The second half of the 18th century, for the people of East Central Europe, was the time of the awakening of national consciousness. The leading force in the Hungarian enlightenment, the lesser nobility, also regarded as important the national character of the country's culture. A valuable kind of national music was the Hungarian dance music that flourished in the 18th century. The greater part of the repertoire naturally perpetuates the 'Hungarian-style' pieces from the previous centuries (appearing in foreign collections too described as hungaricus, ungaresca, saltus hungaricus or Ungarischer Tanz), but beside these we can encounter contemporary European dances and entertaining instrumental pieces in almost every style. The majority of the sources are collections compiled by non-professional musicians and intendedfor private music-making. In this work the composer uses melodies from the 18th-century Linus dance collection, in trioform, with harmonies and bass appropriate to that period. The musical fabric is rich in counterparts, the sound is mademore colourful with many kinds of percussion instruments. The register and rhythmic simplicity of the parts make thepieces easily playable even by music school pupils.

The Shakers were a sect who, in the 18th Century, sailed out from England to America. Right into the late 19th Century, the numerous songs of this community were handed down orally, until they were written down in various volumes of song collections.Philip Sparkes fantasy for wind band is based on a selection of these beautiful, captivatingly simple songs.

De shakers vormden een van de religieuze groeperingen die in het 18e-eeuwse Engeland ontstonden. Ze maakten vele liederen, die eind 19e eeuw voor het eerst in bundels werden uitgegeven. De melodieën die zijn gebruikt in Shaker Heights Fantasykomen uit twee van zulke bundels.

Die Shaker waren eine Sekte, die im 18. Jahrhundert von England nach Amerika auswanderte. Bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert wurden die zahlreichen Lieder dieser Gemeinschaft nur mündlich tradiert, bevor sie in verschiedenen Sammlungen niedergeschriebenwurden. Philip Sparkes Fantasie für Blasorchester basiert auf einer Auswahl dieser schönen, durch ihre Schlichtheit bestechenden Lieder.

Le contenu de cette composition offre une belle palette démotions aux teintes énergiques, dynamiques et intenses, sans omettre toutefois des intonations poétiques empreintes de douceur et délicatesse. Une introduction majestueuse céde la place uneligne mélodique sintensifiant peu peu en rassemblant lensemble des pupitres puis soriente vers un diminuendo. Lors du passage central, bois et cuivres sinterpellent joyeusement autour dun théme festif. La conclusion est pétulante !

Gli shaker erano una comunit religiosa costituitasi in Inghilterra nel XVIII° secolo. Con varie raccolte ci sono state tramandate alcune delle loro numerose canzoni che conquistano per la loro semplicit . Le melodie in Shaker Heights Fantasydi Philip Sparke provengono da due di queste raccolte.

Großer Gott, wir loben dich is a well-known German hymn, written by Ignaz Franz in the 18th century but based on the 4th century Te Deum laudamus. After a radiant introduction by the brass section, the first variation on the chorale appears. Subsequently, the song is rendered in its original form. Then three more variations follow. The result is a solemn work that is very fitting within the context of a church service, but is also suitable for many other occasions.

Grosser Gott, wir loben dich is een bekende traditionele Duitse lofzang die in de 18e eeuw werd geschreven door Ignaz Franz, op basis van het 4e-eeuwse Te Deum laudamus van - waarschijnlijk - Nicetas von Remesiana. Demooie melodie ligt goed in het gehoor. Het is een plechtig werk dat in de context van een kerkdienst goed tot zijn recht komt, maar ook voor diverse andere gelegenheden geschikt is.

Nach einer strahlenden Einleitung der Blechbläser setzt die erste Variation über das bekannte Kirchenlied ein. Danach erscheint das Lied in seiner ursprünglichen Form, gefolgt von drei weiteren Variationen. Das Ganze fügt sich zu einem feierlichen Werk, das sehr gut in einen Gottesdienst passt, sich aber auch für zahlreiche andere Anlässe eignet.

Árpád Balázs (*1937) composed the first version of the work between 1994 and 1996 for tárogató and concert band. Since this traditional Hungarian instrument is rarely found in ensembles abroad, a soprano saxophone can serve as an alternative solo instrument. The composer uses melodies from the early 18th century, from the age of Rákóczi's war of independence. An ambitious framework is given to the work by the reminiscing, solemnly flowing brass chorus, which is built of the motives of the folk song Oh,Rákóczi, Bercsényi (Hej, Rákóczi, Bercsényi). As a contrast serves then Panna Czinka's ancient “violin lament”. Following this, in a pierced-work-like fashion, the folk song The dew of green forest (Zöld erdo harmatát) comes in, then, as the culmination of the work, the well-known, wild Kuruc dance of Csínom Palkó appears. In conclusion, Kuruc Pictures is a tastefully constructed, finely harmonised and orchestrated orchestral tableau.
