The White Stone was commissioned by the band of the catholic parish of Dossenheim on the occasion of the 1250th anniversary of the town of Dossenheim near Heidelberg, Germany. The work is named after a high peak (White Stone) in the east of the town. Throughout the piece the composer uses the tune ‘How lovely you are, my Dossenheim’ in different forms and shapes, and musically he depicts the history and landscapes of this idyllic town. A challenging and versatile concert work with lots of beautiful melodies as well as rhythmical and energetic sequences.

The White Stone werd geschreven in opdracht van de Musikkapelle der katholischen Pfarrgemein-de Dossenheim, ter gelegenheid van het 1250-jarig bestaan van deze plaats, dicht bij Heidelberg, Duitsland. De titel van het werk verwijst naar ‘der Weiße Stein’, een berg in het Odenwald ten oosten van Dossenheim. De componist heeft de melodie van Wie schön bist du, mein Dossenheim in diverse vormen en gedaanten verwerkt. Hiermee worden de geschiedenis en het landschap van deze idyllische plaats treffend verklankt. Dit uitdagende en veelzijdige concertwerk bevat prachtige melodieën evenals ritmisch energieke passages.

From majestic to pastoral to dance-like, Land of the Long White Cloud is Philip Sparke's representation of New Zealand. This piece is a wonderful addition to the concert band repetoire.

Long before Europeans ventured out of sight of land, the bold and restless ancestors of the Maori people were making voyages of thousands of miles across the world's greatest oceans. It was around 1000 AD that they landed in New Zealand. The discovery of New Zealand is attributed in Maori tradition to Kupe and the circumstances of the landfall gave the country its Maori name. As land was approached, a long, flat volcanic cloud could be seen. Kupe's wife Hine-te-aparangi, looked to the horizon and cried out, He ao! He ao! A cloud! A cloud! The name of Aotearoa was given to the islands - The Land of the Long White Cloud. Land of the Long White Cloud was originally conceived as a brass band work as a result of a commission by the New Zealand Brass Band Association for their National Championships held in 1980 in Christchurch. This transcription by the composer was commissioned by Keith Allen and Birmingham Schools' Wind Orchestra who gave the first performance in the Adrian Boult Hall, Birmingham, England on Sunday 15 May 1988.

White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band in Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece of intermediate difficulty that included the work “white” (Ms. Teramoto's lucky color) in the title. The composer used this suggestion to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, color and orchestration, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band; he was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. The piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. It opens with a chorale-like passage on flutes and clarinets; the soloist enters with a recitative over trilling clarinets. The main theme is then introduced, accompanied by the woodwinds. After a short bridge passage, a change of key heralds a second theme by the soloist, with gentle brass punctuations. This builds to a climax, ending on a high trill from the soloist. After short passage over a timpani roll, the band recalls the main theme, taken up once again by the soloist. This leads to a short cadenza before the closing bars bring the work peacefully to a close.

This is an ancient Welsh air that was first published in Relics of the Welsh Bards in 1794. Dafydd (David) Owain was a famous Welsh bard who lived on a farm called Gareg Wen (The White Rock) in Eifionydd, Carnarnvonshire, North Wales. Tradition has it that on his deathbed he called for his harp and composed this lovely melody, requesting that it be played at his funeral. Accordingly, it was later played at the parish church of Ynys-Cynhaiarn. Lyrics were later added by Ceiriog Hughes, which describe the melody's inspiration. This version for concert band retains all the beauty and simplicity of the original.

Deze oude melodie uit Wales werd in 1794 voor het eerst uitgegeven in Relics of the Welsh Bards. Dafydd (David) Owain was een beroemde bard uit Wales, hij woonde op een boerderij genaamd Gareg Wen (De witte rots) te Eifionyddin Carnarnvonshire, in Noord-Wales. Volgens de overlevering vroeg hij op zijn sterfbed om zijn harp en componeerde hij vervolgens deze prachtige melodie, met het verzoek om die te laten spelen op zijn begrafenis. Overeenkomstigzijn wens werd de melodie gespeeld in de dorpskerk van Ynys-Cynhaiarn. De tekst werd later toegevoegd door Ceiriog Hughes en beschrijft de ontstaansgeschiedenis van deze muziek.

