On a war
memorial in the Dutch
village of Wons is
engraved a list of names
to honour the fallen in
World War II. This is the
basis for the name of
this piece. However, this
composition was written
for everyone who has made
Wons what it is today: a
pretty place near to Lake
IJssel with a
comfortable way of life.
The piece begins with a
celebratory introduction
in which the village is
presented to the
listener. There follows a
delightful rhythmic and
high-tempo theme that
reflects the happiness,
innocence and carefree
atmosphere before the
war. Now we hear a moody,
fragmented theme
depicting soldiers
shooting. This is brought
to a close with dissonant
clusters of
sound,intoning the
dreadful tragedy of the
war. The ensuing quiet
gives way to a calm
middle section in a minor
key that portrays both
frustration and
consolation. The fast
tempo of the beginning
returns, this time in the
form of a victory march.
We hear freedom being
celebrated. We hear the
previous happy, innocent
and carefree themes, too.
There follows a festive,
martial theme, a tribute
to the village, before
the piece closes with
sounds of celebration.

compositie is echter
tevens geschreven voor
alle mensen die Wons

het nu is: een prachtig
dorpje vlak bij het

prettig toeven is. De
compositie begint met een

het dorp zich presenteert
aan de luisteraar. Dan
klinkt een aansprekend
ritmisch thema in een
snel tempo dat de
vrolijkheid,
onbevangenheid en
onbezorgdheid van voor de
oorlog uitstraalt. Dit
gaat over in een melodie
in mineur, die het
naderendeoorlogsgevaar
aankondigt. Dan is er een
grillig thema met stops
waarin het schieten van
de soldaten te horen is.
Dit eindigt in enkele
dissonante clusters die
het tragische dieptepunt
van de oorlog
accentueren. De
daaropvolgende stilte
lost op in een gedragen
middendeel in mineur
waaruit enerzijds
verdriet en anderzijds
troost spreekt. Dan komt
het snelle tempo van het
begin weer terug, ditmaal
in de vorm van een
vreugdemars. De vrijheid
wordt gevierd. Ook het
thema van de vrolijkheid,
onbevangenheid en
onbezorgdheid is weer te
horen. Er volgt nu een
statig martiaal thema,
een eerbetoon aan het
dorp, waarna het werk
wordt afgesloten met
feestelijke klanken.

The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The
Web, third movement
of The Book of
Urizen is now

Hope
Remains Within was
commissioned by and
composed for the Mount
Nittany Middle School 7th
and 8th Grade Concert
Bands. Having heard the
students of Mount Nittany
perform another work of
mine, I was very excited
when their director,
Johanna Steinbacher,
approached me about
writing a piece
specifically for them. I
knew right away that I
wanted to write something
that would tie in with
their non-music
curriculum in some way,
but I wasn't exactly sure
how, or what. Johanna
talked to some of her
students and learned
that, in 7th grade, the
students spend a good
deal of time studying
mythology in their
English class. In
particular, two clarinet
students mentioned how
much they enjoyed the
story of Pandora. As
such, I decided to use
that story as the basis
of this composition. Hope
Remains Within doesn't
attempt to re-tell the
story, event by event, in
musical terms. Instead,
my goal was to address
what seems to be one of
the central issues of the
Pandora myth. Though
there are some
variations, we probably
all know the basics as
told by the ancient Greek
poet Hesiod. Zeus decides
to punish Prometheus for
stealing fire from heaven
and giving it to humans.
He and the other gods
create Pandora, a
beautiful and deceitful
woman, and they give her
to Prometheus's brother
Epimetheus as a bride.
Pandora is herself given
a jar (according to many
sources, jar seems to be
a more accurate
translation for what we
commonly call Pandora's
box) which contained
numerous evils, diseases,
and other pains. Out of
curiosity, Pandora opens
the jar and releases all
of these evils into the
world. But one thing
remains in the jar: hope.
The issue of hope seems
to be one of the big
interpretive questions of
the Pandora myth. Why
does hope remain within
the jar? Why doesn't it
come out of the jar to
help humanity? Is hope
being held on a pedestal
of some sort? Is hope
deliberately withheld
from humanity? Why was
hope in the jar with all
those evils in the first
place? I'm not enough of
a mythological scholar to
claim to have definitive
answers to those
questions, but these are
the questions that I've
tried to engage from a
musical perspective in
Hope Remains Within. I
encourage the students
and listeners to consider
their own ideas of what
hope is, and where you
can find your own hope
when needed. Musically,
Hope Remains Within draws
one of its main themes
from the Prometheus
Symphony by Alexander
Skryabin (Scriabin). The
note sequence F-D-Gb -F,
heard near Hope's
beginning played by alto
saxophones and chimes,
comes from the opening
measures of Skyrabin's
work. Given the important
role that Prometheus
plays in the Pandora
myth, this seemed like an
appropriate musical
gesture to quote. This
Prometheus motive is
varied throughout the
course of the piece, and
even provides closure at
the end, recast in a
major key. Additionally,
I have tried to involve a
manageable amount of
chromaticism in this
piece. I have worked from
the key of Bb major, no
doubt familiar to every
student who has ever
played an instrument in a
band. But I have added
three extra notes: Db,
Gb, and Ab, which are
drawn from the key of Bb
minor. During the piece's
slow opening, I have
allowed these minor key
pitches to mingle freely
within the Bb major
tonality, adding extra
color and (I hope!)
beauty. As the piece
progresses, though, the
tempo increases, and we
lose sense of the Bb
major key entirely, and
these extra notes play a
more important role. But
finally, Bb major returns
triumphantly and all the
extra notes are gone,
except for a brief memory
near the very end. (Ok,
there are a couple of
E-naturals that sneak in
there along the way. I
couldn't
resist.). Hope Remains
Within was commissioned
by and composed for the
Mount Nittany Middle
School 7th and 8th Grade
Concert Bands. Having
heard the students of
Mount Nittany perform
another work of mine, I
was very excited when
their director, Johanna

