Composed by Philip Sparke. Elite Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2005. 68 pages. Anglo Music Press #AMP 028-140. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-028-140).

English-German-French-Dutch.

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 sphères”) 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?

Enjoy this powerful minor-key march with your young band. It’s a great opportunity for the beginning group to experience playing a concert-style march with big, bold themes. Scored so that even a relatively small group can sound solid and impressive, the dynamics and articulations give you plenty to teach while the ranges and rhythms stay well within manageable limits for all players. Your students will love playing Thunderbolt Peak March. Electrifying!

Mit dem Thunderbolt Peak March bekommen Jugendblasorchester schon früh die Möglichkeit, einen imposanten Marsch im Konzertstil mit breit angelegten Themen zu spielen. Dieser kraftvolle Marsch in Moll klingt auch schon in kleinerer Besetzung gut, was oft unvollständig besetzten jungen Ensembles sehr entgegen kommen wird. Leicht, aber eindrucksvoll!

l’est de la Californie s’élève la Sierra Nevada. Coiffée de neige, la cime du Mont Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt Peak) se dresse, spectaculaire, au beau milieu de cette chaîne montagneuse. Cette marche imposante aux thèmes amples décrit, dans un mode mineur, la dangereuse beauté du décor. Une œuvre efficace même si l’on dispose d’une formation incomplète.

The Puckish Poltergeist, a programmatic work based on the pranks of a devious poltergeist, contrasts the terrifying and the comical. Through the use of rapid meter changes, simultaneous duple and triple rhythmic patterns, and contrasting textural scoring, the composer vividly conjures to mind frightened castle dwellers as they run from varied assortments of flying furniture and kitchen utensils, and the slightly bent puck, as he plays his little 'pranks.' Composed in the spring of 1991, The Pucking Poltergeist was premiered in Chicago at the 45th Mid-West International Band and Orchestra Clinic by the VanderCook College of Music Symphonic Band under the direction of Roger Rocco. It subsequently received a performance by the United States Military Band at West Point Acadamy. In February of 1993, it was featured as one of five works selected for the Symposium XVII for New Band Music at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

This pepperoni special is probably the first piece yet written calling for molto mozzarella. It combines Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours with pizzicato Polka. If you were unsure of your Italian condiments, this is the work on which to learn. It is rumored to be Ravi Oli's only contribution to the (hors d') oeuvre. Delicious

This splendidly instrumented work successfully combines 20th-century musical language with the antique elements deriving from its theme - for example, in the first movement we immediately find an ancient Greek asymmetrical rhythm. The second movement takes us on an adventurous journey to those astonishing geological wonders, the Meteoras the third movement presents a picture of the Delphic dancers, in its title the fourth movement indicates the form used in it, which preserves the unity between the thousands-of-years-old building and its contrasting environment, echoing to the music of the bouzouki. In the suite the composer expertly exploits the possibilities of instrumentationoffered by the wind orchestra, this extremely effective work can be a rewarding concert piece for any ensemble. (Recorded by Mirasound on CD 'Salute from Hungary' wwm 500.009 for World Wind Music label - www.worldwindmusic.nl ).

Dieses Werk von István Bogár ist eines der ungarischen Stücke für Blasorchester, welches in den letzten Jahrzehnten international einen großen Erfolg erntete. Es entstand im Auftrag des Ungarischen Rundfunks, seine Erstaufführung fand 1982 statt. Das grossartig instrumentierte Werk vereint erfolgreich die musikalische Sprache des 20. Jahrhunderts mit den vom Thema vorgegebenen, antiken Elementen. Ein Beispiel hierzu ist gleich im ersten Satz ‚Thessaloniki' ein altgriechischer, asymmetrischer Rhythmus. Der zweite Satz führt uns zu einem verblüffenden geologischen Wunder, den Meteoren, im dritten Satz wird das Bild der Delphi-Tänzer gezeichnet. Im vierten Teil (‚Athen') wird diegebrauchte Form schon im Titel angekündigt: Diese verewigt die kontrastierende Einheit der mehrere Jahrtausend alten Akropolis und ihr von Bouzouki-Musik lautes Umfeld (‚Plaka'). Der Komponist nutzt in der Suite die vom Blasorchester vermittelten Instrumentierungsmöglichkeiten meisterhaft aus.

