White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band in Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece of intermediate difficulty that included the work “white” (Ms. Teramoto's lucky color) in the title. The composer used this suggestion to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, color and orchestration, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band; he was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. The piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. It opens with a chorale-like passage on flutes and clarinets; the soloist enters with a recitative over trilling clarinets. The main theme is then introduced, accompanied by the woodwinds. After a short bridge passage, a change of key heralds a second theme by the soloist, with gentle brass punctuations. This builds to a climax, ending on a high trill from the soloist. After short passage over a timpani roll, the band recalls the main theme, taken up once again by the soloist. This leads to a short cadenza before the closing bars bring the work peacefully to a close.

Composed in 1886 by the march king himself, this familiar bold march is sure to please. Retaining Sousa's original intent, the theme uncharacteristically incorporates light staccato notes in addition to full value quarter notes. A great teaching and performance choice! (2:00).

Program Notes Elephant is, of course, inspired by the incredible mammals of the same name. Their column-like legs, long trunks, and massive presence will never cease to amaze; however, it's their trumpeting that makes them stand out as the instrumentalists of the animal kingdom! In this selection, an elephant's slow gate and general demeanor are represented by a methodical tempo and lumbering texture. Woodwinds will enjoy the opportunity to perform grace notes while Elephant also offers exposure to flams for young percussionists. At m. 33 the trumpets and horns recreate an elephant call after slipping brown paper bags, or lunch-bag mutes, over their bells (in their bells for horn players). For the trumpet players, the mutes can be enhanced with an additional balled-up piece of paper placed at the bottom of the bag prior to slipping it over the bell. Horns should ball up the bag itself and experiment with placement to create the most realistic tones without stopping the instrument. While specific pitches are noted, making the best elephant sounds should prioritized. Young students always look forward to experimenting with mutes, and this selection offers an inexpensive and creative way to do so at a young age. Note to the Conductor This piece can be used to introduce or reinforce the finer points of staccato playing. While many students know to play these notes short in length, they may need reminding that they should also be played lightly. This also may allow for opportunities in emphasizing contrasting articulation styles that are in this piece. Younger students will likely need a reasonable amount of practice in successfully using the lunch-bag mutes. Allowing additional rehearsal time for this is recommended.Program Notes Elephant is, of course, inspired by the incredible mammals of the same name.

Factory Child is a protest song against child sweatshops. The piece depicts the factory life of children laboring many hours a day and manufacturing the shoes and clothes that end up in American retail stores. Young performers will find this thought-provoking piece an excellent way to use their musical voice to affect change.Factory Child is a protest song against child sweatshops. Written in memory of Mrs. Peterson, who loved children dearly, the piece depicts the factory life of children laboring 16+ hours a day, manufacturing the shoes and clothes that end up in American retail stores.Factory Child begins with factory sounds and an oppressive, repetitive pattern that supports the melody carried by the upper voices. The second section is composed of wistful, dream-like sounds and melodies that have traces of children’s songs that remind us that these children forced into labor would love to have the opportunity to play, attend school, and dream, but cannot and realistically have little hope for a life we consider normal. The middle section gives way to more sounds from the factory. The climax is a raucous circus-like waltz using themes from both sections.The percussion parts can be covered by six players. Some players will need to cover two parts. Use someone from the wind section if you do not have six, as some of the parts, although important, are not very difficult. The second clarinet never goes over the break and the bass line is usually doubled in the euphonium as well as in the low reeds.This piece is an excellent way for young performers to use their musical voice to affect change. It is a great discussion starter for researching where our apparel comes from and why to stay away from some brands. It can also make students aware of the fantastic opportunity they have to attend school that children in other parts of the world do not. Young students will find this piece very thought provoking.Ed Kiefer .

Inspired by the legend of a mythical ancient kingdom (in present day South Carolina), The Land Called Chicora is a programmatic work telling of the 16th century Spanish and French explorers in search of this treasured civilization. With descriptive scenes ranging from the majestic sailing ships along the coast, to the foreboding forests of the interior, to the impending treachery of the natives' threatened way of life, this impressive work is both magical and rewarding.

