These eight little solos are intended to supply easy, descriptive pieces for the beginner horn player which are not only beneficial for technical development but will also be useful performance material. The tunes are characteristically horn-like in nature. A Huntingdon Celebration ist eine kurze, lebhafte Ouvertüre. In dieser abwechslungsreichen Komposition erscheinen verschiedene Themen und Phrasen einmal in einzelnen Instrumentengruppen, dann spielt wieder das gesamte Blasorchester. Die Fanfare der Eröffnung rundet schließlich ein Werk ab, mit dem Sie Ihr Ensemble von vielen Seiten präsentieren können. So setzen Sie Ihre Musiker ins rechte Licht! L’Orchestr e d’Harmonie du Comté du Huntingdonshire, situé dans l’Est de l’Angleterre, a été fondé en 1993. En 2001, les musiciens invitent le compositeur Philip Sparke, pour un week-end de travail consacré ses œuvres. De cette collaboration chaleureuse, naît l’idée de passer commande d’une pièce pour le 10ème anniversaire de la création de la formation, célébré en 2003. Philip Sparke leur compose A Huntingdon Celebration.Cette ouverture courte et vive débute avec une introduction écrite en forme de fanfare qui s’inspire du thème principal, exposé, dans un premier temps, par les clarinettes et les saxophones, puis par l’Orchestre d’Harmonie en entier. Cuivres et boisétablissent une conversation musicale qui mène l’introduction d’un second thème tout en legato, sur un accompagnement bouillonnant en croches. Le passage central, plus lent, développe un choral dans les registres ténors. Le tempo premier revient ensuite et le thème initial est exposé nouveau, amorçant la reprise de la fanfare d’ouverture qui vient conclure l’œuvre sur une note brillante. Questo breve e vivace brano d’apertura è ideale per iniziare un concerto. L’incipit è scandito da un tema in stile di fanfara eseguito dai clarinetti e dai sassofoni, sostenuto dall’intera banda. Dopo un corale centrale più lento, ritorna il tempo originale seguito dalla fanfara d’apertura che riappare portando il brano ad una trionfale chiusura.

Richard Ayres' Three Small Pieces for String Quartet each have distinct characters that illustrate the composer's vivid imagination and skill for combining energetic, touching and sometimes wild music. The first piece is a short tribute to the Romanian singer Maria Tanase, a long forgotten performer who was once a star in her country. The second is a rough, fast and folk-like section in 11/16 time and the third, subtitled 'Countess Eva von Spendu (on a horse) gallops through the forest (pausing four times to contemplate natural splendour)', contains (in the words of the composer) 'hunting gallops, a Feldmanesque 19 bar blues, some devilish fiddling, moments of repose and contemplation, and a lyrical finale.'.
