One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Philip Sparke’s sumptuous arrangement of this Stephen Foster classic will make a perfect item to bring a few minutes of peace and calm tranquillity to any concert. The lush harmonies, so characteristic of Philip Sparke’s arranging. Once you have played this once you will want it on every concert programme.

Veel van de songs van Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864), die onder meer Oh! Susannah, My Old Kentucky Home en Beautiful Dreamer schreef, waren erop gericht de zwarte Amerikaanse slaven een menselijker gezichtte geven. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schreef hij echter naar aanleiding van de afwezigheid van zijn vrouw toen hij in New York en zij in Pittsburgh woonde. De melancholie van de song komt in dit arrangement van PhilipSparke prachtig naar voren.

Viele Lieder des amerikanischen Komponisten Stephen Foster handelten von den schwarzamerikanischen Sklaven zur Zeit der Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Foster war ein gewissenhafter Arbeiter und verbrachte manchmal Monate damit, den Text eines Liedes zu perfektionieren. Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair schrieb Foster nach einer langen Trennung von seiner geliebten Frau. Dieses strahlende Werk ist ein ideales langsames Zwischenspiel für Ihr Konzertprogramm.

Stephen Foster (1826-1864), fu un compositore molto meticoloso. Dedicò a volte mesi al perfezionamento della scrittura di un testo. Conobbe il successo nel 1848 con Oh! Susanna e la crescente notoriet gli consentì di lasciare la provincia americana alla volta di New York. Ma il trasferimento non ebbe l’effetto desiderato, tanto che nel 1854 sua moglie Jane e sua figlia Marion ritornarono a Pittsburgh. L’assenza prolungata di sua moglie gli ispirò la canzone Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.

The lyrics to Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes can be traced to English poet Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare. The melody's origin, on the other hand, is not certain. In this three- movement arrangement, Philip Sparke provides the soloist with plenty of substance while respecting the beautiful simplicity of the original tune.

Vooral bij jonge musici is dit oude Engelse lied van onbekende herkomst buitengewoon populair. Met zijn arrangement voor trompet en blaasorkest dat uit drie coupletten bestaat werkte Philip Sparke de solomelodie iets uit. De eenvoudigeschoonheid van het origineel verloor hij daarbij echter niet uit het oog.

Dieses alte englische Lied nicht ganz geklarter Herkunft erfreut sich besonders bei jungen Musikern grosser Beliebtheit. In seinem dreistrophigen Arrangement für Trompete und Blasorchester arbeitete Philip Sparke die Melodie für den Solisten etwas aus, immer jedoch mit Rücksicht auf die schlichte Schonheit des Originals.

La chanson anglaise Drink to me Only with Thine Eyes a connu un vif succes des deux cotes de l'Atlantique pendant plus de deux siecles. Elle est particulierement appreciee par les jeunes musiciens. L'arrangement de Philip Sparke propose au trompettiste soliste une structure plus elaboree, tout en restant fidele a la delicate simplicite de la version originale.

Questa antica canzone inglese, di origini non ben definite, e particolarmente apprezzata dai giovani musicisti. In questo arrangiamento per tromba e banda, composto da tre strofe, Philip Sparke elabora la parte solista rimanendo pero fedele alla sobria bellezza dell'originale.

The Girl with the Flaxen Hair is the 8th Prelude in the 1st book and popular for its emotional depth, despite its technical and harmonic simplicity. Indulge your band with this delightful arrangement.

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) schreef zijn twee boeken met pianopreludes laat in zijn leven: tussen 1909 en 1913. De twaalf korte stukken in elk boek bevatten een rijke variatie aan stijlen, stemmingen en emoties. The Girl with theFlaxen Hair (La fille au cheveux de lin) is de achtste prelude uit het eerste boek, ze is geliefd vanwege de emotionele diepgang in de muziek, ondanks de technische en harmonische eenvoud. We weten niet wie het meisje in kwestiewas, maar deze mooie miniatuur roept levensechte beelden op.

The Girl with the Flaxen Hair ist ein Präludium des französischen Komponisten Claude Debussy und berühmt für seine emotionale Tiefe, trotz seiner technischen und harmonischen Schlichtheit. Wer das im Titel genannte Mädchen mit dem flachsfarbenen Haar war, ist nicht bekannt, aber diese wunderschöne Miniatur lässt sehr lebendige Bilder vor dem inneren Auge entstehen. Bewegend!

Composés entre 1909 et 1912, les deux livres de Préludes pour Piano comptent parmi les œuvres tardives de Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Chacune des vingt-quatre compositions - douze par livre - porte un titre évocateur. Elles révèlent une grande diversité de styles, de textures, de climats et d’émotions, et constituent un condensé de toutes les particularités du langage du musicien. Debussy a pris soin de n'indiquer les titres qu'en fin de morceau, de façon permettre chacun de découvrir ses impressions propres sans être influencé par des images ou poèmes existants. Le terme « impressionniste » prend ici tout son sens.La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin est lehuitième prélude du premier livre. Il est célèbre pour sa profondeur émotionnelle malgré sa simplicité technique et harmonique. Nul ne sait qui fut la fille aux cheveux de lin, mais cette miniature merveilleusement subtile réveille notre imaginaire.
