Prima Luce (First Light) was commisioned by the Holy Angels Elementary School located in Aurora (USA). The name of the town (which means dawn), the town’s great religious history and the fact that this town was one of the first in the USA to have streetlights were the inspiration for this Gregorian influenced atmospheric composition.

In The Four Noble Truths ('Die vier edlen Wahrheiten') hat sich Philip Sparke mit den vier Grundbegriffen der Lehre Buddhas befasst und sie in ein eindrucksvolles viersätziges Werk umgesetzt. Die Einteilung der Begriffe in zwei Paare - die Ursachen und die Reduzierung von Belastungen im Leben eines jeden Menschen beschreibend - spiegelt sich in zwei schnellen und zwei langsamen Sätze wider. Lassen Sie sich auf dieses faszinierende Werk des großen englischen Komponisten ein!
