Hanover Festival by Philip Sparke

[Tophornist]

Inspiring in both composition and performance

Hahaha, @iDavidC1097. I am jealous of second bands music this year.. Mr. Caswell picked great music. But anyways, this song is so good. The begining is great. The horn is gives me chills.

I play 1st part horn for this. :)))

And everytime I play it it's like "OOOOOOOO!!!!!" - (Angels singing like a boss)

[TheOsiriss2]

@iDavidC1097 Also play first horn for this, so manly!!! But at about 4:42 the clarinet solo has been replaced by YET ANOTHER horn solo, had to play in a concert and only the third horn turned up, and he's grade 3 :S . The bandmaster just said, "you're good" to me "you can play all the solos". I hate him so much, i thought my lips would fall off!

I'm having to play mallet percussion in this & it's stressing me out!): It's an amazing piece I just can't do it :L

@TwixKidd95 it get's easier once you feel how it fit's to the song i just had to do it for district music festival

This song pawns!

I like this piece, especially the upper woodwind parts, they are quite challenging.

However, don't you find that Sparke has very similar structures to alot of his music and that he seems to hate 1st Flutes and Clarinets?
