Composed by Philip Sparke. Elite Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2003. Anglo Music Press #AMP 028-130. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-028-130).

The piece reflects the composer's fascination with the origins of the universe and deep space in general. The title comes from a theory, formulated by Pythagoras, that the cosmos was ruled by the same laws he had discovered that govern the ratios of note frequencies of the musical scale. (‘Harmonia’ in Ancient Greek, which means scale or tuning rather than harmony - Greek music was monophonic). He also believed that these ratios corresponded to the distances of the six known planets from the sun and that the planets each produced a musical note which combined to weave a continuous heavenly melody (which, unfortunately, we humans cannot hear). In this work, these six notesform the basis of the sections MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and HARMONIA. The pieces opens with a horn solo called t = 0, a name given by some scientists to the moment of the Big Bang when time and space were created, and this is followed by a depiction of the BIG BANG itself, as the entire universe bursts out from a single point. A slower section follows called THE LONELY PLANET which is a meditation on the incredible and unlikely set of circumstances which led to the creation of the Earth as a planet that can support life, and the constant search for other civilisations elsewhere in the universe. ASTEROIDS AND SHOOTING STARS depicts both the benign and dangerous objects that are flying through space and which constantly threaten our planet, and the piece ends with THE UNKNOWN, leaving in question whether our continually expanding exploration of the universe will eventually lead to enlightenment or destruction.

Dit werk weerspiegelt de fascinatie van de componist voor het heelal. Het begint met een hoornsolo met de naam t = 0, waarmee sommige wetenschappers de oerknal aanduiden. Dan volgt een weergave van de oerknal zelf. Het volgendegedeelte, The Lonely Planet, is een meditatie over het ongelooflijke samenspel van omstandigheden dat leidde tot het ontstaan van de Aarde. Asteroids and Shooting Stars beschrijft objecten in de ruimte. Het werkeindigt met The Unknown, waarmee we in het ongewisse blijven over de gevolgen van onze verdere verkenning van het universum. In 2005 won Philip Sparke met Music of the Spheres de National Band Association/William D.Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest.

Mit diesem großartigen Werk, das dem Auftraggeber der Yorkshire Building Society Band am Europäischen Brass Band Wettbewerb 2004 in Glasgow als Selbstwahlstück zu einem weiteren Titel verhalf, beweist Philip Sparke einmal mehr seine außergewöhnlichen kompositorischen Fähigkeiten. Dieses Werk über die Ursprünge des Universums führt uns vom Urknall, vorbei an einsamen Planeten, Asteroiden und Sternschnuppen schließlich ins Unbekannte - die ungewisse Zukunft. Ein Glanzstück und eine echte Herausforderung für jeden Spitzen-Brass Band!

La fresque Music of the Spheres (“La musique des sphères”) souligne la fascination qu’éprouve le compositeur pour les origines de l’univers. L’orchestration est proche de la musique de film. Le climat musical est ample, sonore et contrasté.

Music of the Spheres evidenza il fascino che le origini dell’universo esercitano su Philip Sparke. Il titolo proviene da una teoria del matematico greco Pitagora, secondo la quale il cosmo è retto dalle stesse leggi che governano i rapporti di frequenza tra le note della scala musicale. Questa composizione inizia con un assolo di corno chiamato t = 0, nozione che definisce il momento del big-bang. The Lonely Planet (Il pianeta solitario) è una meditazione sulle circostanze che hanno portato alla creazione della terra. Asteroids and Shooting Stars (Asteroidi e Stelle cadenti) descrive i molteplici oggetti che si muovono nello spazio e che rappresentano unrischio per il nostro pianeta. Le battute finali portano verso l’ignoto (The Unknown) sollevando una domanda la cui risposta resta in sospeso: la nostra continua avanzata nell’esplorazione dell’Universo porter un giorno alla scoperta o alla distruzione?

Le Grand Esprit : la culture des Indiens Dakota était liée la terre et au monde des esprits. Dans leurs croyances, le Grand Esprit avait créé la terre en jetant une balle noire dans l’eau, puis il prit une deuxième balle et créa les êtres vivants. 2.

Dieses Werk handelt vom Weltall und unserem Platz im Universum, auf dem Weltbild von Pythagoras basierend. Am einfachsten lässt sich diese außergewöhnliche Komposition wohl als Filmmusik ähnliches Stück beschreiben ? Musik zu einem Science-Fiction-Film eines Ripley Scott oder Steven Spielberg oder auch Musik, wie sie ein John Williams oder Danny Elfman schreiben würde: absolut stimmungsvoll, brillant instrumentiert mit Klangfarben, Strukturen, Effekten und Timbres, gemischt mit fließenden musikalischen Linien, die die Substanz des Themas auf den Punkt treffen. Dieses atemberaubende neue Stück hebt Ihr Blasorchester auf ein höheres Niveau, sowohl im technischen als auchmusikalischen Sinn.

