This work was composed as ceremonial music, as part of a march medley for the participants’ entry for the 71st National Sports Festival and the 16th National Disabled Personnel Sports Festival, held in Iwate Prefecture in 2016. The European premiere of this piece took place in December of that year, the composer guest conducting the Young Musicians from Fribourg, Switzerland. This work, fusing Japanese folk song with march music, will have wide appeal, like the sister work March-Bou-Shu, also published by de Haske Publications.

Dit werk is gecomponeerd als ceremoniële muziek: het maakte deel uit van een marsenmedley voor de binnenkomst van deelnemers aan het 71e Nationale Sportfestival en het 16e Nationale Sportfestival voor Gehandicapten, gehouden in de prefectuur Iwate, in 2016. Deze combinatie van Japanse volksmuziek met marsmuziek zal veel muzikanten en luisteraars aanspreken, net als het zusterwerk March-Bou-Shu, dat ook door de Haske Publications bv werd uitgegeven.

Die europäische Premiere fand 2016 mit den Young Musicians aus Fribourg (Schweiz) und dem Komponisten als Gastdirigent statt. Im March-Chagu-Chagu vermischen sich japanische Volksmusik und Marschmusik zu einem exotischen Hörvergnügen.

This volume concentrates on 2/4 time and the keys of Bb major, Eb major, and Ab major. In addition, a helpful march warm-up section, composed by Larry Clark, is included to help you teach the march form and style to young students. There is also the added benefit of a full recording of each march performed by a professional band on the CD that is included in the full score. This is a valuable collection for any level band to use for marches at contest/festival performance or for sight-reading purposes.

Philip Sparke selected two well-known marches from the region around Southern Belgium and Luxembourg as the basis for his March Celebration: after we hear an original march theme and second theme in the bass, extracts from the Hammelsmarsh (Hammelmarsch) and the spirited Marsch der Ardennen-Jager, which has become a kind of unofficial national anthem in these parts. This festive march is rounded off with another appearance of Philip Sparke's original theme.

In March Celebration verwerkte de componist twee marsen uit het Zuiden van Belgie en Luxemburg. Na het eerste, originele marsthema en een tweede ‚bas'-thema, volgen fragmenten uit de Hammerlsmarsch en de meeslepende Mars van de Ardense Jagers, een mars die bijna kan beschouwd worden als een soort nationaal volkslied. Deze feestelijke mars van Philip Sparke eindigt met het beginthema.

Zwei berühmte Marsche aus dem südbelgischen und luxemburgischen Raum wurden in March Celebration verarbeitet: Nach dem ersten, originalen Marschthema und einem zweiten Bass-Thema folgen nacheinander Auszüge aus dem Hammelsmarsch (Hammelmarsch) und dem mitreissenden Marsch der Ardennen-Jager, der dort schon fast eine Art zweite Nationalhymne ist. Mit der Wiederaufnahme seines originalen Themas rundet Philip Sparke diesen festlichen Marsch ab.

March Celebration reunit deux celebres marches du Luxembourg et du sud de la Belgique, combinees a un theme original signe Philip Sparke. Apres l'exposition du theme original suivi d'une ligne melodique jouee par les basses, on percoit des fragments de la Hammelsmarsch (Marche des moutons). Cet air populaire fait partie integrante de toutes les fetes de village du sud de la Belgique et du Luxembourg. Puis vient l'exaltante Marche du Regiment des Chasseurs ardennais, devenue une sorte d'hymne pour toute la region. L'oeuvre se conclut sur la reprise brillante du theme original.

Philip Sparke arrangia due celebri marce provenienti rispettivamente della parte meridionale del Belgio e dal Lussemburgo. L'apertura vede l'esposizione di un tema originale che anticipa una linea melodica eseguita dai bassi. Seguono gli estratti della Hammelsmarch e della coinvolgente Marsch der Ardennen-Jaeger, divenuta una sorta di inno per l'intera regione. Philip Sparke conclude il brano con la riesposizione del tema originale.
