The power of this bright fanfare reflects the optimism joy and commitment to tradition that the people of the Italian town of Schlanders have deep within their souls. The golden trumpets from the valleys of South Tyrol echo across the mountains onboth sides of the Austrian-Italian border and help to convey the composers message: just as the sun shines on all parts of the world music knows no boundaries. This message echoes throughout this brilliant fanfare.

Philip Sparke chose Gaudete a song of praise from the middle ages  Coventry Carol an English song from the 14th century and In dulci jubilo which can also be traced back to the 14th century to form this joyous suite.
