Second to None

Second to None是這部作品的一個非常合適的標題，儘管它實際上指的是 "Nulli Secundus"，即英國軍樂團的座右銘，是他們委託菲力浦-斯派克創作的。樂曲以大合唱開場，隨後引用了軍樂團自己的兩首進行曲和歡快的Vivace。對於成熟的樂團來說，這是一首令人印象深刻的作品！時間6:45

原文簡介:
Second to None is a perfectly suitable title for this work, though it actually refers to “Nulli Secundus,” the motto of the British Corps of Army Music, who gave the commission to Philip Sparke. The piece opens with a fanfare, followed by two short quotes from two of the Corps' own marches and a festive Vivace. A more legato central section creates a nice contrast before the work closes with a return of the opening fanfare. An impressive statement for mature ensembles! Dur: 6:45