Thessaloniki (danse de Macédoine) • Meteora • Delphi (danse antique) • Athènes (Acropolis, le quartier Plaka) En composant son oeuvre Hellas, le compositeur hongrois, István Bogár, a renoué avec ses racines grecques. La superbe trame orchestrale combine le langage musical du XXe siècle avec des éléments de la musique grecque antique. Les quatre mouvements sont techniquement exigeants et exploitent toutes les possibilités d’une formation vent. Une oeuvre enrichissante !

Un brano dalla splendida strumentazione, composto anche per ricordare le origini in parte greche del compositore, che abbina al linguaggio musicale del XX° secolo elementi antichi. I quattro movimenti Thessaloniki (Danza proveniente dalla Macedonia), Meteora, Delphi (Antica danza) e Athens compongono insieme un brano da concerto esigente ma allo stesso tempo molto gratificante.

Four unforgettable disco songs come together in one stunning medley. Up fi rst is the 1979 dance floor hit I’m in the Mood for Dancing by The Nolans. Next the medley quiets down with a charming love song, Lovin’ You, a song Minnie Riperton dedicated to her daughter. You Can’t Hurry Love was a huge success for The Supremes in 1966 and Phil Collins repeated their success in 1983 making the song immortal. This exciting medley ends with Olivia Newton-John’s hit-song Xanadu, from her 1980 musical of the same name.

Vier disco-evergreens in één medley voor harmonieorkest. Het begint gelijk al goed! I’m in the Mood for Dancing van de gezusters Nolans uit 1979. In alle windstreken kregen zij met dit nummer mensen de dansvloer op. Hiernavolgt de betoverende lovesong Lovin’ You. Minnie Riperton droeg het in 1975 op aan haar toen tweejarige dochtertje. You Can’t Hurry Love was zowel voor de Supremes in 1966 als voor Phil Collins een geweldige hit. Xanaduvan Olivia Newton-John uit de gelijknamige musical van 1980 besluit deze boeiende medley van Naohiro Iwai. Dat wordt swingen!

Vier Evergreens aus der Disco-Ära in einem Blasorchester-Medley: Den Anfang macht I’m in the Mood for Dancing, mit dem die Geschwister- Combo The Nolans 1979 auf vier Kontinenten die Menschen auf die Tanzflächen jagte. Danach folgt als Ruhepunkt das bezaubernde Liebeslied Lovin’ You, das Minnie Riperton 1975 ihrer kleinen Tochter widmete. You Can’t Hurry Love war in der Originalversion von 1966 für die Supremes ein Riesenhit - Phil Collins wiederholte diesen Erfolg 1983 und machte den Song unsterblich. Den Abschluss von Naohiro Iwais mitreißendem Medley bildet Olivia Newton-Johns Hit Xanadu aus dem gleichnamigen Musical von 1980.

Ce medley tonique, signé Naohiro Iwai, réunit quatre standards des années disco. I’m in the Mood for Dancing, des sœurs Nolan (The Nolans Sisters), ouvre la série. Sortie en 1979, cette chanson a fait bouger des générations de danseurs. La musique s’apaise sur les notes délicieuses de la ballade Lovin’ You, que Minnie Ripperton dédia sa fille. Au cours de l’été 1966, The Supremes connaissent la gloire, avec la version originale du titre You Can’t Hurry Love. En 1983, Phil Collins renouvelle le succès des Supremes et rend la chanson immortelle. Pour clore son medley, Naohiro Iwai a choisi Xanadu (1980), la chanson phare de la comédiemusicale éponyme, qui prolongea le succès d'Olivia Newton-John.

Questo medley racchiude quattro standard degli anni della musica disco: I’m in the Mood for Dancing delle Nolan Sisters anticipa le deliziose note della ballata Lovin’ You di Minnie Ripperton. Nel 1966, The Supremes conoscono la gloria con la versione originale di Can’t Hurry Love. Nel 1983, Phil Collins replica il successo dei Supremes e rende la canzone immortale. Per concludere il suo medley, Naohiro Iwai ha scelto Xanadu (1980) la canzone della commedia musicale interpretata da Olivia Newton John.

