les origines de l’univers. L’orchestration est proche de la musique de film. Le climat musical est ample, sonore et contrasté. Music of the Spheres evidenza il fascino che le origini dell’universo esercitano su Philip Sparke. Il titolo proviene da una teoria del matematico greco Pitagora, secondo la quale il cosmo è retto dalle stesse leggi che governano i rapporti di frequenza tra le note della scala musicale. Questa composizione inizia con un assolo di corno chiamato t = 0, nozione che definisce il momento del big-bang. The Lonely Planet (Il pianeta solitario) è una meditazione sulle circostanze che hanno portato alla creazione della terra. Asteroids and Shooting Stars (Asteroidi e Stelle cadenti) descrive i molteplici oggetti che si muovono nello spazio e che rappresentano unrischio per il nostro pianeta. Le battute finali portano verso l’ignoto (The Unknown) sollevando una domanda la cui risposta resta in sospeso: la nostra continua avanzata nell’esplorazione dell’Universo porter un giorno alla scoperta o alla distruzione?

This action packed piece has a definite cinematic quality to it, and a title to match! Popular composer Sean O'Loughlin brings a wealth of musical sophistication to this contest/festival choice.Phantom’s Escape draws its title from a ski run at Mammoth mountain near Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Mountains. While skiing there, the name inspired me to create some original music with its roots in modern film scoring. The composition is in a traditional ABA form with contrasting sections. The music is both aggressive and passionate and provides some great teaching elements for the more mature string orchestra. At the beginning of the piece, the pulsing in the low voices sets the stage for the drama to come. I have always loved the pairing of eighth-note triplets and standard eighth notes in the same line. This is evident in the melodic element in the section starting at m. 7. Be sure not to rush the triplets here. A dramatic pulsing figure takes over at m. 21, then begins to deconstruct at m. 25.A mechanical-like rhythmic figure ensues at m. 31 to provide the accompaniment to the main melody in augmentation in the celli. The violas add some imitation to this at m. 39 that leads us to a more lyrical passage at m. 46. This lyricism continues to evolve at m. 51 with a multitude of inner counterpoint lines. The music pulls back at m. 59 to set up the big build-up into m. 73. The combination of eighth notes, eighth-note triplets and sixteenth notes creates some exciting textures leading into the passionate section at m. 73. The opening section returns at m. 86. This builds into the unison gesture at m. 120 to bring the music to a dramatic conclusion.

