Inspired by an exhibition of historic Peruvian art, Kingdom of the Sun and Moon takes us on a mythical journey reflecting the ancient Inca Empire. This imaginary movie score uses modal melodies, exotic percussion and dramatic orchestration to create an epic music experience. In cinematic style, this work opens with a panoramic picture of the great Inca city of Machu Picchu and ends with a colorful procession towards the Temple of the Sun. Though written for young band, Kingdom of the Sun and Moon's effective scoring gives it the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced piece. Dur: 3:20.

This piece depicts the refined beauty of the Grand Canyon at sunrise and sunset. These are the best times to view the Canyon with the sun low in the sky casting shadows that give depth and form to the vast panorama. Angel’s Gate is one of the many named rock formations in the canyon. The composer has tried to depict the sights and sounds of dawn, birdsong in the early morning sky and the gradual revelation of the Canyon itself as sunlight reaches into its rocky depths.Towards the end of the piece, to the sound of a tolling bell, we are however reminded of the dangers that the beauty of the Grand Canyon so cleverly hides.

The composer writes:On March 11th 2011 a massive 9.0- magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of north-eastern Japan.I'm writing these programme notes barely a week later and the death toll caused by the quake and resulting tsunami already exceeds 6000, with thousands of people still unaccounted for. I have many friends associated with many bands throughout Japan and one of these, Yutaka Nishida, suggested I write a piece to raise money to help those affected by the disaster. I was immediately attracted by the idea and have arranged Cantilena (a brass band piece recently commissioned by the Grenland International Brass Festival, Norway) for wind band, giving it a new title tohonour my friends in the Land of the Rising Sun.I will be donating royalties from this piece to the Japanese Red Cross Society Emergency Relief Fund and am delighted to say that my distributors, De Haske, who will generously also donate all net profits from sales of this piece, have pledged a substantial advance payment to the Red Cross so that what little help this project generates can be immediate.It is my sincere wish that this 'Band Aid' project will allow wind bands around the world support the people of Japan, where bands are a way of life for many, in this difficult time.Philip Sparke De componist schrijft:Op 11 maart 2011 vond er vlak bij de noordkust van Japan een enorme aardbeving - 9.0 op de schaal van Richter - plaats.Ik maak deze werkbeschrijving nauwelijks een week later en het aantal doden dat de aardbevingen de daaropvolgende tsunami hebben geëist, komt al uit boven de 6000, terwijl er nog steeds duizenden mensen worden vermist.Ik heb veel vrienden die met orkesten in heel Japan werken, en een van hen, Yutaka Nishida, steldevoor dat ik een stuk zou schrijven om geld bij elkaar te krijgen voor hulp aan de slachtoffers van de ramp. Ik vond het meteen een goed idee en ik heb vervolgens Cantilena ( een brassbandwerk dat ik recentelijk heb gecomponeerd voorhet Grenland International Brass festival in Noorwegen) gearrangeerd voor harmonieorkest en er een nieuwe titel aan gegeven, als eerbewijs aan mijn vrienden in het land van de rijzende zon.De royalty's die ik voor dit werk krijg,zal ik doneren aan het Japanse noodhulpfonds van het Rode Kruis, en ik ben heel blij dat mijn distributeur, De Haske, die eveneens alle nettowinst op dit werk zal doneren, bereid is alvast een grote vooruitbetaling te doen aanhet Rode Kruis, zodat de hulp die uit dit project voortkomt, hoe bescheiden wellicht ook, onmiddellijk in gang gezet kan worden.Ik hoop oprecht dat dit 'Band Aid-project' het blaasorkesten wereldwijd mogelijk maakt de mensen in Japante steunen - een land waar blaasmuziek voor velen een manier van leven is. Der Komponist schreibt über sein Stück:Am 11. März 2011 ereignete sich ein Erdbeben der Stärke 9,0 vor der nordöstlichen Küste Japans.Diese Werkbeschreibung schreibe ich nur eine Woche später. Die Zahl der Todesopfer des Erdbebens und des dadurch ausgelösten Tsunamis überschreitet bereits die 6000, wobei noch tausende Menschen als vermisst gelten.Ich habe zahlreiche Freunde in Japan, die mit vielen Blasorchestern im ganzen Land verbunden sind. Einer dieser Freunde, Yutaka Nishida, schlug mir vor, ein Stück zu schreiben, um mit dem Erlös den von der Katastrophe betroffenen Menschen zu helfen. Ich war gleich begeistert von dieser Idee und habe daraufhin Cantilena(ein Brass-Band-Stück, das ich jüngst für das Grenland International Brass Festival in Norwegen komponierte) für Blasorchester bearbeitet und ihm zu Ehren meiner Freunde im Land der aufgehenden Sonne einen neuen Titel gegeben.Ich werde meine Tantiemen für dieses Stück dem Hilfsfonds des Japanischen Roten Kreuzes spenden. Ich bin auch sehr froh, dass mein Verlag De Haske, der ebenfalls alle Erlöse aus diesem Stück spenden wird, dem Roten Kreuz bereits im Voraus eine bedeutende Summe geschickt hat, damit der kleine Beitrag, den dieses Projekt beitragen kann, sofort ankommt.Es ist mein inniger Wunsch, dass dieses Band Aid“-Projekt Blasorchestern auf der ganzen Welt ermöglichen wird, den Menschen in Japan zu helfen, wo Blasorchester in dieser schweren Zeit für viele ein Weg sind, das Leben aufrecht zu erhalten.“Philip Sparke Le 11 mars 2011, un violent séisme de magnitude 9.0 s’est produit près de la côte nord-est du Japon. J’écris cette note de programme tout juste une semaine après la terrible catastrophe, et le nombre de morts causé par le tremblement de terre et le tsunami provoqué par ce dernier, s’élève déj plus de 6000 personnes, tout en sachant que des milliers d’autres sont toujours portées disparues. J’ai beaucoup d’amis dans le milieu des Orchestres Vent au Japon et l’un d’entre eux, Yutaka Nishida, m’a suggéré d’écrire une œuvre destinée collecter des fonds pour venir en aide aux personnes affectées par ce cataclysme. Ayant étéimmédiatement séduit par sa proposition, j’ai écrit un arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie de la pièce Cantilena (une œuvre pour Brass Band récemment commandée par le Grenland International Brass Festival, en Norvège), et lui ai donné un nouveau titre en hommage mes amis du Pays du Soleil Levant : The Sun Will Rise Again (Le soleil se lèvera nouveau). Je reverserai l’intégralité des droits d’auteur de ce morceau au fonds de secours de la Croix-Rouge japonaise. En outre, je suis ravi d’annoncer que mon distributeur De Haske, qui a généreusement décidé de donner tous les bénéfices nets sur les ventes de cette œuvre, s’est engagé effectuer immédiatement un versement substantiel la Croix-Rouge afin que le Japon puisse profiter sans délai de l’aide modeste générée par ce projet. J’espère très sincèrement que celui-ci permettra aux Orchestres Vent du monde entier de soutenir le peuple japonais, pour qui la musique joue un rôle important, en ces temps difficiles. Philip Sparke La recente tragedia del Giappone, messo in ginocchio dal terremoto, ha spinto Philip Sparke a comporre The Sun Will Rise Again (Il sole sorger nuovamente), un brano che vuole essere un messaggio di solidariet al popolo nipponico, ma anche un aiuto concreto: gli introiti saranno interamente devoluti, sia dal compositore sia dalla casa editrice De Haske, alla Croce Rossa giapponese.

