In Letter from Home Philip Sparke portrays the many feelings and emotions that a letter from home can evoke.

Pastorale- Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven 's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven 's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony (No.9) which came down to the publisher in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world. Since publication Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors performers and critics alike and has become the most widely used publication ofthe Beethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner David Zinman Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado. Full scores study scores and complete performance material to Beethoven ’s Nine Symphonies are available for sale.

Festival Prelude ‘Ad Excel’ was commissioned by the AD Concert Band from Solihull in the UK to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2016. The title Ad Excel is a play on words: it is Latin for ‘to excel’ but also celebrates the band’s anniversary as XL is 40 in Roman numerals. The work opens with a bright fanfare with frequent changes of meter. This leads to a playful main subject played first by woodwinds followed by full band. A bridge passage leads to a legato second subject played twice. The bridge passage returns to introduce the both main melodies in new keys and instrumentations before a coda derived from the opening fanfare brings the work to a close.
