About this arrangement

Concert Band (Score & Parts) - Grade 2.5 SKU: HL.44010664 Concert Band Score and Parts. Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Concert Band. Concert, Irish. Full Score and Parts. Anglo Music Press #AMP273010. Published by Anglo Music Press (HL.44010664). UPC: 884088510503. 9x12 inches.The inspiration for this piece came from the address of the person who commissioned the work: Morse Street, Houston, Texas. It pays tribute to the immense skill of the engineers who succeeded in submerging a wire across the Atlantic to send messages in morse code from America to Europe. This technical ingenuity provided the perfect source of material for a transatlantic musical message. This work explores the vast expanse of the Atlantic and makes use of Irish melodies to celebrate the point where the cable enters into the Atlantic Ocean. Duration: 6:55.
