To celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Stadtmusikkapelle Wilten in Innsbruck Philip Sparke composed Wilten Festival Overture. A bold fanfare, led by the horns, forms the opening of the work from which an expressive theme unfolds until the full band reaches a climax. Short solo statements from saxophone, horn and trumpet lead to a recapitulation of this theme which melts into a rhythmic Vivo. A robust melody is is then played by the clarinets and taken up by the whole band before a legato figure leads to a cantabile theme, again presented by the clarinets. The original Vivo melody reappears before the opening fanfare is briefly heard and the work comes to an end with ashort Coda. A great experience for the whole band!

Dieses Stuck wurde fur den 350. Jahrestag der Stadtmusikkapelle Wilten, Innsbruck kompniert. Dieses schon 1650 gegrundete Blasorchester kann sich ruhmen, auf so eine lange und ununterbrochene Geschichte zuruckblicken zu konnen. Wilten Festival Overture ist ein ausdrucksstarkes Stuck, das neben Solopassagen fur Saxophone, Horner und Trompeten manche musikalische Uberraschung bereithalt.
