Wind in the Reeds was commissioned by Deena Draycott in memory of John Watson, an army bandsman, teacher and bassoonist. Wind in the Reeds is both a tribute and lasting memorial to John. The piece is largely pastoral in nature, evoking images conjured up by the 'play on words' in the title, but includes a faster central section which exploits other aspects of the character of the bassoon. Transitions between the various sections of the piece are achieved through a series of accompanied cadenzas for the soloist.

Sambezi

This substantive work is a set of four variations on the familiar hymn Ein Fest Burg.  A moto perpetuo, a slower march, a sinister treatment, and a fugue each form the basis of the variations before the final full recapitulation of the chorale tune.

Between the Two Rivers

This resplendent work takes its inspiration from the composer's first experience watching the sun rise over the glorious rock formations of the Grand Canyon.  This amazing natural phenomenon is portrayed here, with colors that become deeper and clearer as the Canyon slowly reveals itself in the early light of dawn.  From the thin textures representing the first rays of light, to the busy middle section depicting the arrival of the tourist buses, the grandeur and bustle of life on the rim of the canyon is brought to your concert stage!  A highly recommended programmatic work!

Pulcinella was commissioned by the Taiwanese euphonium player Tzu-Hsiang Lin. Lin is a renowned soloist and teacher and a Besson Euphonium Artist. He teaches euphonium at Taipei National University of the Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, Shih Chien University and National Kaohsiung Normal University. Pulcinella continues Sparke's series of euphonium solos named after characters of the Italian commedia dell'arte and opens with a long and expressive minor melody for the soloist over a brooding accompaniment. This is taken up briefly by the piano and is extended by the soloist after a change of key. A cadenza, accompanied by fragments of the main melody leads to a complete change of mood, tempo and tonality, introducing a Vivo section starting with a perky syncopated tune for the soloist. The piano then uses elements of this new tune to introduce a change of key, where the soloist introduces a more lyrical second subject over a pulsing accompaniment. The piano then takes this up and changes key to reintroduce the original Vivo melody, which leads to a short and acrobatic coda to bring the work to a spectacular close.

Songs and Dances is a festive and energetic work with an emphasis on music with a rhythmic, dance-like quality. Its three continuous movements are set in a fast-slow-fast form.

Songs and Dances

Slavonica! was commissioned by the Bloomsbury Music Group for the Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble. The composer wanted to create a set of three modern 'Slavonic Dances', which are strongly influenced by Dvorak's famous examples: an opening dance, a 'sousedska', and a lively 'skocna' accelerating to a whirlwind coda. These dances can be played either by a group with one player per part, or by a full concert band wind section.

Philip Sparke's third symphony, A Colour Symphony, was commissioned by "sinfonischen blasorchester wehdel" conducted by Thomas Ratzek. In the four movements (white, yellow, blue and red) the composer creates links between the 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 and celli. A Colour Symphony is an impressive and iconic addition to the standard repertoire for large symphonic bands.
