The special occasion that Philip Sparke was honoured to write this piece for was the 200th anniversary of the Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen. Since Bad Säckingen is known as the ??Trompeterstadt??, or trumpeter city, Sparke??s creative process was influenced by Joseph Victor Scheffel??s poem, Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter from Säckingen), 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.Overture for a Special Occasion is geschreven in opdracht van Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen ter gelegenheid van het tweehonderdjarig bestaan van het orkest, in 2011. De première van het werk vond plaats in januari van dat jaar,onder leiding van Johannes Brenke, de dirigent van het orkest. Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen, uit de gelijknamige plaats in het zuidwesten van Duitsland, werd opgericht in 1811 en is daarmee een van de oudste blaasorkesten in de regio.Het stadje Bad Säckingen (Bad betekent badplaats) staat bekend als ??Trompeterstadt?? en kan bogen op een trompetmuseum, dat in 1985 de deuren opende. Voormalig directeur van het museum was de bekende Amerikaanse trompettist en musicoloogEdward H. Tarr. De huidige directeur is Johannes Brenke, tevens de dirigent van het orkest. De nauwe band die het stadje heeft met de trompet dateert van halverwege de 19e eeuw, toen de schilder en schrijver Joseph Victorvon Scheffel het populaire epische gedicht Der Trompeter von Säckingen schreef. Het was gebaseerd op een waar verhaal en het gaf de naam van de plaats bekendheid over de hele wereld. Op het plein voor de kloosterkerk staateen standbeeld van Scheffel en zijn trompetspeler. Overture for a Special Occasion is feestelijk van sfeer. Het werk opent met een plechtige fanfare, die de luisteraar meevoert naar een vreugdevol molto vivace. Als verbindingtussen beide gedeelten dient een enigmatisch trompetgeschal: een eerbetoon aan de beroemdste inwoner van het stadje.Der spezielle Anlass??, zu dem Philip Sparke die Ehre hatte, dieses Stück zu schreiben, war das 200-jährige Jubiläum der Stadtmusik Bad Säckingen.

The cantata Hochsterwunschtes Freudenfest BWV 194 was composed for an organ dedication on 2 November 1723 in Stormthal, Saxony. A year later, and with just a few alterations, the cantata was performed again in Leipzig on Trinity Sunday. Our edition takes this Leipzig version of 1724 as its source. The special occasion of its composition is reflected in the extent of the composition which has twelve, instead of the usual six, movements. The orchestral scoring is for strings and three obbligato oboes. A special feature of the cantata is its structure as an orchestral suite. The beginning is a spirited opening chorus in the style of a French overture. The bass aria in the third movement has the character of a pastorale, and the following aria (movement 5) in turn has the character of a gavotte, etc. A simple four-part chorale concludes this multifaceted composition, marked by some extremely heartfelt moments.

The Overture to Ruy Blas, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's last overture, was not composed as an autonomously conceived score, but as the opening piece of a stage work. Nevertheless, its immediate success at the Leipzig first performance in 1839, as well as the fact that no further contributions to Victor Hugo's drama followed from Mendelssohn's pen soon made it well known in the concert hall. The work's special history, including several arrangements occasioned by various performances, led to the fact that the overture had its largest circulation in the version of the posthumous first edition on which this edition is also based.First printing posthumously 1851 (Rietz).

This “Grand Overture” was commissioned by the “Nagano Community Band” - Japan- on occasion of its jubilee in 1992 and is dedicated to the band’s conductor, Ikuo Inagaki.The work is based upon three main themes, each symbolising a certain theme. The first part is characterized by its bright themes played mainly by the brass, accompanied by the woodwinds and festive percussion. This part symbolizes the jubilee which is the origin of the composition. This is followed by a bouncing allegro, in which each register of the band displays brilliant techniques. Especially the woodwinds come to the fore! This movement depicts the industriousness and enthousiasm shown by the members of the“Nagano Community Band” in the carrying out of their hobby. A third, main theme, is choral-like in character and is displayed both in the (soft) brass as well as in the warm medium register of the reeds. Here, nature’s beaty in and around the city of Nagano is musically celebrated. Following a “chamber-music episode” (featuring the flute, oboe, clarinet, alto-saxophone and horn) the initial allegro re-occurs, weaving its way towards a grandiose finale, in which the two previous themes are once again apparent. Due to its very colourful scoring and the enormous diversity of musical thoughts and ideas, this composition is a fascinating and memorable piece, worthy a jubilee overture! Olympica is gebaseerd op drie hoofdthema’s. Het eerste thema wordt gekenmerkt door een stralende thematiek in het koper, omspeeld door het hout en feestelijk slagwerk. Dan volgt een pittig en virtuoos allegro, waarin met namede houtblazers uitgebreid aan bod komen. Het derde thema is koraalmatig van karakter. Na een kamermuziekpassage komt het allegro terug, dat uitmondt in een grootse finale. De kleurrijke instrumentatie en veelzijdigheid van dezecompositie maken een sprankelend optreden mogelijk.Die olympischen Winterspiele 1998, die nach 26 Jahren wieder einmal in Japan stattfanden, sind unvergessen: Mit 2302 Teilnehmer war eine Rekordteilnehmerzahl erreicht und die deutschen Sportler kehrten mit einer Rekordanzahl von 29 Medaillen nach Hause. Das Blasorchester der Austragungsstadt Nagano gab im Hinblick auf dieses große Ereignis Olympica in Auftrag - ein farbig instrumentiertes Werk mit abwechslungsreichen musikalischen Ideen, das fasziniert!En 1998, vingt-six ans après Sapporo, les Jeux Olympiques d'hiver firent leur retour au Japon. Nagano vivait et vibrait au rythme des exploits sportifs. Avec un chiffre record de 2304 athlètes venant de 72 nations, le dernier rendez-vous planétaire olympique du XXe siècle fut un succès. Pour célébrer cet événement l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de la ville de Nagano passe commande Jan Van der Roost. Le résultat est prestigieux. Ce sera Olympica : une œuvre fascinante aux multiples couleurs.
