Eb Horn Solo. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Aria was commissioned by and written for the remarkable tenor horn player, Sheona White. The work opens with an accompanied recitative, which leads to a change of key where the main melody is presented. This, in turn, serves as an introduction to another melodic idea, marked calmato. The band takes up this theme and then takes centre stage with a passionate repeat of the main theme, which is completed by the soloist. A cornet then plays the calmato theme against which the soloist plays a counter melody. This leads to a return of the opening recitative which brings the work to a peaceful close. A fantastic new addition to the solo repertoire for this much neglected soloinstrument. Aria was commissioned by and written for the remarkable Tenor Horn player, Sheona White.

from Hymn of the Highlands - Euphonium Solo. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Hymn of the Highlands (“Hymne des Highlands”) est une suite en sept mouvements composée à la demande du Yorkshire Building Society Band et de son directeur David King. Le mouvement intitulé Summer Isles (du nom d’un ensemble d’îles situées au large des côtes nord-ouest de l’Écosse) est un superbe solo pour euphonium, aérien et fluide, qui célèbre la beauté sauvage de ces îles réputées pour la richesse de la faune et de la flore. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Baryton ou Tuba et Brass Band

Euphonium Solo. Par SPARKE PHILIP. A Final Fling was written at the request of David Childs for a CD recording with a Celtic theme, which he released in 2007. The phrase ‘a final fling’ means a last quick effort at doing something, perhaps when this item is used as an encore, and also, a fling is a type of Scottish Highland dance, which tied in with the Celtic theme. A light- hearted piece, A Final Fling starts in the mood of a folk dance and quotes from The Irish Washerwoman before flying to a close. A perfect way to put your euphonium player in the spotlight. / Niveau : 4 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Baryton ou Tuba et Brass Band
