Overture for Woodwinds by Philip Sparke Concert Band - Sheet Music

By Philip Sparke
Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 4

SKU: BT.AMP-003-010

Composed by Philip Sparke. Band Section Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2001. 76 pages. Anglo Music Press #AMP 003-010. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-003-010).

This work was commissioned for The Berkshire Young Musicians Trust (England), who required a testing piece for the woodwind section of their concert band. The piece opens with a strong unison passage based on the interval of a fifth and develops with a passionate legato. This is followed by the main vivo section of the work based on the earlier 'fifth' figures. A bridge passage leads to a short chorale figure and a rhythmic climax which dissolves into a plaintive solo for oboe over staccato clarinets. Following a recapitulation of the main theme the oboe returns triumphantly before the opening unison passage reappears to provide a stirring coda.
