Sanctuary was commissioned by Eastern Bay of Plenty Brass from New Zealand and was performed as an own choice piece at the 2018 New Zealand National Brass Band Championships. It opens with an expressive cornet solo, hymn-like in mood. A slightly faster central section builds to a change of key and an expansive return of the opening melody, this time scored for full band. After an emotional climax the mood subsides, leading to a quiet close. Sanctuary werd geschreven in opdracht van Eastern Bay of Plenty Brass uit Nieuw-Zeeland en werd uitgevoerd als zelfgekozen werk tijdens de New Zealand National Brass Band Championships van 2018. Het werk opent met een expressieve kornetsolo, die qua atmosfeer veel weg heeft van een hymne. Een iets sneller middengedeelte werkt toe naar een verandering van toonsoort en een grootse terugkeer van de openingsmelodie, deze keer getoonzet voor de complete band. Na een emotioneel hoogtepunt wordt de muziek kalmer van sfeer en mondt ze uit in een rustig slot.Sanctuary wurde von der Eastern Bay of Plenty Brass aus Neuseeland in Auftrag gegeben und als Selbstwahlstück bei den New Zealand National Brass Band Championships 2018 aufgeführt. Das Stück beginnt mit einem ausdrucksvollen Kornett-Solo in der Art eines Kirchenliedes. Ein etwas schnellerer Mittelteil führt zu einem Tonartwechsel und einer ausführlichen Rückkehr der Anfangsmelodie, die nun von der gesamten Brass Band gespielt wird. Nach einem emotionalen Höhepunkt beruhigt sich die Stimmung und mündet in einen ruhigen Schluss.Sanctu ary est une commande de l’ensemble néo-zélandais Eastern Bay of Plenty Brass, qui l’a interprétée en tant qu’œuvre libre « contemplative » au Championnat national de brass bands de Nouvelle-Zélande 2018. La pièce s’ouvre avec un solo de cornet expressif évoquant un hymne. Un passage central un peu plus rapide mène un changement de tonalité avant un retour majestueux la mélodie du début, cette fois faisant appel l’orchestre entier. Après un climax chargé d’émotion, la musique s’apaise pour aboutir une conclusion sereine.

Also available for euphonium and piano (HL44010860) Scaramouche was commissioned by Katrina Marzella with a grant from the BBC Performing Arts Fund. Undoubtedly the finest baritone player of her generation, Ms. Marzella was granted an education bursary from the BBC Performing Arts Fund (as a result of winning BBC Radio 2's Young Brass Soloist of the Year in 2004), which allowed her to commission a series of new works for euphonium. Scaramouche continues Sparke's series of works that highlights the Italian theatre tradition of commedia dell'arte. Like its predecessors Pantomime and Harlequin, Scaramouche draws on the contrasting moods of pathos and comedy characterized by the symbolic happy/sad masks of European theatre. A slow, expressive ballad followed by a spirited vivace allows the composer to exploit both the lyrical and technical sides of the instrument, and the soloist to display its full capabilities.
