This powerful work depicts the frantic voyage of the RMS Carpathia, the first ship to arrive on the scene after receiving a distress call from the Titanic. Determined to save as many lives as possible, the captain managed to squeeze 17 knots out of a supposed 14-knot vessel. The music depicts the vibrations of the ship's hull along with the hissing of the boiler. As Carpathia arrives on the terrible scene, the music relinquishes its fast pace to a slow, mournful hymn. After a brief moment of tranquility, the music intensifies as the rescue ship embarks on her triumphant yet tragic return voyage to safety. Absolutely stunning! (2:10).

Evolution was commissioned by Kunstfactor for the 4th section of the Dutch National Brass Band Championships (NBK) 2011. It is dedicated to Jappie Dijkstra and the Music Information Centre (MUI), Arnhem, Holland, in acknowledgement of their outstanding work in developing brass band repertoire. The composer writes:-The idea for the piece came when I was reading an article about a branch of Chinese philosophy which is abbreviated as Wu Xing, which has no exact translation but can mean, for example, five elements, five phases or five states of change. It is central to all elements of Chinese thought, including science, philosophy, medicine and astrology, and in simpleterms tries to create various cyclic relationships between five elements in all walks of life. An example is: Earth - Metal - Water - Wood - Fire - (Earth) etc. where (in one cycle) earth bears metal, metal changes to liquid (water) when heated, water helps trees grow, wood burns to create fire, fire produces ash (earth) and the cycle continues.I was particularly interested in the cycle of emotions: Meditation - Sorrow - Fear - Anger - Joy - (Meditation) etc. and thought this cyclic principle would provide an effective emotional journey for a piece of music. So Evolution has five equal sections which loosely characterise this emotional cycle. I have tried to make the music grow organically, with minimal repetition, and each movement evolves from the musical elements at the end of the previous one, with the opening material appearing, transformed, at the end of the piece to complete the cycle.

Evolution is geschreven in opdracht van Kunstfactor voor de 4e divisie van de NBK (Nederlandse Brassband Kampioenschappen) 2011. Het werk is opgedragen aan Jappie Dijkstra en het MUI (Muziekuitleen- en Informatiecentrum) te Arnhem, als waardering voor hun inspanningen met betrekking tot de ontwikkeling van het brassbandrepertoire.De componist schrijft:Het idee voor Evolution kwam in mij op toen ik een artikel las over een tak binnen de Chinese filosofie waarvan de naam wordt afgekort tot Wu Xing - waar geen exacte vertaling voor is, maar wat zoveel betekent als vijf elementen, vijf fasen of vijf stadia van verandering. Het gaat om een wezenlijk onderdeel van allecomponenten binnen het Chinese gedachtegoed, inclusief de wetenschap, filosofie, geneeskunst en astrologie. Simpel gezegd draait het om het creeren van diverse cyclische verbanden tussen vijf elementen die in ieders leven een rol spelen. Een voorbeeld: Aarde - Metaal - Water - Hout - Vuur - (Aarde) enz. In deze cyclus bevat aarde metaal; metaal verandert in vloeistof (water) door verhitting; water helpt bomen te groeien; hout dat brandt creeert vuur; en vuur produceert as (aarde). Zo blijft de cyclus voortgaan. Zelf was ik vooral geinteresseerd in de cyclus van emoties: Meditatie - Verdriet - Angst - Boosheid - Vreugde - (Meditatie) enz. De gedachte aan dit cyclische principe leverde een reis door een muzikale wereld van emoties op. Evolution bestaat uit vijf delen die betrekking hebben op de emotionele cyclus. Ik heb geprobeerd de muziek op natuurlijke wijze te laten ontstaan, met zo weinig mogelijk herhalingen. Elk deel vloeit voort uit de muzikale elementen uit het slot van het voorgaande deel. Het openingsmateriaal komt, in getransformeerde gedaante, terug aan het einde van het werk, waarmee de cyclus wordt afgerond.

Dieses Prinzip nimmt eine zentrale Positionim gesamten chinesischen Gedankengut ein, sei es in der Wissenschaft, Medizin oder Astrologie. Einfach ausgedruckt, werden damit in allen Lebensbereichen verschiedene zyklische Beziehungen zwischen funf Elementen hergestellt.Zum Beispiel: Erde - Metall - Wasser - Holz - Feuer - (Erde) - usw.

