Program Notes
This work was written to raise money to help those affected by the massive earthquake that occurred off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011. This is an arrangement of Sparke's Cantilena (for brass band) with a new title to honor his friends in the "Land of the Rising Sun."
- Program Note by publisher
On March 11th 2011 a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of northeastern 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 to honour 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.
