Philip Sparke wrote this march for the famous brass band contest held ever year on Whit Friday in Oldham and Saddleworth. Given the competition’s long history (over 120 years), he consciously composed this piece in a very traditional march form. The title, The Conqueror, refers to Alexander the Great’s nickname as well as being something every band aspires to be!
Philip Sparke schrieb diesen Marsch für die Teilnahme am berühmten Pfingstfreitag-Marschwettbewerb in England. So weist The Conqueror auch weitgehend die Form eines Wettbewerbsmarsches auf. Ganz im Sinne des passenden Titels Der Eroberer“ sollte es für jedes Blasorchester ein Leichtes sein, Juroren und/oder Publikum mit dieser Musik zu überzeugen!
Durante la stagione musicale delle brass band inglesi, c’è un appuntamento al quale gli appassionati non possono mancare: il celebre Whit Friday March Contest, un concorso all’aperto che ha luogo il venerdì dopo l’Ascensione. Si tratta di un evento cui partecipano anche formazioni straniere, tra cui la Brass Band Alexander di Stavanger in Norvegia, per la quale Philip Sparke ha composto questa marcia. The Conqueror fa parte delle marce da concerto tradizionali. Il titolo si riallaccia ad Alessandro Magno.