Sunset - the sun heads towards the western horizon and slowly slips from view. The sky creates a dazzling display of yellows, oranges, and reds, before turning a calm blue, then purple, and finally black. Such sunsets inspired Jan de Haan to write this piece for solo oboe and concert band. It is dedicated to his daughter, Hermanda. Zonsondergang. De zon verdwijnt langzaam aan de westelijke horizon. De hemel is in rode en oranje kleuren getooid... Deze prachtige aanblik was de inspiratie voor dit ontroerende solowerk voor hobo en harmonieorkest. Jan de Haan schreefhet in de herfst van 2008 en droeg het op aan zijn dochter Hermanda.Sonnenuntergang: Die Sonne verschwindet langsam am westlichen Horizont. Der Himmel ist in Rot- und Orangetöne getaucht. Dieser oft erlebte, aber immer wieder aufs Neue prachtvolle Anblick bildete die Quelle der Inspiration für ein ruhiges, aber intensives und damit sehr eindrucksvolles Solowerk für Oboe und Blasorchester, das Jan de Haan im Herbst 2008 seiner Tochter Hermanda widmete. Il tramonto del sole ispira da sempre pittori, fotografi , scrittori, poeti e anche compositori. Jan de Haan si è lasciato sedurre da questo istante meraviglioso, quando il cielo inventa infinite sfumature di arancio e rosso, su uno sfondo appena visibile di azzurro. Spettacolo grandioso che si ripete da sempre, ma che non finisce mai di stupire. In Sweet Sunset il ruolo principale è affi dato all’oboe.

