Jubiloso was commissioned by Utsunomiya Brass Society a talented and versatile group of brass players whom Philip Sparke has conducted on many occasions. When they asked him to compose a ‘signature’ march to celebrate their 30th anniversary they asked for a bright and breezy march which they could use to open concerts. Jubiloso is in the same ‘Broadway’ style as Sparke’s Slipstream and The Bandwagon with heavily syncopated melodies and the conventional cantabile trio section but also contains sudden bars with unusual time signatures which trip up the march rhythm.

Hercule (Heraklès en grec) le héros mythologique est célèbre pour avoir accompli Douze Travaux particulièrement difficiles. Sa force son courage et sa persévérance devinrent légendaires. Hercules est une œuvre palpitante qui se caractérise par une trame constituée de motifs bien ciselés de rythmes complexes de mélodies fluides et expressives et d’un finale grandiose. Les intervalles de quarte et de quinte qualifiés d’intervalles parfaits servent de base à la structure mélodique. Ils symbolisent la force d’Hercule. Le motif concis extrait de la fanfare d’ouverture se transforme en un thème rythmique énergique qui voyage à travers l’univers de chiffragesde mesures complexes avant de s’évaporer progressivement. On perçoit des échos de trompettes planant au-dessus de la cadence du saxophone soprano qui préfigure l’atmosphère feutrée du mouvement central lent. Une mélodie expressive et ample monte de l’orchestre. Elle s’ouvre avec les sauts de quarte et de quinte initiaux. Après plusieurs pérégrinations harmoniques la musique s’apaise. L’ allegro qui suit développe une fugue dont le thème dérive de la mélodie expressive. Une ligne polyphonique exubérante et bouillonnante flotte au-dessus du sombre ostinato des percussions (en 10/8) et chemine vers la reprise majestueuse du thème du mouvement central. Le finale (presto) est puissant. Chaque motif principal est réexposé. Hercules est un défi pour les musiciens et le chef. La trame foisonnante permet à chacun d’exprimer toutes ses compétences et tout son talent.

A Winter’s Tale s’ouvre avec une série d’accords soutenus joués par les bois et colorés par le timbre cristallin des cloches tandis qu’un saxophone alto chante une complainte crépusculaire. Un passage orchestral court mais dense prélude à l’exposition du thème principal. Les couleurs douces et vaporeuses enveloppent les champs et les forêts enneigés. L’orchestre reprend le thème tandis que l’on entend au loin un tintement de grelots annonçant le passage imminent d’une troïka. Une fois passée la musique s’apaise et le thème principal revient avant de laisser la place au motif d’ouverture qui vient conclure la trame musicale.

Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven 's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar.

German baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) was a self-taught multi-instrumentalist becoming a composer against his family's wishes. However his musical career saw him hold important positions and to this day he remains a major composer. His sublime 12 Fantasies for Flute is superbly arranged for Recorder by Jean-Claude Veilhan . Telemann composed his 12 Fantasies for solo Flute in 1732-33 in Hamburg. During this time he composed a wealth of solo instrumental music including those for Harpsichord and Violin. Veilhan's arrangement for Recorder of Telemann 's 12 Fantasies includes adaptions for the instrument such as key signatures and performance directions. Vailhan's rearrangement for the Recorder of Telemann 's popular 12 Fantasies makes the popular genre more accessible and versatile.

Utopia is the name of a book written by the English author Thomas More and was published in 1516. The title is a word thought up by More himself after the Greek language meaning Nowhereland and leading to the invention of the words utopian scheme and utopian. Utopia pictured an ideal state on an island far from the inhabited world. This idea was the basis of the composition. It makes one think of Oregon in variety of themes and style. Utopia also exists of a combination of styles that breathe the atmosphere of film music. However Utopia sounds less American. The slow and stirring middle part for example is closer to the European romanticism: the chord signals in the brasssection remind of Wagner's music.
