for Eb Horn and Piano. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Sunday in the Park (Un Dimanche au Parc) a été écrite pour Sheona White, virtuose du saxhorn alto, et commandée par son partenaire, Matt Wade, comme cadeau de Noël. Le compositeur Philip Sparke connaissant et admirant Sheona depuis longtemps, avait précédemment produit son premier CD en solo et écrit des pièces pour elle. La saxhorniste, tout comme le compositeur, est une fan inconditionnelle de Karen Carpenter, modelant en partie ses sonorités sur la voix voluptueuse de la chanteuse. Il fut donc décidé que ce nouveau solo serait une pièce qui, sans être un pastiche des Carpenters, rendrait hommage à leur style décontracté et leur riche langage harmonique. Sunday in the Park débute avec une cadence accompagnée pour la soliste suivie d’une mélodie délicatement rythmique et détendue. Cette mélodie est reprise par le piano mais la soliste engendre un changement de climat avec l’introduction d’un interlude plus rapide de style rock. La musique atteint son point culminant, puis s’apaise pour revenir au climat du début. Une variation sur la mélodie d’origine mène à une courte cadence de la soliste qui conduit la pièce à une conclusion tranquille. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Cor en Eb et Piano

Sunday in the Park was written for tenor horn virtuoso Sheona White, and commissioned by her partner, Matt Wade, as a Christmas present. Composer Philip Sparke had known and admired Sheona's playing for many years, having produced her first solo CD and writtenpieces for her previously. Both composer and performer are huge fans of the late Karen Carpenter, Sheona in part modelling her soundon the singer's sultry voice; so it was decided that this new solo would be a piece which, whilst not being a 'Carpenters' pastiche, paid tribute to their relaxed style and rich harmonic language. Sunday in the Park opens with an accompanied cadenza for the soloist, which leads to a gentle rhythmic melody with a laid-back feel. This is taken up by the band but the soloist sparks a changeof mood by introducing a faster light rock interlude. This reaches a climax, at which point the music unwinds until the original mood returns. A variation on the original melody leads to a short cadenza from the soloist, which brings the work to a peaceful close.

A Stroll in the Park is a piece in the tradition of “walking music” (such as the “Promenade” from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition or Gershwin's “Walking the Dog” from Shall We Dance). It strives to describe the joyful benefits of a relaxing walk in a city park on a summer Sunday afternoon, and should be played in a relaxed, carefree and laidback manner.