Sun Valley Flourish is Steven Reineke at his best! Originally composed for orchestra in 2008 as the opening piece for the Erich Kunzel’s Sun Valley Festival Orchestra, it has been masterfully adapted for concert band by Steven’s first composition professor, David Shaffer. Written in the style of a fanfare/overture, this exciting work opens with brass fanfares and woodwind flourishes. Typical of Steven’s writing, the main theme of the piece is a beautiful and flowing melody complimented by masterfully written counter melodies and spectacular in-your-face brass punctuations. The lyrical middle section is simple but quite musically effective leading into the fast and powerful finale. If you are fan of Steven Reineke’s music, Sun Valley Flourish is a must-have!

Opening with a heroic fanfare, this stunning original composition was inspired by the 15th century Inca citadel Machu Picchu and specifically the Intihuatana stone in what is now southeastern Peru where sun worship was favored. Many historians have come to refer to the Inca Empire as Children of the Sun. The work continues with an intense, almost frenzied, component that sets the stage for an active interplay of contrasting themes featuring a melodic statement interrupted by accented percussive statements. A pensive and lush moment builds with strong percussion contribution to a bold and satisfying conclusion. (4:45).

Moon Song, Sun Dance was commissioned by flugel horn virtuoso, Claude Romailler, and premiered by him at the Swiss National Solo andQuartet Championships in April 2012.As the title implies, the work is in two contrasting movements, which can be performed separately or together.Moon Song opens with a flowing modal theme, which the soloist embellishes before the band takes centre stage.A central section brightens the mood with a new melody over the lightest of accompaniments; this is once again developed by the soloist until the original theme reappears, played by the band. This introduces a cadenza for the soloist which either closes the movement, or can be extended to link directly to the second movement.Sun Dance is a vivace 6/8 scherzo which opens with a flourish from the band. The soloist then introduces the main theme, which in turn is taken up by the band. A short bridge passage heralds a change of key and a new melody from the soloist. A brief central interlude then introduces a change of meter and recalls the main melody of Moon Song, before a recapitulation leads to a florid coda, which brings the work to a close.Solo part: difficulty 5.

Perihelion was commissioned by the Cory Band as their own-choice piece for the 2013 European Brass Band Championships, held in Oslo, Norway. Winning the set piece section of the contest and coming second to Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag with their own choice selection, Cory went on to become European Champions for the fifth time.Cory MD Philip Harper had asked for a 'Concerto for Band' to fully exploit his outstanding band of virtuosi, and composer Philip Sparke created a one-movement work with contiguous sections, first featuring horns and flugel, then trombones followed by cornets and a slower central section for percussion and baritones, euphonium andbasses.The piece is abstract in nature, without a specific programme, and the title merely reflects the fact that the piece was begun on January 2nd 2013, the day of Earth's perihelion - the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun. It could also be argued that the piece weaves between moments of brilliant optimism and dark shadow, both of which can be the result of bright sunshine. Perihelion wurde von der der Cory Band als Selbstwahlstuck fur die European Brass Band Championships 2013 in Oslo, Norwegen, in Auftrag gegeben. Nachdem sie die Pflichtstuck-Sektion des Wettbewerbs gewonnen und mit ihrem Selbstwahlstuck den zweiten Platz hinter dem Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musiklag belegt hatte, wurde die Cory Band zum funften Mal Europameister.Der musikalische Leiter der Cory Band Philip Harper hatte ein 'Konzert fur Brass Band' in Auftrag gegeben, um das ausserordentliche Potential an Virtuosen in seiner Formation voll auszunutzen. Philip Sparke lieferte ihm ein einsatziges Werk aus aneinandergereihten Abschnitten, das zunachst die Tenor- und Flugelhorner,dann die Posaunen in den Mittelpunkt ruckt, gefolgt von den Cornets und einem langsameren Mittelteil fur Schlaginstrumente, Baritone, Euphonium und Basse.Es handelt sich um ein abstraktes, nicht programmatisches Stuck, dessen Titel sich lediglich auf die Tatsache bezieht, dass am 2. Januar 2013, als Philip Sparke mit dem Schreiben begann, das Perihel der Erde war - der sonnennachste Punkt der Erdumlaufbahn. Man konnte auch sagen, dass sich das Stuck zwischen Momenten strahlenden Optimismus' und dunklen Schatten bewegt, was beides der Wirkung strahlenden Sonnenscheins geschuldet sein kann.

Three contrasting movements (Into the Future, Who Has Ever Touched the Sun? and Rondo: In the Nick of Time) make a modern suite, that is an excellent study in coloristic scoring for the modern concert band. The syncopations and use of angular melodic ideas will be somewhat challenging for advancing bands and help to make Upon a New Horizon an ideal showpiece for contest and festival performances.
