Harlequin wurde im Auftrag des Euphonium-Virtuosen David Childs geschrieben. Inspirationsquelle der Komposition waren die frohlichen und traurigen Masken, die so typisch fur die Commedia dell'Arte - mit dem Harlekin als einen der Hauptcharaktere - sind. Philip Sparkes Komposition besteht aus einer langsamen modalen Ballade, gefolgt von einem fieberhaft schnellen Satz. Ein grossartiges Solowerk fur Euphonium und Brass Band!