Ich dachte mir, dass dieser Kreislauf eine wirkungsvolle emotionale Reise durch ein Musikstuck darstellen konnte.

Everyone wants to be a drummer! This exciting composition provides that opportunity to the entire wind section in a call-and-response section utilizing rhythm sticks. The title also refers to the use of paradiddles in the non-melodic percussion parts. It's the perfect piece to solidify eighth note rhythms and articulations. (2:05).

Bolero was originally written as a ballet for a famous ballerina and achieved great success on the stage. Nowadays the ballet itself is only rarely performed and even though Ravel thought the orchestra would seldom play it, it has become one of the best-loved pieces for the concert stage. This arrangement by Philip Sparke keeps very close to the original score in this melodically and rhythmically unique work.

Ravel schreef Bolero oorspronkelijk als ballet voor een beroemde danseres. Als zodanig was het ook bijzonder succesvol. Tegenwoordig wordt het als ballet nog zelden opgevoerd. Hoewel Ravel dacht dat het als orkestwerk nietin de smaak zou vallen, is het toch een van de geliefdste titels voor op het concertpodium geworden. De bewerking van Philip Sparke blijft dicht bij de originele partituur van dit melodisch en ritmisch bijzondere werk.

Bolero wurde ursprünglich als Ballett für eine berühmte Tanzerin geschrieben und feierte sensationelle Erfolge auf der Tanzbühne. Heute wird das Ballett nur noch selten aufgeführt und obwohl Ravel dachte, dass Orchester das Werk nur selten spielen würden, ist es zu einem der beliebtesten Titel für die Konzertbühne geworden.Philip Sparkes Bearbeitung halt sich nah an der Original-Partitur dieses melodisch und rhythmisch einzigartigen Werkes.

Le dernier ballet de Ravel, Bolero, fut ecrit et cree en 1928. Aujourd'hui, le ballet est rarement represente, et, bien que Ravel ait craint que les orchestres refusent d'interpreter son oeuvre, celle-ci est devenue l'une des plus populaires dans les salles de concert. Le Bolero est peut-etre unique en son genre, dans le sens ou l'orchestration geniale de Ravel est encore plus importante que les elements melodiques, rythmiques et harmoniques de l'oeuvre ; c'est pourquoi Philip Sparke n'a pas vu l'utilite d'en produire une version simplifiee ou reduite mais a essaye de respecter au mieux la partition de Ravel. Laissez-vous seduire !

Il Bolero composto da Maurice Ravel nel 1929 e per eccellenza la musica per balletto divenuta celebre anche come pezzo concertistico. E' sicuramente il bolero piu noto mai composto, nonche l'opera piu popolare di Ravel, commissionatagli da Ida Rubinstein, una ballerina russa. Philip Sparke ha rispettato la geniale orchestrazione di Ravel creando uno straordinario arrangiamento per banda.

The overture to Giuseppe Verdi's 1862 opera La Forza del Destino (The Power of Fate) has remained standard repertoire for orchestras around the world. In this imaginative work for winds, Jay Bocook pays homage to the mastery of Verdi and begins with the ominous 3-note “fate” theme from the overture. Throughout the piece melodies are recast and harmonies are embellished, culminating in an exhilarating conclusion where the final seven bars quote Verdi's original almost identically. A brilliant addition to the wind band repertoire.

Downfall by Ryan Meeboer is a fun and aggressive, yet simply sophisticated piece that focuses on using the first notes learned in most method books. It is the perfect opportunity for performers to develop both individual skills, such as articulations, accidentals, dynamics, and ensemble playing such as balance and call and response. Throughout the piece, each part is given the opportunity to shine by performing some form of the main melody. (1:45).

Kwaheri, the third movement of Ngoma za Kenya, contains similar gestures to the previously released first movement, Jambo (2008), but is harmonically more progressive. Stylistic influences in the work come from the composer's experiences with Kenyan choral traditions (call and response) and the joyful, optimistic, and celebratory nature of Kenyan culture.

Martin Mailman (1932-2000) composed Alarums for Band, Op. 27 in 1962 in Greenville, North Carolina. The word alarum means a call to arms. The piece was originally titled Overture for Band and was later changed to Alarums for Band sometime between its completion in 1962 and publication in 1969 with John Barnes Chance, Mailman's colleague and friend, probably suggesting the change in title sometime during this period. Bold and commanding, a cherished addition to the Belwin Classic Band series.
