Program Notes
A skillful description of the cityscape of New York that captures the excitement of a first visit to Manhattan. Included is a street scene and a laid-back blues theme followed by a passionate melody that conveys a sense of awe of the whole experience. Then it returns to the bustling opening material for a rousing finish!
- Program Note by publisher
Philip Sparke was so inspired and moved by his first visit to New York, that he had to capture the moment in one of his compositions. At first a general picture of New York is presented as all the sights and sounds are taken it. Eventually the composer finds himself in Manhattan. Walking along a street, music can be heard wafting from one of the jazz-clubs. This musical representation of personal impressions creates an extremely memorable work.