Glorioso was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, the ‘Siena Wind Orchestra’. The work opens after a short aleatoric intro, with an energetic and brassy ‘one tone fanfare’. The note F acts as an omnipresent note, and is also used as a bridge into the second, rather static movement. A noble sounding theme leads to an impressive climax, shortly followed by the spectacular and virtuoso finale, which is built on the musical elements that have been heard before. Stylistically, this sparkling finale is clearly influenced by Dmitri Shostakovich, hence the use of the famous signature used by the Russian Master: C D E flat B (or C flat). A glorious finish to a special workthat highlights various facets of the modern concert band. Glorioso werd geschreven in opdracht van en is opgedragen aan het Japanse Siena Wind Orchestra. Het werk opent na een korte aleatorische intro met een energieke ‘one tone fanfare’, waarin voornamelijk het koper aan zet is. De noot F, als een pedaaltoon alomtegenwoordig, blijft nog even klinken in het aansluitende langzame deel. Na een nobel thema volgt de spectaculaire en virtuoze finale, die voortbouwt op de muzikale componenten die al eerder te horen waren. Stilistisch is in deze wervelende finale onmiskenbaar de invloed van Dmitri Sjostakovitsj aanwezig, het hoofdmotief is tot C D Eb B (of Cb) getransformeerd: het anagram dat de Russische meester vaak als muzikalehandtekening heeft gebruikt. Een glorieus slot aan een bijzonder werk dat diverse facetten van het moderne harmonieorkest aan bod laat komen. Glorioso wurde vom Siena Wind Orchestra in Auftrag gegeben und ist diesem gewidmet. Das Werk beginnt nach einer kurzen, aleatorischen Einleitung mit einer schwungvollen Blechbläser-Fanfare auf nur einem Ton. Dabei ist der Ton F allgegenwärtig und leitet in den langsamen, eher statischen Satz über. Nachdem das nobel klingende Thema zu einem beeindruckenden Höhepunkt geführt hat, setzt sich das fantastische und virtuose Finale aus den zuvor erklungenen Elementen zusammen. Stilistisch ist dieses schwungvolle Finale deutlich von Dmitri Schostakowitsch beeinflusst, daher wird die berühmte musikalische Unterschrift des russischen Meisters verwendet, die dieser oftbenutzte: C D Es H (oder Ces). Ein eindrucksvolles Ende eines besonderen Werkes, das verschiedene Facetten des modernen Blasorchesters hervorhebt. Glorioso est une commande du, et dédicacée au ‘Siena Wind Orchestra’. L’œuvre commence après une courte introduction aléatoire qui comprend une fanfare énergique et cuivrée « sur une note », puisque la note fa est omniprésente et est utilisée comme pont dans le deuxième mouvement plutôt statique. Un thème noble mène vers une apogée impressionnante et le final spectaculaire et virtuose se compose d’éléments musicaux entendus plus tôt. Le style de ce final bouillonnant est évidemment influencé par Dmitri Chostakovitch, ce qui explique l’usage de sa célèbre signature fréquemment utilisée : do ré mi bémol si (ou do bémol). Une fin glorieuse d’uneœuvre spéciale qui met en scène les nombreuses facettes d’un orchestre d’harmonie moderne. Glorioso è stato commissionatodalla Siena Wind Orchestra, ed è a loro dedicato. Il lavoro si apre dopo una breve introduzione aleatoria, con una fanfara energica e dai suoni simili agli ottoni. La nota Fa agisce come una nota onnipresente, ed è anche usata come un ponte nel secondo movimento piuttosto statico. Un tema sonoro nobile porta ad un climax impressionante, seguito a breve distanza dal finale spettacolare e virtuoso, che è costruito sugli elementi musicali che sono stati ascoltati precedentemente. Stilisticamente, questo frizzante finale è chiaramente influenzato da Dmitri Shostakovich, da qui l'uso della famosa firma usata dal Maestro russo: Do Re Mib Si (oDob). Un finale glorioso per un'opera speciale che mette in risalto varie sfaccettature della banda moderna.

New Hampshire is part of the greater region of New England in the north-east of the United States. The introduction to this work is inspired on the nickname of New Hampshire, ‘The Granite State’, which refers to the extensive granite formations and stone quarries. We further explore this beautiful state through Market Square in Portsmouth, the nature park Franconia Notch, and the Kancamagus Highway. The work closes in a grand manner, with a bow to one of the most beautiful of all American states.New Hampshire maakt deel uit van de grotere regio New England in het noordoosten van de Verenigde Staten.

This is a sweeping new original composition in a subto Scottish style from popular composer Alan Lee Silva. Just another one of the pieces that always seem to flow effortlessly from his talented pen. This is an excellent piece for any contest or festival.This Scottish-flavored, uptempo piece in has a lilting, jubilant-feel throughout. Highland Celebration is built around two rhythmic subdivisions: two groups of three eighth notes per measure and three groups of two eighth notes per measure. Have the ensemble distinguish between the two subdivisions by tapping each one separately. Make an exercise of the rhythm in mm. 1–2 in Violin 1 to facilitate playing the different rhythms precisely: (1 2 3 - 4 5 6) and (1 2 - 3 4 - 5 6). Rehearsing four- to eightmeasure sections under tempo will aid in tightening these rhythms and solidifying pitch.The sections to concentrate on are: mm. 17–24 and mm. 33–40 to make sure that Violins I and II and Cello are playing together; mm. 33–40, to focus on the Violin 1 and Violin 2 unisons and couplings; and mm. 57–62, where the quarter-note subdivisions are emphasized. The piece is book-ended with the introduction material which always begins quietly and builds. The ensemble at m. 79 starts with tutti scalar figures and increases in intensity to the final accented measures at m. 83. Written in AABA form with a double bridge at m. 45, the overall feeling is dance-like and festive.

