About this arrangement

Trumpet, Violin and Piano SKU: BT.MUSM570367443 Composed by Thomas Simaku. Classical. Score Only. 34 pages. University of York Music Press #MUSM570367443. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570367443). English.Thomas Simaku 's Solar for Trumpet, Violin and Piano. This work is based on Philip Larkin’s poem of the same title. Part of the High Windows volume (Faber & Faber 1974), Solar is one of Larkin’s well known poems, which have been described as a ‘piquant mixture of lyricism and discontent’. This was 'music to my ears', and having previously composed two other works - Plenilunio and Raggio Lunare - which ‘hover' on the same orbit, as it were, this particular poem immediately struck a chord with me: its astral, celestial, cosmological, lunar, stellar, planetary and universal associations (not to mention the energy here) gave furtherimpetus to my curiosity on both musical and extra-musical levels. - Thomas Simaku Duration: 9 minutes.
