The test piece for this years Regional Championship is Philip Sparke's "A Tale as Yet Untold". The piece was commissioned by the Dr Robert Childs and Cory Band for the European Brass Band Championships in Linz, Austria, 2010, and their winning performance gave them a hattrick of victories at the competition. The theme of this impressive work, which is set in three movements, is one that recurs again and again throughout the music of Philip Sparke, the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and how the beauty of music can help in this respect.
