These four entertaining movements originated in the Thirties. They are an example of popular original compositions of high quality. The work was originally written for small orchestra. Norbert Studnitzky has arranged this series of dances for wind band and at the same time also retained longer chamber music pasages as in the original work.Thus here we have a work for wind band which on the one hand is suitable for developing a musical sense of humour in a playful way and which can also be performed on stage with a group of folk dancers.Ottmar Gerster studied in Frankfurt/main and then taught composition an several colleges of music in Leipzig. his music aims to be accesible to all listeners, even when he uses advanced composition techniques.(2 Floten, 1 Oboe ad lib., 1 Fagott ad lib., 1 Klarinette in Es ad lib., 3 Klarinetten in B, 2 Alt-Saxophone in Es, 1 Tenor-Saxophon in B, 3 Horner in F, 3 Trompeten in B, 3 Posaunen, 2 Flugelhorner in B, 3 Tenorhorner in B, 1 Bariton, 2 Tuben, Pauken, Schlagzeug: kleine Trommel, grosse Trommel, Triangel, Becken).

Kentish Dances was commissioned by the Bromley Youth Music Trust for the Bromley Youth Concert Band - Michael Purton, conductor. Bromley is in Kent, the most southeasterly of all the English counties. Kent has a rich folk history and, like many parts of the country, its own home-grown dance tunes. What has become known in England as “country dancing†became popular during the Elizabethan period amongst the middle and upper classes, who preferred the style to the more formal galliards and pavans of the royal court. This suite is based on three dance tunes that originated in Kent; the first is a sort of moto perpetuo based on two lively 6/8 tunes, “Dover Castle†and “The Fair Maid of Wickham.†The middle movement uses the rather sombre “Blackheath,†contrasting it with the charming and apt “Bromley Bells.†The finale uses the sprightly “We Are All Right at Canterbury and Ramsgate Pier,†using the lilting “Northdown Waltz†as a lyrical contrast.

Kentish Dances is een suite op basis van dansen uit het Engelse graafschap Kent. Dit graafschap heeft zijn eigen dansmelodieën, wat in Engeland bekend is geworden als ‘country dancing’. Deze danswijsjes waren de bron van ditdriedelige werk van Philip Sparke, waarin levendige en opgewekte melodieën worden afgewisseld door melancholische en zangerige passages. Een betoverend werk!Wie der Titel schon andeutet, besteht Kentish Dances aus traditionellen Tanzmelodien aus der englischen Grafschaft Kent. Die seit dem 17. Jahrhundert beliebten Volkstänze sind zahlreich überliefert und boten Philip Sparke eine reichhaltige Quelle für dieses dreisätzige Werk, in dem sich lebhafte und beschwingte Melodien, mit melancholischeren Weisen und lieblichen Passagen abwechseln. Bezaubernd! Kentish Dances (“Danses du Kentâ€) est une commande du Bromley Youth Music Trust pour le Bromley Youth Concert Band (Orchestre d’Harmonie Junior de Bromley) placé sous la direction de Michael Purton. L’œuvre a été donnée en création par la formation dédicataire, le 16 mars 2008 au St John’s, Smith Square Londres.La ville de Bromley est située dans le comté du Kent l’extrémité sud-est de l’Angletrerre. Le Kent possède un riche patrimoine culturel traditionnel et notamment de nombreux airs de danses comme beaucoup d’autres régions anglaises. Connue en Angleterre sous le nom de country dancing, la contredanse fut plébiscitée par les classes moyenne et aiséeanglaises la période élisabéthaine, supplantant les formelles gaillardes et pavanes en vigueur la cour royale. La contredanse connut une telle notoriété que de nombreux ouvrages lui furent consacrés tels que l’English Dancing Master de Thomas Playford, publié en 1651, qui constitue la plus importante source de mélodies de danses traditionnelles léguée la postérité.Michael Purton, Directeur du Bromley Youth Music Trust, suggèra l’idée d’une œuvre basée sur des airs de danses typiques du Kent. Philip Sparke accepta et composa cette suite de danses en trois mouvements. Le premier mouvement est construit sur un moto perpetuo qui développe deux mélodies pétillantes en 6/8 : Dover Castle et The Fair Maid of Wickham. Le mouvement central s’articule autour de l’air Blackheath dont la sombre mélodie contraste de façon charmante et opportune avec la mélodie Bromley Bells. Le finale expose les sémillants We Are All Right at Canterbury et Ramsgate Pier. La valse cadencée Northdown Waltz offre un délicieux contraste expressif.
