I've never heard the piece before this, well played!

What horn did you use?

It's the Philip Sparke who has written many, many fine compositions for British-style brass band, concert band, other ensembles, and solo pieces.

Are there two Philip Sparkes then?

The tuba world needs to know.

Philip Sparke is one of the great band-music composers of this time.
Check out his site:

I played 'Aubade' and will play 'euphonium concerto' this year.
These are great challenges and beautiful to listen to.
Check out 'Harlequin' for euphonium and brass band if you need a challenge.

Sparke is addictive...

Was very fun! Really enjoyed it

I used my York Preference EEb (but the bass clef part :p)

Last year one of the pieces I played was Martin Ellerby's Tuba Concerto, that was quite fun too and similar kind of thing, have you played it?

When I get the track from the guy who recorded it for me ill post it

dunno how it sounded myself though yet, was in a really duff room, but hopefully it'll be okay!
