Between the Two Rivers - Variations on Ein' feste Burg, Philip Sparke - Concert Band

Between the Two Rivers
Item No. AMP 061-010
 
Between the Two Rivers was commissioned by Fanfare Prins Hendrik, from Aalst in the Netherlands. The title derives from the fact that the town of Aalst lies between two tributaries of the River Dommel. The community is a highly religious one, so the famous Luther chorale, Ein Feste Burg, was an obvious choice for Philip Sparke to use as the theme for this new work. It takes the form of a theme with four contrasting variations.

• Variation 1 is a moto perpetuo, variation 2 has a slower march like feel, variation 3 is a sinister slow movement and the final variation is in the form of a lyrical fugue.

Between The Two Rivers is sure to become a major work in modern concert band repertoire.
