Brass Band and Euphonium Solo - Grade 4 SKU: BT.AMP-066-130
Eb Horn Solo. Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Midway Series. Festive and Solemn Music. Score Only. Composed 2003. Anglo Music Press #AMP 066-130. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-066-130). Aria was commissioned by and written for the remarkable tenor horn player, Sheona White. The work opens with an accompanied recitative, which leads to a change of key where the main melody is presented. This, in turn, serves as an introduction to another melodic idea, marked calmato. The band takes up this theme and then takes centre stage with a passionate repeat of the main theme, which is completed by the soloist. A cornet then plays the calmato theme against which the soloist plays a counter melody. This leads to a return of the opening recitative which brings the work to a peaceful close. A fantastic new addition to the solo repertoire for this much neglected soloinstrument.
Philip Sparke widmete seine Komposition Aria der großartigen Es-Hornspielerin Sheona White. In ihrem Auftrag entstand ein großartiges Werk, in dem sich Solist und Brass Band gegenseitig in schönster Weise gegenseitig ergänzen und beflügeln. Eine wundervolle Gelegenheit, Ihren Solisten am Es-Horn und die gesamte Brass Band angemessen in Szene zu setzen.
