Manhattan was commissioned by the United States Army Band for their solo cornet player Woodrow English and first performed by them in Carnegie Hall, New York, in November 2003. The two-movement work demonstrates both the lyrical and technical abilities of this outstanding player. The 'theme' is a weekend in New York and the opening bluesy movement, Saturday Serenade, describes the city on a Saturday night. While writing Sunday Scherzo, the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park. This vivaciously rhythmic second movement ends with an even quicker coda bringing the work to a brilliant close. Each movement can also be playedindividually when a shorter solo is required.

Manhattan werd in opdracht van de United States Army Band gecomponeerd voor solotrompettist Woodrow English en vierde zijn premiere in november 2003 in de New Yorkse Carnegie Hall. In dit werk in twee delen komen zowel de lyrischeals de technische vaardigheden van deze fantastische speler aan bod. Het 'thema' is een weekend in New York en de bluesachtige opening, Saturday Serenade, beschrijft de stad op een zaterdagavond, wellicht in een rokerigjazzcafe. Bij het schrijven van Sunday Scherzo had de componist de vroege joggers in Central Park voor ogen. Dit levendige, ritmische deel eindigt met een nog sneller coda, dat voor een fonkelend slot zorgt. Beide delenkunnen afzonderlijk worden gespeeld wanneer een kortere solo wenselijk is.

Manhattan ist ein zweisatziges Stuck, das sowohl die lyrischen als auch die technischen Fahigkeiten des Solisten herausstreicht. Beide Satze konnen auch getrennt voneinander gespielt werden. Thema ist ein Wochenende in der Weltstadt New York: Tauchen Sie mit bluesartiger Musik in die rauchgeschwangerte Atmosphare einer Jazzbar ein, um dann am nachsten Morgen zu einem lebhaften Rhythmus durch den Central Park zu wandern...

Manhattan nous emmene a New York le temps d'un week-end. Le mouvement d'ouverture, Saturday Serenade, baigne dans l'atmosphere bluesy d'un samedi soir probablement passe dans l'ambiance feutree et enfumee d'un club de jazz. Avec Sunday Scherzo, Philip Sparke illustre un jogging matinal dans Central Park. Ce second mouvement, rythmiquement dynamique, se conclut sur une coda encore plus vive qui mene l'oeuvre vers une fin brillante.

Manhattan ci porta a New York per un week-end. Il movimento di apertura, Saturday Serenade s'immerge nell'atmosfera di blues di un sabato sera probabilmente passato nell'aria infeltrita e fumosa di un club di jazz. Con Sunday Scherzo, Philip Sparke descrive un jogging mattutino a Central Park. Questo secondo movimento, ritmicamente dinamico, si conclude su una coda ancora piu viva che accompagna il brano verso un finale brillante.
