Portrait of a City
London, a vibrant city full of vitality and spirit, is the essence of this three-movement work for band. As a Londoner himself, Sparke relays in each movement some of the city's most beloved and fascinating elements. Skyline offers angular motives and a multitude of ideas that coincide well together. As a contrast, In Autumn conjures the quiet of a park on an early fall morning in which a sense of calm prevails. The third movement, Downtown, grabs a piece of city nightlife musically through vivacious themes and a relentless enthusiasm. Overall, at over 15 minutes in length, this is a varied musical experience that is well worth your consideration and would make a fine centerpiece in your program!