This major concert work cosists o five movements.1st movement: La Laguna del ShimbeSituated high up in the Andes mountains in Northern Peru are the Huaringas, a group of lagoons in isolated and mysterious surroundings. The water has healing powersand for centuries traditional healers have settled there in small villages. From far the sick come to the Huaringas to be treated in nightly rituals, in which the hallucinating juice of the San Pedro cactus gives the prophet a look inside hispatient. The biggest lagoon is the “Laguna del Shimbe”, one of the countless wells of the immense Amazon stream.2nd movement: Los AguarunasFurther downstream in Northern Peru we come across the rain tribe of Los Aguarunas. It’s a proud, beautiful andindependent race, which has never succumbed to domination, not even from the Incas. They live from everything the forest has to offer: fish, fruit, plants, ... . They also grow some crops and live as semi-nomads. They take their fate into their ownhands and after having made contact with modern civilisation, they have integrated new elements into their lives without betraying their own ways.3rd movement: MekaronMekaron is an Indian word meaning “picture”, “soul”, “essence”. The Indians are theorigina inhabitants of the Amazon region. They either live in one place as a group or move around a large region. They all have their own political system, their own language and an intense social life. At the same time they are master of music andmedicine. “Everywhere the white man goes, he leaves a wilderness behind him”, wrote the North American Indian leader Seatl in 1885. As a result of these contacts with the whites, the disruption of most Indian societies began. (In this century alone,80 tribes have vanished completely).4th movement: KêêtuajêThis is the name of the initiating ceremony of the Krahô tribe in the Brazilian state of Goias, in which young boys and girls enter adult life. They are cleansed with water, painted with redpaint and covered with feathers, after which the ritual dance holds the entire tribe spell-bound.5th movement: Paulino FaiakanIn 1988 the Indian chiefs Faiakan and Raoni Kaiapo came to Europe to protest against the building of the Altamira dam inBrazil. As a result of the dam the Indians would be driven from their traditional land and enormous artificial would be created. The project was supported financially by, amongst others, the European Community. In February 1989 the Indian tribesaround Altamira held a protest march for the first time in their history together. Amongst other things they paid tribute tot Chico Mendez, who, murdered in 1988, was the leader of the rubber syndicate and a fierce opponent of the destruction of theBrazilian rain forest. Brazilian and world opinion was awakened. The building of the dam was -albeit temporarily - stopped.

From Robert Orledge's notes:

My interest in the wonderful music of Claude Debussy began in the 1980s when I researched and published a book with Cambridge University Press entitled Debussy and the Theatre. During the course of my studies in Paris, I was amazed to discover that Debussy planned over 50 theatrical works but only finished two of these entirely by himself (the opera Pelleas et Melisande in 1893-1902 and the ballet Jeux for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1912-13). Of the rest, many were never started musically (like Siddartha and Orphee-roi with the Oriental scholar Victor Segalen, 1907); some had a few tantalising sketches (like the Edgar Allan Poe opera Le Diable dans le beffroi, 1902-03); some were half-finished (like his other Poe opera La Chute de la Maison Usher, 1908-17); while others were musically complete but had their orchestrations completed by other composers (like Khamma, by Charles Koechlin, 1912-13; or Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien and La Boite a joujoux by his 'angel of corrections' ['l'ange des Corrections'] Andre Caplet in 1911 and 1919 respectively).

For it has to be admitted that what some scholars call Debussy's 'compulsive achievement' could equally well be viewed as laziness, especially as far as the minute detail required for calligraphing his orchestral scores was concerned. It was as if creating the music itself was of greater importance than controlling its final sound, even if Debussy was an imaginative orchestrator when he found the time and energy to do it. It also seems true that Debussy also preferred inventing ideas to turning them into complete pieces. However, despite the lack of detail in many of his sketches (missing clefs, key signatures, dynamics, phrasing, etc.) the notes themselves are surprisingly accurate, whether or not they can be compared with a later draft. Thus, a large number of sketches exist for his Chinese ballet No-ja-li ou Le Palais du Silence and it is not too difficult to see which parts of Georges de Feure's 1913 scenario (see below) inspired which ideas. But Debussy hardly made any attempt to join them together after the first few bars.

It was usually up to his publisher, Jacques Durand, to find solutions when Debussy risked a breach of contract. Debussy was supposed to supervise the orchestrations completed by others, but this supervision was usually very light and restricted to quiet, sensitive moments in which problems were easier to spot. Far from jealously guarding every one of his created notes, as Ravel did, Debussy once even went as far as to ask Koechlin to 'write a ballet for him that he would sign' on 26 March 1914 when he was hard-pressed to fulfil his lucrative contract for No-ja-li with Andre Charlot at the Alhambra Theatre in London. In the end, Debussy (through Durand) sent Charlot the symphonic suite Printemps instead, whose orchestration had been completed by Henri Busser in the Spring of 1912.

So, when I was offered early retirement as Professor of Music at Liverpool University in 2004, I seized the opportunity it would give me to spend time trying to reconstruct some of Debussy's lost potential masterpieces from his existing sketches and drafts--then orchestrating them in Debussy's style when this was appropriate. I had begun this mission in 2001 with the most promising project, the missing parts of Scene 2 of La Chute de la Maison Usher and the sheer joy it gave me at every stage persuaded me to tackle other projects, especially when Debussy experts were unable to identify exactly where I took over from Debussy (and vice versa) in Usher.

