Description
Showcase the versatility and technical brilliance of your band with Philip Sparke’s Prelude and Scherzo. Originally conceived as a Trombone solo (or as a standalone ensemble piece), this work is a staple of contemporary brass literature. The Prelude allows the ensemble to explore lyrical lines and rich, atmospheric harmonies, while the Scherzo is a tour de force of rapid-fire rhythms and dazzling articulation. Sparke’s writing is both challenging and idiomatic, requiring tight ensemble work and individual virtuosity. This piece is a superb choice for a concert centerpiece or a contest program, providing a thrilling showcase of the modern brass band’s technical and expressive capabilities.
