For this work the Japanese composer Hayato Hirose dug deep into his own imagination to fi nd the right inspiration. It is about a young boy who dreams about reaching paradise (Arcadia) and sets out on a journey to find it. This journey is long and treacherous but despite the many challenges he faces the boy finally does reach his Arcadia. The result is a very dramatic work that will take your audience on a breath-taking journey.

These three movements for piano and band depict three stages of a musical journey. We set off on a long journey through the world of musical virtuosity in the style of Liszt : grand lustrous and lyrical. The second stage is a peaceful stroll the start of a dream. The colours are like a tender caress and the piano sketches transparent arabesques. This splendid impressionistic journey ends in two bright pink drops which evapore just in time before the third and last movement explodes.The last movement is driven forward by a raging rhythm as relentless as a war-dance. In a confrontation between the soloist and the orchestra all the inner strength of the composer comes to thesurface so that the musicians in the end are breathless... but all the same no less satisfied.

Par SPARKE PHILIP. A Centennial Journey est une commande de l’ensemble norvégien Stavanger Musikkorps av 1919 pour célébrer son centenaire, en 2019. L’orchestre a créé cette pièce sous la direction de Morten E. Hansen lors de son concert de jubilé au Konserthus de Stavanger, le 28 septembre 2019. La pièce s’ouvre de façon spectaculaire avec une ample mélodie aux cors et saxophones sous des figures fleuries aux vents, puis s’amplifie en un climax majestueux. Un trio pour les trombones apaise l’ambiance jusqu’au retour de la première mélodie dans une forme plus douce qui s’élargit finalement en un molto vivo élaboré. Les figures des vents se poursuivent sur une série de trios pour cuivres jusqu’à l’apparition du thème principal de la pièce par les clarinettes et les euphoniums. Ce passage se développe pour mener à un changement de tonalité et une longue mélodie en forme d’hymne par les clarinettes et les cors. Cette mélodie est alors reprise par l’orchestre entier, des fanfares se faisant entendre sporadiquement. Le début du molto vivo revient et mène à un retour de la mélodie aux cors du début, qui s’amplifie en une coda exaltante fondée sur la reprise de divers fragments mélodiques. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

The image of a path not taken may evoke a sense of mystery and excitement at the unknown, as well as the satisfaction of following our own individual path in life - a unique journey different from all others. This engaging work for band follows an arc of emotions ranging from the eager anticipation at the start of a journey; frustration and doubt as the path becomes more difficult and perilous; then elation and joy as the goal is reached and our dreams are realized.

In 2006 Brabant will be celebrating it’s 900th anniversary. On May 13th 1106 the count Van Leuven was appointed duke of Brabant. This was the birth of the duchy of Brabant. For centuries this duchy situated in the heart of the Netherlands was the primary of the seventeen provinces in the Lowlands. Brabant formed with it’s capital cities Brussels Leuven Antwerp and ‘s-Hertogenbosch the focal point for politics culture and economy. The revolution against Spain (1566-1648) caused a fracture between the North and South. The old duchy was divided into a Dutch and Belgian part. Even though each had their own historical background the bond forged in the past was partially keptalive. To this day we still have a duke of Brabant. Brabantia Aeterna takes you on a musical journey through 900 years of Brabant history. A fascinating journey portraying war and peace love and grief prosperity and adversity development and deterioration. Listen to how monks chanted bells tolled and churches were built. Or take the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries with their bustling markets builders of cities or the bleating of countless sheep across the heather. The plague tribulations soldiers and political bickering in the following centuries. Hear how the industrialisation of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries provided prosperity for the region and how to this day the following saying still applies: ‘the road to Brabant leads to a warmer world’ Brabantia Aeterna was commissioned by the Brabantse Bond van Muziekverenigingen (Brabant Music Society) in honour of its fifth anniversary.
