White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band from Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece, of intermediate difficulty, which included White in the title, as this is her lucky colour. Composer Philip Sparke decided to use this suggestion to write a piece that was bright and light in terms of harmony and colour, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on pure and transparent timbres. He was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument - the piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. Also available for oboe and concert band (AMP317-010/140). Wit is de gelukskleur van het opdrachtgevende orkest van dit uitdagende solowerk voor hobo en piano. Philip Sparke schreef daarom een opgewekte compositie. Het zwaartepunt ligt op de heldere klanken van het hoge hout en de harmonie,klankkleur en instrumentatie is helder en doorzichtig.Ook verkrijgbaar voor hobo en harmonieorkest (AMP 317-010/140).Wei Ÿ ist die Glücksfarbe des auftraggebenden Blasorchesters und daher im Titel dieses Solowerks für Oboe und Klavier. Passend dazu schuf Philip Sparke ein Stück, das sowohl heiter als auch hell in seiner Harmonik, seinen Farben und seiner Orchestrierung ist, viele einfache Dur- und Mollakkorde enthält und den Schwerpunkt auf die klaren Klänge der hohen Holzbläser im Orchester legt. Ebenfalls erhältlich für Oboe und Blasorchester (AMP 317-010/140).Les indications données étaient les suivantes : une pièce modérément lente et de difficulté moyenne ; enfin, le mot ‘blanc ‘ devait figurer dans le titre, faisant ainsi allusion la couleur fétiche de l'orchestre dédicataire. C'est en s'inspirant de ces quelques éléments que Philip Sparke composa White Light, une pièce lumineuse et harmonieusement légère. De caractère pastoral et de style plutôt baroque, White Light expose avec passion la quintessence du hautbois. Disponible en version Hautbois et piano, elle existe également pour Hautbois solo et orchestre d'harmonie.In questo lavoro per oboe solista e pianoforte, Philip Sparke crea un pezzo che è allo stesso tempo allegro e luminoso nella sua armonia e nei colori, e che nell'orchestrazione contiene molti semplici accordi maggiori e minori. Disponibile anche per oboe e banda (AMP 317-010/140).

White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band in Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece of intermediate difficulty that included the work “white” (Ms. Teramoto's lucky color) in the title. The composer used this suggestion to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, color and orchestration, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band; he was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. The piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. It opens with a chorale-like passage on flutes and clarinets; the soloist enters with a recitative over trilling clarinets. The main theme is then introduced, accompanied by the woodwinds. After a short bridge passage, a change of key heralds a second theme by the soloist, with gentle brass punctuations. This builds to a climax, ending on a high trill from the soloist. After short passage over a timpani roll, the band recalls the main theme, taken up once again by the soloist. This leads to a short cadenza before the closing bars bring the work peacefully to a close.

John Luther Adams' The Light That Fills the World for Chamber Ensemble (6 players). Duration: 13 minutes. The Light That Fills the World was written in late winter and early spring when - following the long darkness of winter - the world is still white and filled with new light. If the unrelenting texture of this music embodies stasis, I hope its prevalent tone evokes the ecstatic. The title of the piece is borrowed from an Inuit song which sings of the close relationship between beauty and terror, risk and revelation. - John Luther Adams, Fairbanks, Alaska, August 1999 Includes Score and parts plus spiral-bound keyboard part.

This work takes both its name and inspiration from a lighthouse “Sword Cape†that keeps watch near Japan’s naval base. The piece describes how, come rain or shine, the lighthouse bids a safe journey to departing ships, guides them during their travels and eventually welcomes them home again. The music evokes many musical images - grand ships sailing by, white-capped waves, the deep blue of the ocean and the light of ‘sword cape†as it silently guides ships over the mysterious waters.Dieses Werk wurde von einem Leuchtturm mit dem Namen Schwert-Kap“ inspiriert, der in der Nähe des Marinestützpunkts von Japan steht. Es beschreibt, wie die Schiffe bei jedem Wetter von diesem Leuchtturm verabschiedet, auf ihrem Weg geleitet und bei der Rückkehr willkommen geheißen werden. Dabei entstehen verschiedene musikalische Bilder vor dem inneren Auge des Zuhörers: das Vorbeiziehen eines Schiffes, weiße Wellen blauer See oder das Licht des Leuchtturm auf dem stillen Wasser bei Nebel.Light of the Sword è un brano commissionato a Sakai dalla Banda Militare delle Forze marittime di autodifesa giapponesi di stanza nel porto di Yokosuka nella baia di Tokio. L’origine del titolo ha due significati: da una parte si ispira al faro di Tsurugizaki (letteralmente “estremit della spadaâ€), la cui luce serve come punto di riferimento tra la terra ed il mare, e dall’altra alla luce emanata dalla spada che appartiene alla grande tradizione degli ufficiali di marina. Una marcia luminosa!

This composition tells the story of a quest to find truth, which is relative and constantly changing. It is often to be found in the place where water becomes steam, somewhere in Between on the dividing line between Ying and Yang, somewhere in a twilight zone between dark and light, between Black and White. Black, White & In Between was conceived as a concertino for violin and string orchestra. It has been recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under direction of the composer with Marta Abraham as soloist.