doesn’t attempt to
re-tell the story, event
by event, in musical
terms. Instead, my goal
was to address what seems
to be one of the central
issues of the Pandora
myth. Though there are
some variations, we
probably all know the
basics as told by the
ancient Greek poet
Hesiod. Zeus decides to
punish Prometheus for
stealing fire from heaven
and giving it to humans.
He and the other gods
create Pandora, a
beautiful and deceitful
woman, and they give her
to Prometheus’s
brother Epimetheus as a
bride. Pandora is herself
given a jar (according to
many sources,
“jar†seems
to be a more accurate
translation for what we
commonly call
“Pandora’s
boxâ€) which
contained numerous evils,
diseases, and other
pains. Out of curiosity,
Pandora opens the jar and
releases all of these
evils into the world. But
one thing remains in the
jar: hope.The issue of
hope seems to be one of
the big interpretive
questions of the Pandora
myth. Why does hope
remain within the jar?
Why doesn’t it
come out of the jar to
help humanity? Is hope
being held on a pedestal
of some sort? Is hope
deliberately withheld
from humanity? Why was
hope in the jar with all
those evils in the first
place?I’m not
enough of a mythological
scholar to claim to have
definitive answers to
those questions, but
these are the questions
that I’ve tried to
engage from a musical
perspective in Hope
Remains Within. I
encourage the students
and listeners to consider
their own ideas of what
hope is, and where you
can find your own hope
when needed.Musically,
Hope Remains Within draws
one of its main themes
from the Prometheus
Symphony by Alexander
Skryabin (Scriabin). The
note sequence F-D-Gb -F,
heard near Hope’s
beginning played by alto
saxophones and chimes,
comes from the opening
measures of
Skyrabin’s work.
Given the important role
that Prometheus plays in
the Pandora myth, this
seemed like an
appropriate musical
gesture to quote. This
Prometheus motive is
varied throughout the
course of the piece, and
even provides closure at
the end, recast in a
major key.Additionally, I
have tried to involve a
manageable amount of
chromaticism in this
piece. I have worked from
the key of Bb major, no
doubt familiar to every
student who has ever
played an instrument in a
band. But I have added
three extra notes: Db,
Gb, and Ab, which are
drawn from the key of Bb
minor. During the
piece’s slow
opening, I have allowed
these minor key pitches
to mingle freely within
the Bb major tonality,
adding extra color and (I
hope!) beauty. As the
piece progresses, though,
the tempo increases, and
we lose sense of the Bb
major key entirely, and
these extra notes play a
more important role. But
finally, Bb major returns
triumphantly and all the
extra notes are gone,
except for a brief memory
near the very end. (Ok,
there are a couple of
E-naturals that sneak in
there along the way. I
couldn’t
resist.).

