Cette pièce est un hommage à une figure importante du jazz des années 30 et 40 : Harry James trompettiste virtuose dont le style a inspiré le jeu d?artistes comme Chet Baker. Harry James s?illustre d?abord auprès de Benny Goodman mais décide de fonder sa propre formation en 1939 et en fait l?un des Orchestres de Swing les plus réputés de l?époque. Il engage notamment Frank Sinatra et reprend des classiques tels que Sleepy Lagoon d?Eric Coates et Ciribiribin d?Alberto Pestalozza. Naohiro Iwai a rassemblé ces deux succès dans un arrangement pour Trompette Solo et Orchestre d?Harmonie.

This work was commissioned by the Friends of Cathedral Music to mark their Diamond Jubilee in 2016 with the intention of performance by as many of the affiliated choirs as possible.   Naturally a celebratory anthem was envisaged but with a text that is general enough to allow its performance throughout the church year.   The opening section features a joyful energetic setting of the first five verses of Psalm 105 (King James Version). A contrastingly quiet and gentle passage follows the text being Robert Herrick’s (1591–1674) To Music. A Song ('‘Music thou Queen of Heaven Care-charming spell …'). The openingmaterial then returns with a short ecstatic organ postlude bringing the piece to its conclusion.