The special occasion that Philip Sparke was honoured to write this piece for was the 200th anniversary of the Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen. Since Bad Säckingen is known as the ’Trompeterstadt’, or trumpeter city, Sparke’s creative process was influenced by Joseph Victor Scheffel’s poem, Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter from Säckingen), which is based on a true story. The overture starts with a majestic fanfare, followed by a lively molto vivace. It is joined by a brilliant trumpet call in honour of the city’s famous resident.

Overture for a Special Occasion is geschreven in opdracht van Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen ter gelegenheid van het tweehonderdjarig bestaan van het orkest, in 2011. De première van het werk vond plaats in januari van dat jaar,onder leiding van Johannes Brenke, de dirigent van het orkest. Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen, uit de gelijknamige plaats in het zuidwesten van Duitsland, werd opgericht in 1811 en is daarmee een van de oudste blaasorkesten in de regio.Het stadje Bad Säckingen (Bad betekent badplaats) staat bekend als ‘Trompeterstadt’ en kan bogen op een trompetmuseum, dat in 1985 de deuren opende. Voormalig directeur van het museum was de bekende Amerikaanse trompettist en musicoloogEdward H. Tarr. De huidige directeur is Johannes Brenke, tevens de dirigent van het orkest. De nauwe band die het stadje heeft met de trompet dateert van halverwege de 19e eeuw, toen de schilder en schrijver Joseph Victorvon Scheffel het populaire epische gedicht Der Trompeter von Säckingen schreef. Het was gebaseerd op een waar verhaal en het gaf de naam van de plaats bekendheid over de hele wereld. Op het plein voor de kloosterkerk staateen standbeeld van Scheffel en zijn trompetspeler. Overture for a Special Occasion is feestelijk van sfeer. Het werk opent met een plechtige fanfare, die de luisteraar meevoert naar een vreugdevol molto vivace. Als verbindingtussen beide gedeelten dient een enigmatisch trompetgeschal: een eerbetoon aan de beroemdste inwoner van het stadje.

Der spezielle Anlass“, zu dem Philip Sparke die Ehre hatte, dieses Stück zu schreiben, war das 200-jährige Jubiläum der Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen. Da Bad Säckingen weithin als die Trompeterstadt“ bekannt ist, knüpfte Sparke an das berühmte Gedicht Der Trompeter von Säckingen von Joseph Victor Scheffel an, das auf eine wahre Geschichte zurückgeht. Die Ouvertüre beginnt mit einer majestätischen Fanfare, welche zu einem festlichen Molto vivace führt. Dazu gesellt sich dann ein strahlendes Trompetensignal zu Ehren des berühmtesten Sohnes der Stadt.

Overture for a Special Occasion est une commande de l’Orchestre d’Harmonie Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen pour la commémoration de son bicentenaire, en 2011. De caractère festif, Overture for a Special Occasion débute avec une fanfare grandiose. Puis se développe un énigmatique appel de trompette, qui rend hommage au plus célèbre habitant de la ville. Un molto vivace d’une texture joyeuse et colorée apporte un pétillant finale cette ouverture écrite pour une occasion spéciale !

Overture for a Special Occasion wè un brano commissionato dal Corpo Bandistico della Citt di Bad Säckingen in Germania nel 2011 in occasione del suo bicentenario. Nota per le sue terme, questa ridente cittadina tedesca ha anche un secondo nome: “Trompeterstadt” (citt del “trombettista”). La stretta associazione della citt alla tromba risale al XIX secolo quando uno dei suoi illustri abitanti, Joseph Victor von Scheffel, scrittore e romanziere, scrisse un poema divenuto molto popolare, Il trombettista di Säckingen. Di carattere festivo, questo brano inizia con una grandiosa fanfara, seguita da un brillante richiamo di tromba. Un molto vivace gioioso e coloritoregala a questa ouverture uno spumeggiante finale, tutto nel segno di una ricorrenza molto speciale!