The Atlas Symphony for symphonic wind band is an impressive and subtle work, thematically complex, with a rich orchestration, but also great beauty. The composer was keen to draw a parallel between an atlas, where all the geographical maps of the world are collected in one book, and his score, which brings together all the facets of his musical style. Despite being written without any breaks, the symphony is structured around three main ideas. It is based upon a series of notes that will become the very essence of the piece, its building blocks. Like the works of composers of serial music, the series appears in different forms - melodic and harmonic, thematic or simply asan accompaniment. With its wealth of rhythms and contrapuntal power, this piece is a compelling concerto for orchestra. The Orchestre de la Police Nationale was the first to be attracted to this work and premiered it with excellence under the baton of composer Thierry Deleruyelle. Die Atlas Symphony für symphonisches Blasorchester ist ein eindrucksvolles, feinsinniges Werk, mit einer komplexen Thematik und einer reichhaltigen Orchestrierung, aber dennoch anmutig. Der Komponist beabsichtigte, eine Parallele zwischen einem Atlas, der geografische Karten der ganzen Welt enthält, und seiner Partitur zu ziehen, die alle Facetten seines persönlichen Musikstils enthält. Obwohl sie ohne Unterbrechung geschrieben ist, ist diese Symphonie doch auf drei Hauptachsen aufgebaut. Sie basiert auf einer Reihe von Noten, welche die Quintessenz, das Material des gesamten Stückes bilden. Wie bei den Komponisten serieller Musik tritt diese Reihe in verschiedenenGestalten auf - melodisch oder harmonisch, thematisch oder einfach als Begleitung. Mit seinem Reichtum an Rhythmen und der kontrapunktischen Brillanz ist die Atlas Symphony ein wahrhaftes Konzert für Orchester. Das Orchestre de la Police Nationale (Frankreich) war das erste Orchester, das sich von diesem Werk verführen ließ und spielte eine brillante Uraufführung unter der Leitung des Komponisten Thierry Deleruyelle. La Symphonie Atlas pour grand orchestre d’harmonie est une œuvre imposante et subtile, l’orchestration riche et la thématique complexe mais néanmoins gracieuse. Le compositeur a tenu faire un parallèle entre l’Atlas, ce livre où toutes les cartes géographiques du monde sont répertoriées et sa partition, qui possède toutes les caractéristiques de son style musical. Volontairement écrite d’un seul tenant, elle s’articule néanmoins en trois axes. Sa construction est basée sur une série de notes qui deviendront l’essence même de la pièce, son matériau. Tel le travail des compositeurs de musique sérielle, « la série » apparaitra sous différentes formes, mélodiqueet harmonique, thématique ou simplement d’accompagnement. Sa richesse rythmique et son pouvoir contrapuntique fait de cette pièce un véritable concerto pour orchestre. C’est l’Orchestre de la Police Nationale qui a le premier été séduit par l’œuvre et qui en a fait la brillante création sous la direction du compositeur Thierry Deleruyelle. Atlas Symphony è un brano grandioso, di enorme bellezza, pieno di sfumature, tematicamente complesso, con una ricca orchestrazione. La sinfonia è scritta senza interruzioni e basata su una serie di note che vengono proposte nella melodia, nell’armonia e nel tema. La ricchezza di ritmi e la brillantezza dei contrappunti, fanno di Atlas Symphony un brano da concerto perfetto.
