9x12 inches.
One of the most
distinctive
characteristics of this
traditional Appalachian
folk song is the
jazz-like use of
occasional blue; notes in
the melody and harmony.
This setting effectively
explores the many
instrumental colors and
textures of the modern
concert band, yet it
maintains the simplicity
and beauty of the
original melody.

As One
Listens to the Rain is a
marriage of two distinct
musical ideas. The first,
a solitary, solemn
melody, is introduced in
the trumpet and cloaked
in an aura of slowly
shifting transparent
harmonies. This idea soon
gives way to flowing
lines and falling
gestures that invoke an
image of cascading
rainfall. A hymn-like
interlude provides a
brief respite before the
return of the rain which,
in this final form, spins
and tumbles over itself.
A stirring and evocative
work for modern winds.

The composer
writes:On March 11th 2011
a massive 9.0- magnitude
earthquake occurred off
the coast of
north-eastern Japan.I'm
writing these programme
notes barely a week later
and the death toll caused
by the quake and
resulting tsunami already
exceeds 6000, with
thousands of people still
unaccounted for. I have
many friends associated
with many bands
throughout Japan and one
of these, Yutaka Nishida,
suggested I write a piece
to raise money to help
those affected by the
disaster. I was
immediately attracted by
the idea and have
arranged Cantilena (a
brass band piece recently
commissioned by the
Grenland International
Brass Festival, Norway)
for wind band, giving it
a new title tohonour my
friends in the Land of
the Rising Sun.I will be
donating royalties from
this piece to the
Japanese Red Cross
Society Emergency Relief
Fund and am delighted to
say that my distributors,
De Haske, who will
generously also donate
all net profits from
sales of this piece, have
pledged a substantial
advance payment to the
Red Cross so that what
little help this project
generates can be
immediate.It is my
sincere wish that this
'Band Aid' project will
allow wind bands around
the world support the
people of Japan, where
bands are a way of life
for many, in this
difficult time.Philip
Sparke
De
componist schrijft:Op 11
maart 2011 vond er vlak
bij de noordkust van
Japan een enorme
aardbeving - 9.0 op de
schaal van Richter -
plaats.Ik maak deze
werkbeschrijving
nauwelijks een week later
en het aantal doden dat
de aardbevingen de
daaropvolgende tsunami
hebben geëist, komt al
uit boven de 6000,
terwijl er nog steeds
duizenden mensen worden
vermist.Ik heb veel
vrienden die met orkesten
in heel Japan werken, en
een van hen, Yutaka
Nishida, steldevoor dat
ik een stuk zou schrijven
om geld bij elkaar te
krijgen voor hulp aan de
slachtoffers van de ramp.
Ik vond het meteen een
goed idee en ik heb
vervolgens Cantilena (
een brassbandwerk dat ik
recentelijk heb
gecomponeerd voorhet
Grenland International
Brass festival in
Noorwegen) gearrangeerd
voor harmonieorkest en er
een nieuwe titel aan
gegeven, als eerbewijs
aan mijn vrienden in het
land van de rijzende
zon.De royalty's die ik
voor dit werk krijg,zal
ik doneren aan het
Japanse noodhulpfonds van
het Rode Kruis, en ik ben
heel blij dat mijn
distributeur, De Haske,
die eveneens alle
nettowinst op dit werk
zal doneren, bereid is
alvast een grote
vooruitbetaling te doen
aanhet Rode Kruis, zodat
de hulp die uit dit
project voortkomt, hoe
bescheiden wellicht ook,
onmiddellijk in gang
gezet kan worden.Ik hoop
oprecht dat dit 'Band
Aid-project' het
blaasorkesten wereldwijd
mogelijk maakt de mensen
in Japante steunen - een
land waar blaasmuziek
voor velen een manier van
leven is.
Der
Komponist schreibt
über sein Stück:Am
11. März 2011
ereignete sich ein
Erdbeben der Stärke
9,0 vor der
nordöstlichen Küste
Japans.Diese
Werkbeschreibung schreibe
ich nur eine Woche
später. Die Zahl der
Todesopfer des Erdbebens
und des dadurch
ausgelösten Tsunamis
überschreitet bereits
die 6000, wobei noch
tausende Menschen als
vermisst gelten.Ich habe
zahlreiche Freunde in
Japan, die mit vielen
Blasorchestern im ganzen
Land verbunden sind.
Einer dieser Freunde,
Yutaka Nishida, schlug
mir vor, ein Stück zu
schreiben, um mit dem
Erlös den von der
Katastrophe betroffenen
Menschen zu helfen. Ich
war gleich begeistert von
dieser Idee und habe
daraufhin
Cantilena(ein
Brass-Band-Stück, das
ich jüngst für das
Grenland International
Brass Festival in
Norwegen komponierte)
für Blasorchester
bearbeitet und ihm zu
Ehren meiner Freunde im
Land der aufgehenden
Sonne einen neuen Titel
gegeben.Ich werde meine
Tantiemen für dieses
Stück dem Hilfsfonds
des Japanischen Roten
Kreuzes spenden. Ich bin
auch sehr froh, dass mein
Verlag De Haske, der
ebenfalls alle Erlöse
aus diesem Stück
spenden wird, dem Roten
Kreuz bereits im Voraus
eine bedeutende Summe
geschickt hat, damit der
kleine Beitrag, den
dieses Projekt beitragen
kann, sofort ankommt.Es
ist mein inniger Wunsch,
dass dieses Band

