This fantastic contest march was composed for the Alexander Brass Band from Stavanger, Norway, who wanted a brand new march to play when they took part in the world-renowned Whit Friday March Contest. In the march Philip Sparke has followed the traditional brass band contest march format and it is named as a tribute to Alexander the Great, rather than the Alexander brass band, who were actually named after their local pub!
Philip Sparke schrieb diesen Marsch für die Teilnahme am berühmten Pfingstfreitag-Marschwettbewerb in England, zu dem jährlich einige der weltweit besten Brass Bands und tausende Besucher anreisen. So weist The Conqueror auch weitgehend die Form eines Wettbewerbsmarsches auf. Ganz im Sinne des passenden Titels Der Eroberer“ sollte es für jede Brass Band ein Leichtes sein, Juroren und/oder Publikum mit dieser Musik zu überzeugen!
Durante la stagione musicale delle brass band inglesi, c’è un appuntamento al quale gli appassionati non possono mancare: il celebre Whit Friday March Contest, un concorso all’aperto che ha luogo il venerdì dopo l’Ascensione. Si tratta di un evento cui partecipano anche formazioni straniere, tra cui la Brass Band Alexander di Stavanger in Norvegia, per la quale Philip Sparke ha composto questa marcia. The Conqueror fa parte delle marce da concerto tradizionali. Il titolo si riallaccia ad Alessandro Magno.
