Second to None is a perfectly suitable title for this work, though it actually refers to “Nulli Secundusâ€, the motto of the British Corps of Army Music, who gave the commission to Philip Sparke. The piece opens with a fanfare, followed by two short quotes from two of the Corp’s own marches and a festive Vivace. A more legato central section creates a nice contrast before the work closes with the opening fanfare. A perfect affair! De titel Second to None past heel goed bij dit werk, maar verwijst eigenlijk naar ‘Nulli Secundus’, het motto van British Army Corps of Music, het orkest dat Philip Sparke de opdracht voor dit werk gaf. Second to None opent met een fanfare. Daarna volgen twee korte citaten uit twee van de eigen marsen van het orkest en een feestelijke Vivace. Een meer legato deel creëert een mooi contrast voordat het werk wordt afgesloten met de openingsfanfare. Van begin tot einde prachtig!Second to None (Unübertroffen“) wurde zum 20-jährigen Jubiläum der britischen Armee komponiert. Das feierliche Werk honoriert die musikalische Tradition des Corps, indem es auf einige seiner eigenen berühmten Märsche, wie beispielsweise The Corps of Army Music Slow March (Greg Machin) und The Music Makers (Ian Mitchell), anspielt. Second to None kann auch in einer kürzeren Fassung gespielt werden und ist ein ideales Eröffnungsstück für jedes festliche Konzert.Second to None est un titre qui convient parfaitement ce morceau, même s’il fait en fait référence « Nulli Secundus », la devise du British Corps of Army Music, l'orchestre qui a fait la commande auprès de Philip Sparke.

Une section plus legato crée un beau contraste avant la fin où la fanfare du début est répétée. Parfait !Second to None was composed for the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the British Army Corps. Paying tribute to the musical tradition of the Corps, this celebratory work refers to some of its own famous marches like The Corps of ArmyMusic Slow March (Greg Machin) and The Music Makers (Ian Mitchell).

Debussy's friendship with the versatile poet and playwright Gabriel Mourey began in 1899, and in July 1907 Mourey offered Debussy a libretto based on Le roman de Tristan - Joseph Bedier's adaptation of a twelfth-century Breton romance by the Anglo-Norman poet known as Thomas - which had recently been published in Paris. Debussy enthusiastically outlined the four-act plot to Victor Segalen that October, and the main differences from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde are that none of the action takes place in Cornwall and that Isolde of the White Hands is found guilty of cuckolding King Marc with Tristan, who has to rescue her from the leper colony in which she is abandoned in Act 1. She also betrays him when he goes mad at the end.The idea of a Tristan that restored its 'legendary character' and had no connections with Wagner, appealed to Debussy, who was extremely moved by the circumstances of Tristan's death. Even if he thought that Mourey's poetry was 'not very lyrical and many passages do not exactly invite music', he did work on the libretto and the music that summer and sent his publisher, Jacques Durand, 'one of the 363 themes for the Roman de Tristan' in a letter sent from Pourville on 23 August, 1907. The present prelude grows from this theme, together with the poignant Breton folksong Le Faucon. After a short atmospheric introduction, Debussy's dance-like theme (which is definitely not a leitmotif) gradually gains momentum and after it reaches its ecstatic climax, representing the transient happiness of the lovers, it dissolves into an expressive coda and an elegiac close (all growing from Debussy's opening, off-stage trumpet calls), leaving us with the ultimate tragedy of their ill-fated affair.Unfortunately, Mourey's actual libretto has been lost and the project eventually foundered because Bedier's cousin, Louis Artus, wanted Debussy to use the scenario he had prepared and copyrighted for the stage, and would not allow him to proceed with Mourey's version. Debussy, it need hardly be said, would never have dreamed of collaborating with the author of the vaudeville hit La culotte (The pants)!

Parfait !Second to None (Secondo a nessuno) è un titolo perfetto per questo lavoro, anche se in realt si riferisce a “Nulli Secundusâ€, il motto del British Corps of Army Music, che lo ha commissionato a Philip Sparke. Il brano si apre con una fanfara, seguita da due brevi citazioni, prese da due delle marce del Corpo e da un gioioso Vivace. Una sezione centrale, che da più spazio al legato, crea un piacevole contrasto con la fanfara iniziale prima della chiusura del brano. Un connubio perfetto!
