Philip Sparke a composé cette pièce pour le Western Plains Wind Consortium placé sous la direction de son fondateur Daniel Baldwin. La création fut assurée par l?Orchestre d?Harmonie de l?Université d?État de l?Oklahoma Panhandle (Dr. Matthew C. Saunders direction) le 1er décembre 2009 au Centennial Theatre à Goodwell en Oklahama (États-Unis). Les orchestres membres du Western Plains Wind Consortium qui ont contribué à la commande de cette œuvre sont :Garden City High School Symphonic Band - Ryan Elliot & Daniel Baldwin directionSouthwestern Oklahoma State University Wind Ensemble - James South directionPanhandle State University Band - Matthew Saunders direction Holton High School Band - Donald McDaniel directionHolcomb High School Band - Paul White directionBethel College Band - Timothy Shade directionGarden City Community College Band - Daniel Baldwin directionLa commande stipulait que l?œuvre devait synthétiser une ambiance hivernale sans référence au cycle de la Nativité. Philip Sparke a réalisé une scène d?hiver en pleine campagne. A Winter?s Tale s?ouvre avec une série d?accords soutenus joués par les bois et colorés par le timbre cristallin des cloches tandis qu?un saxophone alto chante une complainte crépusculaire. Un passage orchestral court mais dense prélude à l?exposition du thème principal. Les couleurs douces et vaporeuses enveloppent les champs et les forêts enneigés. L?orchestre reprend le thème tandis que l?on entend au loin un tintement de grelots annonçant le passage imminent d?une troïka. Une fois passée la musique s?apaise et le thème principal revient avant de laisser la place au motif d?ouverture qui vient conclure la trame musicale.

This short opening music was composed on commission of the symphonic band of Jan Van der Roost's village (= Kontich near Antwerp / Belgium). In 1991 this community band celebrated its 100th anniversary. After composing commissioned pieces from different countries (even from Japan) this was the most 'near' commission he ever received indeed!It is a short but varied piece featuring all sections of the band. After a short introduction played by the brass instruments a crisp rhythm starts and boxes the main theme. After a second theme played by brass and percussion a short melodical passage brings some 'rest'. At the end the fanfare of the introductionreoccurs.Although this 'Centennial Prelude' isn't a really demanding piece it sounds colourful and energetic. It has been recorded on CD by the band of the 'Royal Dutch Airforce' and the 'Desford Colliery Brass band'.

Funeral Music On Themes From Euryanthe-Wagner composed Trauersinfonie as a march for the torchlight procession for the ceremony of the transference of Carl Maria von Weber's remains to his native land eighteen years after his death in London. The march which Wagner scored for a large wind band was based on two themes from Weber's opera Euryanthe and so represented a musical homage to the earlier composer.Trauersinfonie is a deeply moving and expressive piece filled with a spacious and majestic solemnity. Wagner composed this work for a large wind band; however it has been revised for symphonic band by Erik Leidzen.