Blasorchestern auf der
ganzen Welt
ermöglichen wird, den
Menschen in Japan zu
helfen, wo Blasorchester
in dieser schweren Zeit
für viele ein Weg
sind, das Leben aufrecht
zu erhalten.“Philip

La
recente tragedia del
Giappone, messo in
ginocchio dal terremoto,
ha spinto Philip Sparke a
comporre The Sun Will
Rise Again (Il sole

brano che vuole essere un
messaggio di solidariet
al popolo nipponico, ma
anche un aiuto concreto:
gli introiti saranno
interamente devoluti, sia

A stunning
and heart-wrenching
composition based on the
Jewish folk son Shlof,
Mayn Kind. You can
hear the emotional
content pour out of this
piece written in memory
of an outstanding
orchestra director. The
piece beginnings with
original material to set
the tone, followed by
a clarinet solo on the
song. It then develops
through a variety of
different harmonic
presentation before
building to a nice key
change and climatic
moment. The piece ends as
it began, but with a more
hopeful tone. An amazing
piece. Sleep, My Child
was commissioned by the
Madison Middle School
Band and Orchestra in
Tampa, Florida, and is
dedicated to the memory
of their Director of
Orchestras Kevin Frye.
Director of Bands Chris
Shultz championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor Kevin
after he passed away in
December 2016. Mr. Frye
was a beloved member of
the staff at Madison
Middle as well as the
music community of Tampa
and the state of
Florida. I was a
personal friend of
Kevin’s. We were
in several musical groups
together when we were
young that were formative
to both of our musical
careers. I also guest
conducted his Madison
Middle School Orchestra
several times over the
past four years. His
musicianship, teaching
skills and love for his
students were
exemplary.When taking on
the challenge of writing
a piece to honor
Kevin’s legacy,
Mr. Shultz and I decided
to try and include
several important aspects
of Kevin’s life
into the piece. Kevin was
proudly Jewish, a
fantastic trumpet player
and loved Jazz. With that
in mind, and after a lot
of research, a Jewish
folk song Shlof, Mayn
Kind was selected as the
basis for the piece, not
to be religious, but to
honor his faith and
heritage. Plus it is a
beautiful song, and I
felt the title reflected
the sentiment I was
looking to express, which
is of someone taking rest
after a long battle with
illness. Thus, a lullaby
seemed appropriate.I also
wanted to incorporate
Jazz into the piece, but
in a concert setting, so
you will hear as the
piece develops, the
harmonies of the folk
song expand into ones
found more commonly in
Jazz compositions. Not
in a far out way, but in
a subtle way to again
honor this part of his
life. For example the
climactic moment of the
piece at the fermata in
m. 57 is a Dbmaj9#11
chord. It appropriately
give the piece the angst
that I was looking for at
this moment in the piece,
while honoring the
importance of Jazz in
Kevin’s musical
life.The piece was also
conceived to include both
the Madison band and
orchestra in the
performance at the
premiere. I wanted the
pieces to work separately
by the band and
separately by the
orchestra, but I also
wanted them to be able to
play the piece together
to honor Kevin.The piece
begins with original
material designed to set
the mood of the piece
with a tempo/style
marking of pensive, but
also as material that I
used as connective
musical tissue between
statements of the folk
song. After this
introduction, the folk
song is presented by a
solo violin (or clarinet)
with orchestral
accompaniment in a simple
straight forward
presentation of the song.
This is followed by a
woodwind section
statement of the folk
song accompanied by muted
trumpets. During this
presentation the harmony
starts to expand with
more color notes in the
chords. The low brass are
added half way through
this statement to add
depth and lushness.The
introductory material
returns, but with some
angry hits in the lower
voices. This leads to a
full ensemble state of
new material that is used
to transition to the
climax of the piece, and
to build tension. After
the build, the piece
modulates to a shortened
statement of the folk
song with more advanced
harmonies and an active
counter line in the
violas, horns, saxes and
first clarinets to
further build the
tension. This tension
is released at the
fermata in m. 57, as
mentioned above. After a
thoughtful pause, the
piece concludes with a
completion of the folk
song again with a solo
violin (or clarinet)
followed by a return of
the introductory material
to tie the piece
together. The piece ends
hopeful, with a solo
trumpet (Kevin’s
instrument) that is
dissonant at first, but
then resolves as if to
say - everything will be
OK! It has been my
distinct honor to have
been asked to write this
piece in Kevin’s
memory! I hope that in
some small way the piece
helps to bring comfort to
his family, students,
colleagues and to all
those that knew
him!–Larry

