In 2006, a long-time dream of Philip Sparke finally became reality: to compose a set of variations on the famous chorale from Saint-Saëns’ renowned Organ Symphony. In 2009 the composer reworked the piece for brass band. The resulting Saint-Saëns Variations has been simplified, shortened and in many places completely recomposed, to distill the essence of the symphony even further and allow younger bands to enjoy the power of Saint-Saëns’ masterpiece in an approachable, yet completely faithful, work.

2006 erfüllte sich Philip Sparke den lang gehegten Wunsch, eine Reihe von Variationen über den berühmten Choral aus Saint-Saëns’ Orgelsinfonie zu schreiben. Die 2009 daraus entstandenen Saint-Saëns Variations sind vereinfacht, gekürzt und an manchen Stellen auch völlig neu komponiert, um die Essenz der Sinfonie noch besser herauszukristallisieren und tiefer besetzten Brass Bands einen gut spielbaren und dennoch im Kern originalgetreuen Zugang zu dem kraftvollen Meisterwerk von Saint-Saëns zu ermöglichen.
