The name 'English Suites' did not originate with Bach, and up to now its origin could not be clarified. In his Bach biography Forkel mentions that the composer wrote the suites to fulfil an English commission. It is a much more likely assumption, however, that Bach derived inspiration for his suites from studying certain English models. A stylistic relationship, and indeed, certain thematic identities can be pointed out between the English Suites and the suites of the French composer, Dieupart, who lived in London. The piano suites of Handel, published in 1720, shortly before the origin of the English Suites, could also have served as antecedents.The English Suites have notremained extant in Bach's own hand, but they are included in a number of contemporaneous manuscript collections. Relying on the most significant sources, our publication gives all the essential differences among the copies in footnotes, thus enabling the performer to choose for himself among the variants.

Norfolk is one of the most beautiful counties in England, famous for its charming villages and boundless broads, a popular centre for sailing holidays. It is also the home of one of the best known of all British composers, Sir Malcolm Arnold. The date of the premiere of this piece was to fall close to his 80th birthday, so Philip Sparke decided to write something of a birthday tribute. Some of Arnoldâ??s best-loved orchestral works are his sets of dances: there are two sets of English Dances, Four Scottish Dances, Four Cornish Dances etc., most of which have been arranged for concert band at one time or another. Philip Sparke thought it would be appropriate for the concert band tohave its own set of dances and wrote Four Norfolk Dances very much in the style of Arnoldâ??s suites. Norfolk, berühmt für seine prächtigen Dörfer und die ausgedehnte Seenplatte, ist eine der schönsten Landschaften Englands. Und es ist die Heimat von Sir Malcolm Arnold, einem sehr bekannten britischen Komponisten. Philip Sparke wollte diesem anlässlich seines Geburtstags eine Ehre erweisen. Zu den beliebtesten Orchesterwerken Arnolds zählen seine (englischen, schottischen und kornischen) Tänze, die gröÃ?tenteils für Harmonieorchester arrangiert wurden. Philip Sparke schrieb nun eine eigene Auswahl von Tänzen, die Four Norfolk Dances für Blasorchester im Stil von Arnolds Suiten.
