David Well composed 'Frida's Whiskers' in commemoration of his own cat who met an untimely end. Frida (whose real name was 'Godefrida van Coopersburg thoe Nieuwenhuys') was a lively creature who led a playful and uncomplicated life. She used to sleep in her basket for hours but when she woke up she upset the entire house and its furnishing. Curtains were inspected from top to bottom and flower pots fell from window-sills just like that! Outside in the open air she was in her element. She used to frolic bouncing into the air. After such playful moods she would return to her basket tired but satisfied where being the cleanly cat that shewas she subjected her entire body whiskers included to a thorough wash.

for Eb Horn and Brass Band-Sunday in the Park was written for tenor horn virtuoso Sheona White and commissioned by her partner Matt Wade as a Christmas present.Composer Philip Sparke had known and admired Sheona’s playing for many years having produced her first solo CD and written pieces for her previously.Both composer and performer are huge fans of the late Karen Carpenter Sheona in part modelling her sound on the singer’s sultry voice; so it was decided that this new solo would be a piece which whilst not being a ‘Carpenters’ pastiche paid tribute to their relaxed style and rich harmonic language. Sunday in the Park openswith an accompanied cadenza for the soloist which leads to a gentle rhythmic melody with a laid-back feel. This is taken up by the band but the soloist sparks a change of mood by introducing a faster light rock interlude. This reaches a climax at which point the music unwinds until the original mood returns.A variation on the original melody leads to a short cadenza from the soloist which brings the work to a peaceful close.

A brief history: Pentecost Monday was a special day for schools in Yorkshire (England). There were a variety of activities. The pupils of Sabine Baring-Gould would meet with the children of a nearby village. It seemed like a good idea that during the walk would be sung. But she could not find a suitable song and decided to write one by herself. 'Onward Christian Soldiers' was the result. It soon became very popular though she herself was not entirely satisfied with the rhyme scheme. The melody used (St. Gertrude) was by the famous English composer Sir Arthur S. Sullivan. Back to now: Gawan Roberts has given the hymn a proper update. He gave the still popularsong a solid rock beat and added daring harmonies. So it's popular for current generations again for years. Onward!

One was convicted and executed while the other was released. The spirit of the executed soldier would arrive in Scotland via the 'low road' (underworld) before his companion who had still a long way to go.

for Eb Horn and Brass Band-Sunday in the Park (Un Dimanche au Parc) a été écrite pour Sheona White virtuose du saxhorn alto et commandée par son partenaire Matt Wade comme cadeau de Noël. Le compositeur Philip Sparke connaissant et admirant Sheona depuislongtemps avait précédemment produit son premier CD en solo et écrit des pièces pour elle. La saxhorniste tout comme le compositeur est une fan inconditionnelle de Karen Carpenter modelant en partie ses sonorités sur la voix voluptueuse de lachanteuse. Il fut donc décidé que ce nouveau solo serait une pièce qui sans être un pastiche des Carpenters rendrait hommage à leur style décontracté et leur riche langage harmonique. Sunday in the Park débute avec une cadence accompagnéepour la soliste suivie d?une mélodie délicatement rythmique et détendue. Cette mélodie est reprise par l?ensemble mais la soliste engendre un changement de climat avec l?introduction d?un interlude plus rapide de style rock. La musique atteint sonpoint culminant puis s?apaise pour revenir au climat du début. Une variation sur la mélodie d?origine mène à une courte cadence de la soliste qui conduit la pièce à une conclusion tranquille.
