Sunday in the Park was written for tenor horn virtuoso Sheona White, and commissioned by her partner, Matt Wade, as a Christmas present. Composer Philip Sparke had known and admired Sheona's playing for many years, having produced her first solo CD and writtenpieces for her previously. Both composer and performer are huge fans of the late Karen Carpenter, Sheona in part modelling her soundon the singer's sultry voice; so it was decided that this new solo would be a piece which, whilst not being a 'Carpenters' pastiche, paid tribute to their relaxed style and rich harmonic language. Sunday in the Park opens with an accompanied cadenza for the soloist, which leads to a gentle rhythmic melody with a laid-back feel. This is taken up by the band but the soloist sparks a changeof mood by introducing a faster light rock interlude. This reaches a climax, at which point the music unwinds until the original mood returns. A variation on the original melody leads to a short cadenza from the soloist, which brings the work to a peaceful close.

The 3rd String Quartet was originally composed in 1982-3 to a commission from The Adelaide Festival, and premiered by The Petra Quartet in 1983. Subsequent to this quartet, I have composed two more; No. 4 in 1986 and No. 5 in 2002.The offer to re-publish this work, led me to begin by a process of amendment, but ended in the composition of a virtually new quartet! Only parts of the original quartet have been retained. I also chose to 'frame' (in my case this means an inspirational focus and filter), the quartet in a new way too.In Flight Music keeps the 4-movement format of the original quartet, but is now directly linked to a life-long interest in flight. The first two movements are concerned with aspects of humans in flight, whilst the last two deal with insects and birds respectively.Since all my music is these days preceded by visualisations in the form of drawings, wherever possible, this quartet might be performed with the four drawings, one for each movement, back-projected behind the players.Digital copies of these drawings may be obtained from Schott Music.Edward Cowie.Maurens. France. August, 2010.

Over a period of four decades Jimmy Webb (b. 1946) has written hits for a number of singers including Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Linda Ronstadt. His songs are often epic in character and include By the Time I Get to Phoenix; Up, Up and Away; Didn’t We; Wichita Lineman and Galveston. MacArthur Park (1968) was unlike anything that had gone before it. Running at over 7 minutes, it is 2 or 3 times the length of most pop songs and has an extended orchestral interlude. Richard Harris’ seminal recording topped the music charts in Europe, while peaking at number two on the U.S. charts. Philip Sparke has made this excellentarrangement for fanfare band, which is sure to become a regular feature on your concert programme. MacArthur Park van Jimmy Webb, een nummer dat uitkwam in 1968, was niet te vergelijken met alles wat daarvoor was gemaakt. Met een duur van meer dan zeven minuten is deze song twee of drie keer zo lang als de meeste popsongs,ook het orkestraal tussenspel is bijzonder. Richard Harris’ originele opname stond bovenaan in de hitparades van Europa en op nummer 2 in de Verenigde Staten. Philip Sparke schreef een fantastisch arrangement dat zowel uw muzikantenals uw publiek zal aanspreken.Jimmy Webbs Musik kennt jeder: sei es als Musik zur Fernsehserie Emergency Room oder als einen der Hits von großen Stars wie Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt und vielen anderen. Mit dem Popsong MacArthur Park gelang Webb ein Riesenhit im Jahr 1968. Das Lied über eine verlorene Liebe ist ungewöhnlich lang für einen Popsong und enthält ein ausgearbeitetes Orchester-Zwischenspiel. Grund genug für Philip Sparke, diesen Hit für Blasorchester zu bearbeiten.Pendant plus de quarante ans, Jimmy Webb (1946) a composé des chansons succès pour divers artistes tels que Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash et Linda Ronstadt. En 1968, il écrit MacArthur Park, une chanson complètement novatrice. D’une durée de plus de sept minutes, elle est deux trois fois plus longue que la plupart des succès pop et contient un grand interlude orchestral. La version d’anthologie de MacArthur Park, interprétée et enregistrée par Richard Harris, s’est classée en tête des hit-parades européens et numéro 2 aux États-Unis.Per oltre quarant’anni, Jimmy Webb (1946) ha composto canzoni di successo per artisti come Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash e Linda Ronstadt. Nel 1968, scrive MacArthur Park, una canzone totalmente innovativa. Di una durata di oltre sette minuti, è da due a tre volte più lunga della gran parte dei successi pop e contiene un interludio orchestrale. La versione d’antologia di MacArthur Park, interpretata e incisa da Richard Harris è stata in testa alle hit-parades europee e n. 2 negli Stati Uniti.

Tijdens zijn conservatoriumjaren speelde Jacob de Haan in een skaband. â??Speciaal voor dit bandje schreef ik een nummer. Het was een deuntje dat me bijbleef. Vele jaren later, tijdens een wandeling in een stadspark realiseerde ik me,dat het nummer qua thematiek ook zeer interessant was om voor een orkest te arrangeren.â? Queenâ??s Park Melody hoort thuis in de categorie lichte muziek met barokinvloeden: een verwijzing naar de weelderig versierde beelden in hetpark. â??De combinatie barok en pop? Dat is toch heerlijk om te spelen!â?, aldus de componistâ?¦Während seiner Konservatoriumsjahre spielte Jacob de Haan in einer Ska-Band. Speziell für diese Band schrieb ich eine Nummer. Diese Melodie ist mir im Gedächtnis haftengeblieben. Viele Jahre später, während eines Spaziergangs im Park, kam mir der Gedanke, dass die Nummer thematisch auch interessant für ein Arrangement wäre.â?? Queenâ??s Park Melody gehört in die Kategorie ?Unterhaltungsmusik mit barocken Einflüssenâ??: Letzteres ist ein Verweis auf die üppig verzierten Statuen im Park. Die Kombination Barock und Pop? Das ist doch wunderbar zu spielen!â?? - so der Komponist...Pour cette composition, Jacob de Haan sâ??est laissé inspirer par lâ??ambiance qui règne dans Queenâ??s Park, un parc municipal visité par de nombreux promeneurs au printemps. Le style de cette Å?uvre est celui de la musique légère, avec des influences baroques renvoyant aux ornements somptueux des statues qui égayent le parc.
