A Colour Symphony - Philip Sparke

Philip Sparke's third symphony, A Colour Symphony, was commissioned by "sinfonischen blasorchester wehdel" conducted by Thomas Ratzek. In the five movements (white, yellow, blue, red and green) the composer creates links betweenthe instrumentation and harmonic elements and the actual colour of the spectrum the movement stands for. In order to create the greatest richness possible, Philip Sparke used a very large instrumentation including low woodwinds, harp, piano andcelli. A Colour Symphony is an impressive and iconic addition to the standard repertoire for large symphonic bands.

A Cool Six - Mark Hendriks

A Cool Six' is a small tribute to Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck. Two giants who renewed jazz just after the Second World War. Miles Davis with his modal 'cool' jazz and Dave Brubeck with his unusual timing. 'A Cool Six' combines concepts of both gentlemen. A simple melody alternated in E-dorian and E-minor in a 6/4 beat time, however, including all characteristics of Big Band Swing Music. The title of this piece refers to the albums 'Birth of the Cool' from Davis (1957) and 'Time Out' from Brubeck (1959)Both albums inspired Mark Hendriks to write this mesmerizing piece for Concert Band nd Big Band!