Great Britain
has had a National Youth
Brass Band since 1952,
which caters for players
between the ages of 12
and 18 and has produced
many outstanding
instrumentalists in its
distiguished history. An
exciting development took
place in July 2004 when
the first summer course
of a new National
Children's Brass Band of
Great Britain, for
players between the ages
of 8 and 13, was held in
Bromsgrove, Worcester.
Renowned cornet soloist
and conductor Lynda
Nicholson was appointed
music director and she
commissioned Philip
Sparke to write a piece
for this inaugural
course. The Pioneers was
the result. The title
refers to the fact that
the NCBBGB was starting
out on a new adventure
but is also a salute to
the bicentenary of an
expedition by two of the
composer's heroes -
Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark. They were
commissioned by US
President Thomas
Jefferson to find the
headwaters of the
Mississippi and a route
to the Pacific following
the Louisiana Purchase in
1803, which doubled the
size of USA. They set
out, as the “Corps
of Discovery,” from
Louisville, Kentucky, in
May 1804; not only did
they succeed in reaching
the Pacific through
hostile territory, but
also found their way back
- in three years! The
piece is not descriptive
of the journey but gives
the composer the
opportunity to celebrate
the 200th anniversary of
this amazing feat.

A
stunning and
heart-wrenching
composition based on the
Jewish folk son Shlof,
Mayn Kind. You can
hear the emotional
content pour out of this
piece written in memory
of an outstanding
orchestra director. The
piece beginnings with
original material to set
the tone, followed by
a clarinet solo on the
song. It then develops
through a variety of
different harmonic
presentation before
building to a nice key
change and climatic
moment. The piece ends as
it began, but with a more
hopeful tone. An amazing
piece. Sleep, My Child
was commissioned by the
Madison Middle School
Band and Orchestra in
Tampa, Florida, and is
dedicated to the memory
of their Director of
Orchestras Kevin Frye.
Director of Bands Chris
Shultz championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor Kevin
after he passed away in
December 2016. Mr. Frye
was a beloved member of
the staff at Madison
Middle as well as the
music community of Tampa
and the state of
Florida. I was a
personal friend of
Kevin’s. We were
in several musical groups
together when we were
young that were formative
to both of our musical
careers. I also guest
conducted his Madison
Middle School Orchestra
several times over the
past four years. His
musicianship, teaching
skills and love for his
students were
exemplary.When taking on
the challenge of writing
a piece to honor
Kevin’s legacy,
Mr. Shultz and I decided
to try and include
several important aspects
of Kevin’s life
into the piece. Kevin was
proudly Jewish, a
fantastic trumpet player
and loved Jazz. With that
in mind, and after a lot
of research, a Jewish
folk song Shlof, Mayn
Kind was selected as the
basis for the piece, not
to be religious, but to
honor his faith and
heritage. Plus it is a
beautiful song, and I
felt the title reflected
the sentiment I was
looking to express, which
is of someone taking rest
after a long battle with
illness. Thus, a lullaby
seemed appropriate.I also
wanted to incorporate
Jazz into the piece, but
in a concert setting, so
you will hear as the
piece develops, the
harmonies of the folk
song expand into ones
found more commonly in
Jazz compositions. Not
in a far out way, but in
