Reflections was composed for the Japanese Trombone Quartet Zipang. The composer was so impressed by the quality of the quartet’s ensemble playing, blend and balance that he wanted to write a piece that would exploit these factors to the full. So the work is almost ‘conversationalâ ™, with the four players assuming equal roles and separately moving the musical argument forward. Reflections is na Tokyo Tryptich het tweede werk dat in opdracht van het Japanse trombonekwartet Zipang geschreven werd. Ge nspireerd door het uitgebalanceerde samenspel van de muzikanten, schreef Philip Sparke een werkwaarbij hij de nadruk legt op dit talent. Het werk is een dialoog tussen de volstrekt gelijkwaardige stemmen, een muzikaal debat waarin elk van de vier spelers zijn of haar mening mag geven.Reflecti ons ist nach Tokyo Tryptich das zweite Werk, das vom japanischen Posaunenquartett Zipang in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Begeistert vom ausgewogenen Zusammenspiel dieser Musiker, schrieb Philip Sparke ein Stück, das diese Fähigkeit besonders hervorheben sollte. So ist Reflections fast ein Dialog zwischen gleichberechtigten Stimmen, die in der musikalischen Debatte alle ihre eigene Meinung“ beisteuern dürfen. Reflections est, après Tokyo Tryptich, la deuxième oeuvre composée pour le Quatuor de Trombones Zipang, un ensemble professionnel constitué des plus éminents trombonistes du Japon. Impressionné par l‘interaction équilibrée entre ces musiciens, Philip Sparke écrivit cette pièce mettant en avant cette incroyable capacité. Reflections est un dialogue ouvert voix égales, où chacun exprime sa propre opinion. Reflections, è dopo Tokyo Tryptich il secondo brano commissionato a Philip Sparke dal Quartetto di Tromboni Zipang. Impressionato dalle qualit del quartetto, Sparke ha composto un brano che lo valorizzasse ulteriormente.

To hear a recording of this piece, please visit the Hal Leonard MGB Concert Band page at https://www.youtube.com/c hannel/UCeHzOLTDBDG2pZX6f YtaxSwBased on the traditional Japanese tune â??Suiryo-Bushi,â? Reflections on an Old Japanese Folk Song opens with two contrasting statements of the melody - first sparsely presented by the woodwinds and then in a harmonized version played by the full band. This is followed by a lively section based on pentatonic melodies that characterize the folk tune. The following slower variation first centers around a plaintive English horn melody made up of sections of the original tune, and later presents the opening phrases of â??Suiryo-Bushiâ? against an intensely florid accompaniment. The final section is in the form of a scherzo that eventually forms the accompaniment to a final presentation of the folk tune. Duration: 8:30.
