Philip Sparke was so inspired and moved by his first visit to New York, that he had to capture the moment in one of his compositions. At first a general picture of New York is presented as all the sights and sounds are taken it. Eventually the composer finds himself in Manhattan. Walking along a street, music can be heard wafting from one of the jazz-clubs. This musical representation of personal impressions creates an extremely memorable work. New York, eine der größten und vielseitigsten Metropolen der Welt, kann vielerlei Eindrücke hinterlassen. Zu den Impressionen, die Philip Sparke einfing, gehören das gesamte Stadtbild, aufregende erste Erfahrungen in Manhattan, eine schnelle Straßenszene“ und Musik, die beim Vorübergehen aus einem der vielen Jazzclubs dringt. Positiv bestätigte Klischees und ganz persönliche Eindrücke stecken in dieser musikalischen Beschreibung eines Wochenendes in New York.Questa composizione riunisce una successione d’impressioni vissute durante un week-end nella “Grande melaâ€. Il brano inizia con una descrizione del paesaggio urbano. La trama continua su un’aria di blues, tranquillo e disinvolto. Un passaggio rapido interrompe la tranquillit : la musica evoca una scena in una delle avenue più traffi cate di New York. Dal centro dell’orchestra arriva una melodia travolgente: le porte di un club di jazz sono rimaste aperte. New York non finisce mai di sorprendere.

Also available for trumpet and piano (HL44005496) Manhattan was commissioned by the United States Army Band for their trumpet soloist Woodrow English, and first performed by them in Carnegie Hall, New York, in November 2003. Wanting to write a piece that demonstrated both the lyrical and technical abilities of this outstanding player, the composer decided on a two-movement work showcasing these qualities, and with the intention that the movements could be played individually when a shorter solo is required. The theme is a weekend in New York, and the opening bluesy movement (Saturday Serenade) describes the city on a Saturday night, perhaps in a smoke-filled jazz bar. While writing Sunday Scherzo, the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park. This vivaciously rhythmic movement ends with an even quicker coda which brings the work to a brilliant close.
