In Memoriam Dr. Klaus Brandstätter-Sunset Serenade est un hommage du compositeur à un collégue musicien qui perdit la vie de maniére inattendue. Malgré les tristes circonstances de sa création Sunset Serenade refléte essentiellement des souvenirs heureux et un sentimentde gratitude pour les bons moments passés ensemble et les expériences partagées. Le caractére généralement tranquille de cette ?uvre symbolise lacceptation de la nature éphémére des êtres humains.

Manhattan nous emmène à New York le temps d?un week-end. Le mouvement d?ouverture Saturday Serenade baigne dans l?atmosphère ?bluesy? d?un samedi soir probablement passé dans l?ambiance feutrée et enfumée d?un club de jazz. Avec Sunday Scherzo Philip Sparke illustre un jogging matinal dans Central Park. Ce second mouvement rythmiquement dynamique se conclut sur une coda encore plus vive qui mène l?oeuvre vers une fin brillante.

Manhattan was commissioned by the United States Army Band for their solo cornet player Woodrow English and first performed by them in Carnegie Hall New York in November 2003. The two-movement work demonstrates both the lyrical and technical abilities of this outstanding player. The 'theme' is a weekend in New York and the opening bluesy movement Saturday Serenade describes the city on a Saturday night. While writing the second movement Sunday Scherzo the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park. This vivaciously rhythmic second movement ends with an even quicker coda bringing the work to a brilliant close. Each movement can also be playedindividually when a shorter solo is required.

This three-movement work showcases the music of Dutch conductor/composer Willem van Otterloo. Entitled March Nocturne and Scherzo each of the three movements has the feel of a film score with beautiful soothing melodies contrasted with jazzy interludes. A major new concert item that will both entertain and enchant your audience.
