Second to None

Second to None是这部作品的一个非常合适的标题，尽管它实际上指的是 "i Secundus"，即英国军乐团的座右铭，是他们委托菲利普-斯帕克创作的。乐曲以大合唱开场，随后引用了军乐团自己的两首进行曲和欢快的Vivace。对于成熟的乐团来说，这是一首令人印象深刻的作品！时间6:45

原文简介:
Second to None is a perfectly suitable title for this work, though it actually refers to “i 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