Notes The Teton Range is part of the Rocky Mountain chain just east of the Idaho border and south of Yellowstone National Park. The name of this majestic range has its roots in the Shoshone teewinet, meaning many pinnacles. Performance Suggestions: The opening measures of The Grand Tetons should be played broadly and majestically. At m. 14, the tempo is indicated at q = 132 and is introduced by a light snare drum figure. The low brass figures at m.18 are to be played softly and broadly in contrast to the lighter and slightly louder high woodwinds. This entire section builds to a climax at m.44. Note the dynamic contrasts in the mixed meter section after m. 53. at 67, the trombone and horn figures should be evident but not overbearing against the lightly played trumpet solo. The 2 measure mixed meter (6/8) (3/4) theme introduced at m.88 should be performed by exaggerating the dotted 8th-16th rhythm, thereby creating a slight swing and dance-like feeling. At m.109, the 8th notes become even and the theme more strident and energetic, with the ritard returning Tetons to the opening theme at m.129.Notes The Teton Range is part of the Rocky Mountain chain just east of the Idaho border and south of Yellowstone National Park.

Diamond Concerto was commissioned by Musikverein Morschied 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 ofMorschied 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 Morschied - met dirigent Eric Grandjean - voor een speciaal concert met Steven Mead als gastsolist. De wereldpremiere 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 succesvollesolocarriere.Het plaatsje Morschied 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 fur den Musikverein Morschied, westlich von Frankfurt am Main an der Deutschen Edelsteinstrasse gelegen, wurde jeder der drei Satze von Diamond Concerto nach einem beruhmten Diamanten benannt: 1 EARTH STAR ist eher stimmungstechnisch ein Stern. Der Satz beginnt mit einer freien Fantasie des Solisten uber einem statischen Akkord des Orchesters. Dieses fuhrt 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 enthalt, 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 enthalt eine Passage im Call-and-Response-Muster, die sich zwischen Solist und den hohen Holzblasern abspielt.Solist: Schwierigkeitsgrad 6Diamond Concerto ist fur Euphonium und Klavier erhaltlich (AMP 374-401) sowie fur Euphonium und Brass Band (AMP 354-030). Diamond Concerto est une œuvre de commande de la formation allemande Musikverein Morschied, dirigee par le Dr Eric Grandjean, pour un concert avec un invite special, le soliste Steven Mead. Ensemble, ils ont cree cette œuvre le 28 avril 2012 au theatre de la ville d'Idar-Oberstein.Cette commande represente l'un des points culminants d'une amitie de trente annees entre le compositeur et le soliste, leur relation ayant donne naissance a de nombreux enregistrements et concerts et, maintenant, a un concerto. Pendant la composition de cette œuvre, Sparke avait sans cesse a l'esprit le son bien particulier de l'euphonium de Steven Mead, et il a employe librement lavariete de styles que ce virtuose mondialement connu a adoptes au cours de sa brillante carriere de soliste.Le village de Morschied se trouve a l'ouest de Francfort-sur-le-Main, dans la region surnommee Route allemande des pierres precieuses, celebre pour son industrie de la joaillerie. C'est pourquoi le compositeur a decide de saluer cette province en intitulant son œuvre Diamond Concerto. Les trois mouvements sont chacun nommes d'apres un diamant celebre :1 EARTH STARDe caractere plutot serieux, ce mouvement debute avec une fantaisie libre pour le soliste sur un accord statique de l'orchestre. Vient ensuite un Allegro Moderato en mode mineur ou de courts motifs sont progressivement repetes et developpes 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 melodie lente et emouvante, que le compositeur ecrivit alors dans l'optique d'une future interpretation realisee par Steven Mead.3 BLUE HEARTSuivant l'idee de Steven Mead, ce mouvement est ecrit dans un style de be-bop et prend la forme d'une valse jazzy. La partie centrale, quasi-improvisee, comprend un passage d'appel et reponse entre le soliste et les bois.Soliste: Difficulte 6Diamond Concerto est aussi disponible pour euphonium et piano (AMP 374-401) et euphonium et brass.

The inspiration for this three-part work goes back to the International European Youth Wind Music Festival, of which the patron has been Jacob de Haan several times. It begins in a festive march tempo, then sacred music, instrumental groups playing offstage and a little march for brass and flutes. The third movement is a parade in which the various sections of the ensemble head towards the stage from different directions. Even without the effective choreography of the musicians, Call of the Valley is an impressive concert band composition. Duration: 5:15.

The commissioner of this work requested a piece that characterized humankind's ability to overcome personal tragedy, a scenario which often leaves one with a philosophy of serenity. The composer decided to use the analogy of the sequoia, a generic name for the huge redwood trees, particularly the Californian redwood. The remarkable life cycle of these amazing trees involves them dropping seeds to the ground which require heat to open their shells and germinate. The redwood forests are frequently subject to fires which can destroy the mother tree but ironically also provide the impetus for their seeds to spring into life; the trees actually need a disaster to procreate. In a similar way, the human spirit can actually gain from setbacks - we become stronger after adversity. The music falls into sections which can broadly be characterised as doubt, conflict, catharsis, inner calm and, finally, triumph.
