£76.99A Christmas Processional (Personent Hodie) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The melody of this Christmas carol comes originally from a Finnish songbook of 1582, containing a collection of 74 medieval songs together with Latin texts. The version arranged by Gustav Holst became very popular in the British Isles - with a text that links it to December 28, the Day of the Holy Innocents. Philip Sparke based his adaptation on Holsts powerful arrangement and has added various musical material himself.Duration: 2:30

£76.99Three English Folk Song Miniatures (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
England enjoys a rich folk song tradition. Composers such as Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams rekindled an interest in this heritage at the beginning of the 20th century by arranging numerous songs, some of which were transcribed for the first time. Philip Sparke selected three songs from the 18th and 19 century for his Three Folk Song Miniatures: the sherman's song Dance to Your Daddy, the love song O Waly, Waly and Bobby Shafto, a song from the northwest of England.Duration: 5:30

£149.99A Nottingham Festival (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
This celebratory work, which Philip Sparke wrote for the 20th anniversary of the Nottingham Concert Band, starts with a hymn-like theme played as a fanfare in the brass.

£164.99Overture for a Special Occasion (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
The special occasion that Philip Sparke was honoured to write this piece for was the 200th anniversary of the Stadtmusik Bad Sackingen. Since Bad Sackingen is known as the 'Trompeterstadt', or trumpeter city, Sparke's creative process was influenced by Joseph Victor Scheffel's poem, Der Trompeter von Sackingen (The Trumpeter from Sackingen), which is based on a true story. The overture starts with a majestic fanfare, followed by a lively molto vivace. It is joined by a brilliant trumpet call in honour of the city's famous resident.Duration: 7:30

£106.99A Medieval Christmas (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Christmas is full of customs and traditions, both old and new. This is especially evident in Christmas songs, some of which have been part of Christian worship for centuries. A Medieval Christmas combines three ancient melodies that are still popular around the world today. Philip Sparke chose Gaudete, a song of praise from the middle ages, Coventry Carol, an English song from the 14th century, and In dulci jubilo, which can also be traced back to the 14th century, to form this joyous suite.Duration: 6:45

£199.99Bolero (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ravel, Maurice - Sparke, Philip
Bolero was originally written as a ballet for a famous ballerina and achieved great success on the stage. Nowadays the ballet itself is only rarely performed and even though Ravel thought the orchestra would seldom play it, it has become one of the best-loved pieces for the concert stage. This arrangement by Philip Sparke keeps very close to the original score in this melodically and rhythmically unique work.Duration: 15:00

£106.99Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (Trumpet Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Callcott, J. W. - Sparke, Philip
The lyrics to Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes can be traced to English poet Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare. The melody's origin, on the other hand, is not certain.

£106.99White Light (Oboe Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip
Composer Philip Sparke decided to use the idea of white to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, colour and orchestration. He achieves this by using simple major and minor chords and emphasising the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band. He was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. A perfect way to put your oboist in the spotlight.Duration: 5:45
