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!
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?
