Centennial Salute débute avec une majestueuse fanfare énoncée aux cuivres graves puis reprise en tutti. Une ligne mélodique vient contraster par son expressivité avant d?être rejointe par le thème d?ouverture pour cheminer conjointement vers un vivo passionné (une marche) suivi d?un trio. Le thème de la marche revient ; la trame s?amplifi e et la musique atteint son apogée alors qu?éclate le contenu solennel des mesures initiales offrant une apothéose triomphale.

La plupart des pays ayant institué la tradition des musiques militaires ont développé un style de marche caractéristique. Ainsi il est relativement aisé de distinguer une marche américaine d?une marche militaire française ou une marche allemande d?une marche espagnole. À l?intérieur du cadre structurel rigide d?une marche on réussit à percevoir même les plus subtiles différences de rythme d?harmonie et de tempo qui caractérisent les traditions de chaque pays.Il existe un ou plus exactement deux styles de marche typiquement anglais : celui des marches militaires représenté par des compositeurs tels que Kenneth J. Alford et celui des marches cérémonielles ou de concert quiatteindra l?excellence avec les marches orchestrales d?Elgar et Walton entre autres.Royal Salute (?Salut royal?) est une marche de difficulté moyenne qui perpétue cette grande tradition. On y retrouve des éléments typiques : des mélodies et contremélodies amples et un trio nobilmente.

Fanfare for Billy-It is a tradition at Marlow High School Oklahoma that the band members’ parents host a Band Banquet every May at which the senior members of the band present a gift to the band director as a token of gratitude for his year’s work. In 2009 clarinet player Brenna Hensley had the idea to commission a new piece from composer Philip Sparke to present to band director Billy Daniel which would be played at the Spring Concert later that month. Salute to a Hero was the result.The piece opens with a decorated fanfare played on cornets and trombones and after a short bridge passage this reappears played by the full band. A central lyrical section brings a mood of calm utilisingdifferent brass colours before the fanfare returns to close the work.

Sparkling Overture, this energetic and dynamic piece opens with a festive and resolutely positive fanfare. The much more tranquil and lilting second theme is a magnificent chorale which is then followed by a brilliant return of the first motif. Used as a theme tune, this piece will be ideal as a contrasting, joyful and sparkling concert opening.

A Bandsman’s Overture was commissioned by British Bandsman magazine to celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2012. It was premiered by Black Dyke Band conducted by Dr Nicholas Childs at a special anniversary concert held in Symphony Hall Birmingham on July 1st.British Bandsman was for a period known as British Bandsman and Contest Field following an amalgamation of two magazines. The then owner John Henry Iles celebrated this new title by commissioning Ord Hume to write the famous march BB & CF. As a salute to this heritage A Bandsman’s Overture starts with the four notes B(b)-B(b)-C-F a motive which permeates an opening fanfare which contrasts a busy opening with a more legato central section. This gives way to a bustling Vivo based on repeated staccato notes. A change of key heralds a central cantabile melody first on euphoniums and baritone and then played by the full band which is followed by a short development section. This leads to a transformed reprise and a return of the opening fanfare decorated this time by florid muted cornets.

Elegy for Band-The initial idea was for a millennium piece which it is but rather than add to the many celebratory pieces that have understandably been written to salute the 3rd millennium Philip Sparke thought it would perhaps be appropriate to think about the aspects of life that are constantly with us (such as faith and philosophy) rather than the exciting changes that the year 2000 has undeniably wrought. This calm meditative work will bring a moment of serenity and reflection to any concert.

This fantasy tells the story of Oregon one of Americas north-western states. Traveling by train on the Northern Pacific Railroad the listener is taken through the fascinating Oregon landscape. Indians cowboys golddiggers and hooded wagons will file past on this adventurous journey. The piece has some similarities with a soundtrack of a movie. Various melodies which could be the main themes of a movie pass the review.The piece begins in a slow movement introducing the first theme in minor. Then we hear in the following fast movement the trombones imitate the train whistling the steam-flute. We hear the characteristic minor theme again but now in differentvariants(also in major). The rythmic structure of 'western' stile and rock succeed each other. This is leading to the slow movement where the signals of horns and trumpets introduce a wonderful vocal melody. After this characteristic melody the fast movement appears shortly again the trombones whistling the steam-flute again (now in major). We hear also some musical elements that plays a part in the following Presto. Barchanges jazzy chords interesting rhytmic patterns (with bongo) and an original theme are the characteristics of this Presto. After this the horns announce the last section of the piece. Interesting is the fact that we hear in this Allegro section a variant of the vocal melody in the slow movement. Also the Presto theme returns shortly followed by the Allargando which is a grand characteristic end of a soundtrack. The movie of our travelling fantasy has come to an end.