Diamond
Concerto was
commissioned by
Musikverein Morschied
from Germany - Dr. Eric
Grandjean, conductor -
for a special concert
featuring Steven Mead as
guest soloist. Together
they gave the world
premiere on 28th April
2012 in the town theatre
of Idar-Oberstein.The
commission is a highlight
in the 30-year friendship
between composer and
soloist, which has
included many mutual CD
projects and concerts
and, now, a concerto.
Sparke had Steven Mead's
special euphonium sound
in his head throughout
the composition process
and made free use of the
variety of styles which
the world-renowned
virtuoso has made his own
during his highly
successful solo
career.The village
ofMorschied lies to the
west of Frankfurt am Main
in the area known as the
German Road of Precious
Stones, which is famous
for its thriving gem
industry. Because of this
it was decided to give
the commission a local
connection by choosing
the title, Diamond
Concerto. Each of the
three movements is named
after a famous diamond:1
EARTH STARis rather stern
in mood, opening with a
free fantasy for the
soloist over a static
chord from the band. This
leads to an Allegro
Moderato in minor mode
where small motives are
gradually repeated and
developed by both band
and soloist.2 OCEAN
DREAMuses a varied quote
from the composer's
Music for Battle
Creek, including a
melting slow melody that
was originally written
with Steven Mead in
mind.3 BLUE HEARTwas
written, at Steven Mead's
suggestion, in bebop
style and takes the form
of a jazz waltz. The
quasi-improvisatory
central section features
a call-and-response
passage for the soloist
and upper
woodwinds.Soloist:
Difficulty 6Diamond
Concerto is available
for euphonium and piano
(AMP 374-401) as well as
for euphonium and brass

Diamond
Concerto is
geschreven in opdracht
van de Duitse Musikverein
Morschied - met dirigent
Eric Grandjean - voor een
speciaal concert met
Steven Mead als
gastsolist. De
wereldpremiere vond
plaats op 28 april 2012
in het Stadttheater van
Idar-Oberstein.De
opdracht vormt een
hoogtepunt in de dertig
jaar lange vriendschap
van de componist en de
solist - waarin ze aan
vele gezamenlijke
cd-projecten en concerten
werkten. En nu is er dan
dit concert. Sparke heeft
het gecomponeerd met
Steven Meads geheel eigen
euphoniumklank in het
achterhoofd. Hij paste
daarbij de diverse
stijlen toe die de
wereldberoemde virtuoos
zich heeft eigen gemaakt
tijdens zijn
succesvollesolocarriere.H
et plaatsje Morschied
ligt ten westen van
Frankfurt am Main, in het
gebied dat bekendstaat
als de Deutsche
Edelsteinstrasse. Het is
beroemd vanwege zijn
bloeiende
edelstenenindustrie. Om
het werk een lokaal
tintje te geven is een
toepasselijke titel
gekozen: Diamond
Concerto. Elk van de
drie delen is genoemd
naar een beroemde
edelsteen:1 EARTH STARDit
deel is tamelijk sober
van sfeer. Het opent met
een vrije fantasie van de
solist over een statisch
akkoord in het orkest.
Dan volgt een allegro
moderato in mineur, met
kleine motieven die
geleidelijk worden
herhaald en uitgewerkt
door zowel het orkest als
de solist.2 OCEAN
DREAMHierin wordt een
citaat van Sparke's werk
Music for Battle
Creek naar voren
gebracht, met een
vloeiende, langzame
melodie die van oorsprong
werd geschreven met het
spel van Steven Mead in
gedachten.3 BLUE
HEARTNaar een suggestie
van Steven Mead zelf is
dit deel geschreven in
bebopstijl. Het neemt de
vorm aan van een
jazzwals. De
quasi-improvisatorische
centrale passage omvat
een vraag-en-antwoordspel
voor de solist en het
hoge hout.Solo:
