Over a period of four decades Jimmy Webb (b. 1946) has written hits for a number of singers including Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Linda Ronstadt. His songs are often epic in character and include By the Time I Get to Phoenix; Up, Up and Away; Didn’t We; Wichita Lineman and Galveston. MacArthur Park (1968) was unlike anything that had gone before it. Running at over 7 minutes, it is 2 or 3 times the length of most pop songs and has an extended orchestral interlude. Richard Harris’ seminal recording topped the music charts in Europe, while peaking at number two on the U.S. charts. Philip Sparke has made this excellentarrangement for concert band, which is sure to become a regular feature on your concert programme.

MacArthur Park van Jimmy Webb, een nummer dat uitkwam in 1968, was niet te vergelijken met alles wat daarvoor was gemaakt. Met een duur van meer dan zeven minuten is deze song twee of drie keer zo lang als de meeste popsongs,ook het orkestraal tussenspel is bijzonder. Richard Harris’ originele opname stond bovenaan in de hitparades van Europa en op nummer 2 in de Verenigde Staten. Philip Sparke schreef een fantastisch arrangement dat zowel uw muzikantenals uw publiek zal aanspreken.

Jimmy Webbs Musik kennt jeder: sei es als Musik zur Fernsehserie Emergency Room oder als einen der Hits von großen Stars wie Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt und vielen anderen. Mit dem Popsong MacArthur Park gelang Webb ein Riesenhit im Jahr 1968. Das Lied über eine verlorene Liebe ist ungewöhnlich lang für einen Popsong und enthält ein ausgearbeitetes Orchester-Zwischenspiel. Grund genug für Philip Sparke, diesen Hit für Blasorchester zu bearbeiten.
