About this arrangement

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 4 SKU: BT.AMP-257-010 Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Midway Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2009. Anglo Music Press #AMP 257-010. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-257-010). 9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dutch.In Letter from Home Philip Sparke portrays the many feelings and emotions that a letter from home can evoke. This intimate work opens with a gentle woodwind melody, which gradually becomes more confused as new emotions are introduced. Finally resignation sets in, but a sense of peace and balance is restored with the final chorale. In this emotional work Philip Sparke truly captures the highs and lows of being away from home. In Letter from Home versuchte Sparke die Gefühle, die ein Brief aus der Heimat auslösen kann, einzufangen. In diesem intensiven Werk, das mit einer sanften Melodie im Holz beginnt, kurzfristig in einen Tumult umkippt, der sich zunächst in Resignation und im Schlusschoral letztlich wieder in eine friedvolle Stimmung verwandelt, wird die ganze Palette an widersprüchlichen Heimweh- und Sehnsuchtsgefühlen hör- und spürbar. Letter from Home traduce in musica le emozioni che si provano quando si è lontani da casa. Una lettera o una telefonata possono suscitare sentimenti di gioia o di tristezza, emozioni contrastanti che solamente la musica sa esprimere: serena, tormentata o rilassante.
