Sparke, Philip - Harlequin (Wind Band)

The piece takes its inspiration from the happy and sad masks which symbolise the Commedia dell'Arte (which features Harlequin as one of its main characters) and comprises two movements, a slow modal ballad follwed by a frenetic faster movement. This piece was commissioned by David Childs.   It is often considering "Pantomime 2" and has the some jovial, fun character.
