Philip Sparke a composé cette pièce pour le Western Plains Wind Consortium placé sous la direction de son fondateur Daniel Baldwin. La création fut assurée par l?Orchestre d?Harmonie de l?Université d?État de l?Oklahoma Panhandle (Dr. Matthew C. Saunders direction) le 1er décembre 2009 au Centennial Theatre à Goodwell en Oklahama (États-Unis). Les orchestres membres du Western Plains Wind Consortium qui ont contribué à la commande de cette œuvre sont :Garden City High School Symphonic Band - Ryan Elliot & Daniel Baldwin directionSouthwestern Oklahoma State University Wind Ensemble - James South directionPanhandle State University Band - Matthew Saunders direction Holton High School Band - Donald McDaniel directionHolcomb High School Band - Paul White directionBethel College Band - Timothy Shade directionGarden City Community College Band - Daniel Baldwin directionLa commande stipulait que l?œuvre devait synthétiser une ambiance hivernale sans référence au cycle de la Nativité. Philip Sparke a réalisé une scène d?hiver en pleine campagne. A Winter?s Tale s?ouvre avec une série d?accords soutenus joués par les bois et colorés par le timbre cristallin des cloches tandis qu?un saxophone alto chante une complainte crépusculaire. Un passage orchestral court mais dense prélude à l?exposition du thème principal. Les couleurs douces et vaporeuses enveloppent les champs et les forêts enneigés. L?orchestre reprend le thème tandis que l?on entend au loin un tintement de grelots annonçant le passage imminent d?une troïka. Une fois passée la musique s?apaise et le thème principal revient avant de laisser la place au motif d?ouverture qui vient conclure la trame musicale.

Par CURNOW JAMES. What a wonderful idea! Make beautiful music such as this available at the Grade 1 level! Even young bands love to play enchantingly beautiful melodies. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort in helping your students learn to play full value notes, breathe in appropriate places, and stretch out their phrases so that they sound more mature and less like beginners. In the Bleak Mid-Winter by Holst is a perfect opportunity for them to truly realise the value of these things you’ve been teaching. Your musicians will come away from the experience of preparing this piece with a better understanding of how to shape a melodic phrase and play with warm, reserved elegance. / Niveau : 1 / Répertoire / Concert Band

Ce célèbre chant de Noël anglo-saxon (dont la mélodie est également connue sous le nom d?Humility) a été composé en 1771 par John Goss (1800-1880) sur un texte d?Edward Caswall (1841-1878). John Goss est né à Fareham dans le Comté du Hampshire en Angleterre. En 1811 il est admis comme choriste à la Chapelle Royale où il étudie auprès de John Stafford Smith et de Thomas Attwood organiste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres. En 1824 il est nommé organiste à l?église Saint-Luc de Chelsea. À la mort de Thomas Attwood en 1838 John Goss lui succède comme organiste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul. Il compose de nombreux motets et odes pour divers services religieuxexceptionnels célébrés en la cathédrale. En 1872 il quitte son poste à Saint-Paul et est fait chevalier par la reine Victoria. Parallèlement à ses fonctions d?organiste à l?église Saint-Luc et à la cathédrale Saint-Paul John Goss a enseigné l?harmonie à l?Académie Royale de Musique de Londres pendant quarante-sept ans. Parmi ses nombreuses odes encore chantées on peut citer Infant Holy Infant Lowly Praise My Soul et See Amid the Winter's Snow.