Veel dirigenten hebben de uitstekende gewoonte elke repetitie te beginnen met een klankstudie. Het is echter net zo belangrijk om regelmatig de ritmische vaardigheden van de muzikanten te bevorderen. Hiervoor is Rhythmic Warp-upsideaal.Met Rhythmic Warm-ups hebt u voor elk orkest op elk niveau een groot aantal efficiënte oefeningen. U kunt de 10 moderne vijfstemmige harmonisaties (A t/m J) combineren met de 36 ritmische patronen - zo hebt u360 oefeningen tot uw beschikking. Uitbreiding is mogelijk door de verschillende stemmen (1-5) verschillende ritmische patronen te laten spelen. Sommige oefeningen worden bijna kleine songs op zich. Verder is het uiteraard mogelijkde harmonisaties te combineren met specifieke ritmische patronen (die u bijvoorbeeld selecteert uit het repertoire waar u aan werkt). Door het gebruik van patronen met straight eighths en in swing (rechte achtsten en swing-achtsten)kunt u het orkest trainen in alle ritmische facetten van de lichte muziek. Door de notatie van hetzelfde ritmische swingpatroon in zowel de 4/4- als 12/8-maatsoort bieden deze Rhythmic Warm-ups u de mogelijkheid om zelfshet meest klassiek georiënteerde orkest binnen enkele repetities enig swinggevoel bij te brengen en meer thuis te laten raken in Latijns-Amerikaanse ritmes. Met Rhythmic Warm-ups krijgt u uw orkest ritmisch in conditie!

Viele Dirigenten haben es sich zur löblichen Routine gemacht, jede Probe mit einer Tonübung zu beginnen. Genauso wichtig ist auch die Förderung der rhythmischen Fähigkeiten der Musiker. Rhyhmic Warm-ups ist hier eine gute Ergänzung der wöchentlichen Ãœberoutine.Rhyhmic Warm-ups bietet effziente Ãœbungen für jedes Orchester, unabhängig vom Spielniveau. Kombiniert mit 36 rhythmischen Mustern, ergeben die zehn modernen fünfstimmigen Harmoniefolgen ein Repertoire von 360 Ãœbungen, die teilweise wie kleine Lieder klingen. Auch andere Rhythmusmuster können Sie mit den Harmoniefolgen kombinieren, z. B. aus dem Repertoire, das Sie geradeeinstudieren.Mithil fe von Rhythmusmustern, die mit straight eights und in swing bezeichnet sind, werden alle rhythmischen Facetten populärer Musik abgedeckt. Durch die Notierung der gleichen Swing-Muster sowohl im 4/4- als auch im 12/8-Takt eröffnen die Rhyhmic Warm-ups die Möglichkeit, sogar einem absolut klassisch ausgerichteten Orchester innerhalb von ein paar Proben etwas Swing-Feel zu vermitteln. Auch lateinamerikanische Rhythmen können geübt werden.Mit Rhyhmic Warm-ups kriegen Sie ihr Orchester rhythmisch fit!

De nombreux chefs on ajouté une excellente routine leurs séances de répétition en effectuant un travail préliminaire sur le son. Certains utilisent un choral, d’autres choisissent une pièce solennelle du répertoire profane. Après avoir effectué ce travail préliminaire, la répétition suit son schéma habituel : l’étude des œuvres au programme.Si vous souhaitez développer la structuration rythmique de votre formation, chaque semaine, insérer une étude de rythme après la phase de travail du son.Rhythmic Warm-ups (“Échauffement rythmique”) contient une série d’exercices efficaces pour toutes les formations, quel que soit le niveau. En combinant les 10 pièces cinqvoix (A J) avec les 36 motifs rythmiques, vous disposez de 360 exercices de rythme. Pour élargir votre champ d’action, il vous suffit d’attribuer un motif rythmique différent chacune des cinq voix (1-5). Si la ligne de basse (voix 5) joue un rythme unique, les exercices se transforment en de petites pièces harmonieuses. Il est également possible de combiner les cinq voix avec des rythmes de votre choix (des rythmes extraits d’œuvres au programme, par exemple).En exploitant des motifs rythmiques en croches régulières et des motifs en croches irrégulières (swing), vos musiciens se familiariseront avec toutes les facettes rythmiques de la musique pop. Le fait de disposer d’un même motif rythmique en 4/4 et en 12/8 permet de développer le sens du swing (même chez les musiciens les plus classiques !), en quelques séances seulement. La percussion peut accompagner les motifs rythmiques 1 24 avec des rythmes pop ou latino-américains, condition de jouer ces rythmes en croches régulières. Les motifs rythmiques 25 36 doivent être soutenus par un « groove » swing. Plusieurs exemples de motifs pour la percussion ont été insérés.Il est conseillé de terminer chaque exercice avec un point d’orgue (une ronde).Je vous souhaite, vous et vos musiciens, une pleine réussite et beaucoup de satisfaction dans l’utilisation des Rhythmic.
