Spirit of Endeavour is a virtuosic piece of music with a positive musical message. It tells the story of a wind band embracing hard work, friendship, musical excellence, love, marriage and birth, as well as the sad loss of cherished members. Composer Philip Sparke decided to salute the history of the Canadian concert band 'Harmonie de Charlesbourg' with a work that falls into two contrasted sections. One Vision deals with forming the band and the subsequent united desire to create an ensemble espousing the idea of musical perfection. The Pursuit of Excellence salutes the 20 years of hard work of the wind band. This concert work ends with a chorale of thefull band, symbolising the fulfilment of a united dream!

Het werk weerspiegelt het verhaal achter de Harmonie de Charlesbourg vanaf het begin in 1993. Dat verhaal kent vele facetten en behelst verschillende aspecten van het menselijk bestaan: hard werk, vriendschap, het streven naar muzikale schoonheid, liefde, huwelijk en geboorte, maar ook het droevige verlies van gewaardeerde leden. Componist Philip Sparke besloot dit alles weer te geven in twee contrasterende delen: het eerste, One Vision, verklankt Francois Dorions vooruitziende blik bij de oprichting van het orkest en de daaropvolgende wens om een ensemble te creeren dat het ideaal van muzikale perfectie zou omarmen. Het tweede deel, The Pursuit of Excellence, is een odeaan twintig jaar van grote inspanningen waardoor de Harmonie de Charlesbourg de nagestreefde doelen heeft kunnen bereiken: inmiddels neemt het orkest een trotse plaats in binnen het muziekleven van Quebec.

Spirit of Endeavour ist ein virtuoses Blasorchesterwerk mit einer positiven Botschaft. Es erzahlt von der facettenreichen Geschichte eines Blasorchesters: harte Arbeit, Freundschaft, musikalische Spitzenleistung, Liebe, Heirat und Geburt und der Verlust geschatzter Mitglieder. Der erste Satz One Vision handelt von der Grundung und dem gemeinsamen Bestreben nach musikalischer Perfektion. The Pursuit of Excellence beschreibt 20 Jahre harter Arbeit der Formation, bevor ein Choral das Werk wurdevoll beendet.

Spirit of Endeavour honore l'histoire de l'Harmonie de Charlesbourg depuis sa formation, en 1993. Cette histoire aux multiples facettes embrasse tous les aspects de la vie humaine : le travail, l'amitie, l'excellence musicale, l'amour, lemariage et la naissance, ainsi que la perte douloureuse de membres aimes.

Le compositeur Philip Sparke salue cette histoire avec une oeuvre qui se divise en deux parties contrastees : la premiere, One Vision, reflete la vision deFrancois Dorion lorsqu'il a fonde l'orchestre, ainsi que le desir unanime de former un ensemble epousant l'ideal de la perfection musicale. La deuxieme partie, The Pursuit of Excellence,salue les vingt annees de travail acharne permettant al'Harmonie de Charlesbourg de realiser ses espoirs et de prendre une place de premier plan dans la vie musicale du Quebec.

Spirit of Endeavour (Spirito di impresa) Il compositore Philip Sparke decide di onorare la storia della banda da concerto canadese 'Harmonie de Charlesbourg' con un lavoro che si divide in due sezioni contrastanti. One Vision (Una visione) ha a che fare con la formazione della banda e il conseguente desiderio condiviso di creare un ensemble che abbracci l'idea della perfezione musicale. The Pursuit of Excellence (La ricerca dell'eccellenza) saluta i venti anni di duro lavoro della banda di fiati. Questo brano da concerto finisce con un corale dell'intera banda, che simboleggia il compimento di un sogno condiviso.

Writing a piece of music for Christmas . . . It's difficult. We all know Christmas carols and hymns, which in words and music express joy, expectation and light. Christmas and Christmas carols are the greatest joy of childhood - for me (for many others probably also) one of the strongest experiences of fulfilment, peace and happiness. Were I not able to write a piece for Christmas, then the thought of Christmas would even so create inspiration. The angels' song, the heavenly light, which is spread over the world - the world which is not evil, or false and hollow, but which is subjected to mankind's eternal, restless endeavour.The work is dedicated to Ensemble 2000.Peter Bruun.

After studying trumpet and cornet with such accomplished musicians as Louis Davidson (Cleveland Symphony), Herbert L. Clark (Famous Cornetist), Oscar B. Short (Soloist- GoldmanSousa - US Navy Band) and Bartlett L. Lyons (Sousa Band) - this list is a veritable who's who in the brass field, isn't it? And after having witnessed many times the solid effects of visual education, I commenced thinking about the possibilities of teaching music by means of pictures. The Chinese, in their own terse concise way, simply say, 'A picture is worth a thousand words', so perhaps that is enough said about the philosophy behind this instructional endeavour. But even the best of pictures - I should say here that the cartoons in this book are the products of Clyde E. (Bud) Morris of Akron, Ohio, whose amazing ability to transcribe my teaching ideas in picture form is the making of this entire unique presentation - even the best of pictures needs interpretation and explanation Therefore, I have made a list of suggestions to the reader, which will enable him to benefit fully from the Talking Horn.

Part I explores themes of love, regretting its loss and sometime futility. Part II, opening with the lightest song in the work, rapidly darkens to a nightmarish mood and concludes with the sonnet – fourteen lines – which, paraphrased, gives the work its title. Its succinct expression of the philosophical and technical dilemmas of the poet, as she struggles to put the violent and demonic tyranny of existential Disorder into the Order of the poem, is reminiscent of the age-old conflict of Dionysus and Apollo: the archetype which has underpinned so much artistic endeavour.

Poul Ruders STUDIUM: Concerto for 2 percussionsoloists and OrchestraAs indicated in the Latin title STUDIUM, this concerto is a study or etude for virtuoso percussion and orchestra and a composer's studium of the meticulous and patient building up a huge structure based on a very tight and sparse material. The title originally means and undertaking done with ardour and the wish to strive for the highest possible goal, a natural aim in any artistic endeavour. The orchestra and the soloists work in a body towards the off-centre placed climax, the technical level of the soloists increasing form ensemble status to stupefying virtuosic display, whereas the orchestra maintains its tightly composed surround-sound. What then happens shall remain a surprise.Poul Ruders.

Il luminations - Capriccio For Flute And Orchestra was composed by Erik Norby in 1977.

Programme Note:

The title should rightly be pronounced in French (same spelling), as the piece was composed for and is dedicated to French flute virtuoso Jean-Pierre Rampal, who premiered ILLUMINATIONS in connection withhimreceiving the Danish Sonnings Musikpris in 1978.
The title reflects my endeavour to create different illuminative effects in sound, for which the flute is an excellent medium, with its apparent ability to transform light
phenomena into musical shapes. Tue music in ILLUMINATIONS sometimes sounds like glitteringreflections, sometimes like a roaring bonfire. The absence of ordinary flutes in the orchestra further enables the soloist to shine above a darker orchestral background. Several motives and shapes are illuminated along the way, and the music progresses
in kaleidoscopic pattems of prismatic refractions.
Erik Norby.