Dafydd Owain war ein berühmter walisischer Barde, der auf einem Bauernhof namens Gareg Wen, was so viel wie weißer Felsen bedeutet, lebte; daher der Name David vom weißen Felsen“. Es wird erzählt, dass Dafydd auf seinem Sterbebett nach seiner Harfe verlangte und dort diese Melodie komponierte, mit der Bitte, man möge sie zu seiner Beerdigung spielen. Die Schlichtheit dieses bezaubernden Airs eignet sich perfekt als Zwischenspiel in Ihrem Konzert.

Dafydd (David) Owain fu un poeta e cantore gallese. Visse a Eifionydd, nella contea del Carnavonshire (nel nord del Galles), in una fattoria chiamata”Gareg wen” (La roccia bianca). Una leggenda narra che, prima di morire,Dafydd Owain chiese che gli venisse portata la sua arpa. Negli ultimi istanti della sua vita avrebbe composto questa deliziosa melodia esigendo che venisse eseguita al suo funerale. Alcuni anni dopo, il poeta John Ceiriog Hughes scrisse un testo riportandosi alla storia che aveva portato alla composizione di questa melodia, divenuta da allora un classico della musica tradizionale gallese.

Philip Sparke’s third symphony, A Colour Symphony, was commissioned by “sinfonischen blasorchester wehdel” conducted by Thomas Ratzek. In the five movements (white, yellow, blue, red and green) the composer creates links betweenthe instrumentation and harmonic elements and the actual colour of the spectrum the movement stands for. In order to create the greatest richness possible, Philip Sparke used a very large instrumentation including low woodwinds, harp, piano andcelli. A Colour Symphony is an impressive and iconic addition to the standard repertoire for large symphonic bands.

De derde symfonie van Philip Sparke, A Colour Symphony, is geschreven in opdracht van het ‘sinfonischen blasorchester wehdel’, dat onder leiding staat van dirigent Thomas Ratzek. In de vijf delen (white, yellow, blue, red andgreen) legt de componist verbanden tussen de instrumentatie en harmonische elementen en de kleur waar het betreffende deel voor staat. Om een grote klankrijkdom te creëren heeft Sparke een omvangrijk palet aan instrumentatie gebruikt,waaronder het lage houtregister, een harp, piano en cello’s. A Colour Symphony is een indrukwekkende en iconische aanvulling op het standaardrepertoire van het grote symfonische blaasorkest.

Phili p Sparkes dritte Sinfonie, A Colour Symphony, wurde vom Sinfonischen Blasorchester Wehdel, das von Thomas Ratzek geleitet wird, in Auftrag gegeben. In den fünf Sätzen (white, yellow, blue, red and green) stellt der Komponisteine Verbindung zwischen der Instrumentierung und den harmonischen Elementen sowie der jeweiligen Farbe, für die der Satz steht, her. Um eine möglichst große Bandbreite zu erzeugen, verwendete Philip Sparke eine sehr umfangreiche Instrumentierung mittiefen Holzbläsern, Harfe, Klavier und Celli. A Colour Symphony ist eine eindrucksvolle und hervorragende Ergänzung zum Standardrepertoire für sinfonisches Blasorchester.

La troisième symphonie de Philip Sparke, A Colour Symphony, fut commandée par le Sinfonisches Blasorchester Wehdel, dont le chef d’orchestre est Thomas Ratzek. Dans chacun des cinq mouvements (white, yellow, blue, red and green),le compositeur établit un rapport entre l’instrumentation et les éléments harmoniques, et la couleur réelle attribuée au mouvement spécifique. Pour créer autant de richesse que possible, Philip Sparke utilise une instrumentation variée qui comprendles bois de registre grave, harpe, piano et violoncelles. A Colour Symphony est un ajout impressif et iconique au répertoire de norme des grands orchestres d’harmonie.

La terza sinfonia di Philip Sparke, è stata commissionata dalla Sinfonischen Blasorchester Wehdel di Thomas Ratzek. Ciascuno dei quattro movimenti corrisponde a un colore (bianco, giallo, blu e rosso), in un inarrestabile sinestetico rincorrersi di suoni e visioni. L’orchestrazione è di quelle imponenti: legni, arpa, pianoforte e violoncello svolgono una parte fondamentale nell’opera di conferimento di ulteriore rigoglio arrangiativo alla sinfonia sparkiana.
