Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Midway Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2001. 41 pages. Anglo Music Press #AMP 003-140. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-003-140).

This work was commissioned for The Berkshire Young Musicians Trust (England), who required a testing piece for the woodwind section of their concert band. The piece opens with a strong unison passage based on the interval of a fifth and develops with a passionate legato. This is followed by the main vivo section of the work based on the earlier 'fifth' figures. A bridge passage leads to a short chorale figure and a rhythmic climax which dissolves into a plaintive solo for oboe over staccato clarinets. Following a recapitulation of the main theme the oboe returns triumphantly before the opening unison passage reappears to provide a stirring coda.
