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).Weiß 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).
