Perihelion was commissioned by the Cory Band as their own-choice piece for the 2013 European Brass Band Championships, held in Oslo, Norway. Winning the set piece section of the contest and coming second to Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag with their own choice selection, Cory went on to become European Champions for the fifth time.Cory MD Philip Harper had asked for a 'Concerto for Band' to fully exploit his outstanding band of virtuosi, and composer Philip Sparke created a one-movement work with contiguous sections, first featuring horns and flugel, then trombones followed by cornets and a slower central section for percussion and baritones, euphonium andbasses.The piece is abstract in nature, without a specific programme, and the title merely reflects the fact that the piece was begun on January 2nd 2013, the day of Earth's perihelion - the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun. It could also be argued that the piece weaves between moments of brilliant optimism and dark shadow, both of which can be the result of bright sunshine. Perihelion wurde von der der Cory Band als Selbstwahlstuck fur die European Brass Band Championships 2013 in Oslo, Norwegen, in Auftrag gegeben. Nachdem sie die Pflichtstuck-Sektion des Wettbewerbs gewonnen und mit ihrem Selbstwahlstuck den zweiten Platz hinter dem Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musiklag belegt hatte, wurde die Cory Band zum funften Mal Europameister.Der musikalische Leiter der Cory Band Philip Harper hatte ein 'Konzert fur Brass Band' in Auftrag gegeben, um das ausserordentliche Potential an Virtuosen in seiner Formation voll auszunutzen. Philip Sparke lieferte ihm ein einsatziges Werk aus aneinandergereihten Abschnitten, das zunachst die Tenor- und Flugelhorner,dann die Posaunen in den Mittelpunkt ruckt, gefolgt von den Cornets und einem langsameren Mittelteil fur Schlaginstrumente, Baritone, Euphonium und Basse.Es handelt sich um ein abstraktes, nicht programmatisches Stuck, dessen Titel sich lediglich auf die Tatsache bezieht, dass am 2. Januar 2013, als Philip Sparke mit dem Schreiben begann, das Perihel der Erde war - der sonnennachste Punkt der Erdumlaufbahn. Man konnte auch sagen, dass sich das Stuck zwischen Momenten strahlenden Optimismus' und dunklen Schatten bewegt, was beides der Wirkung strahlenden Sonnenscheins geschuldet sein kann.
