for Oboe and Concert Band. White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band from Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece of intermediate difficulty, which include White in the title, as this is her lucky colour. Composer Philip Sparke decided to use this suggestion to write a pice that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, colour and orchestra, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band. He was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument - the piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. American Grade 3
