Anyone know where I can get a recording of triptych? We're playing it at mo but I want to hear what other bands make it sound like. I'd also like peoples opinions on it. I quite like it, having has a bash at 2nd cornet, solo cornet and now rep am interested in others viewa.

As far as the piece itself is concerned I think it's fantastic - especially the second movement. Absolutely beautiful.

Definitely not 1st section I played it some years ago in the 3rd section, so I would guess its still a 3rd section / hard 4th section piece.

It's a great piece though - Phillip Sparke at his best

Hi Katie

I'm really pleased to see you're playing again

Yes, Triptych was definitely used for the 3rd section. We played it at Jackfield a few years back.

Hi Katej,

Triptych is a fantastic piece of music, and I'd say is realistically placed as a moderate 3rd section test piece or a hard(ish) 4th section test piece.

The central section is extremely emotional, and anyone who can write a significant section of a piece based on a fantasy on one note is very talented. Mr. PS certainly did a great job on this one. If I remember correctly, a G is played on one or more instruments all the way through that section... and it sounds totally fantastic.

Go for it, you'll love it I'm certain...

S'ok... Will forgive you this time, as it's such a cool piece!
