THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN
Philip Sparke

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 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".

  • <作曲者からのメッセージより抜粋>

    私には日本にたくさんの親しい楽団や友人がいますが、その中の一­人、西田裕氏(ユタカニシダ)より、この大地震によって被災した­方々を元気づけるために、何か楽曲を書いて貰えないかと提案を受­け、すぐさま作曲を行い、その題名を“THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN”(陽はまた昇る)としました。

    もともと、この楽曲はノルウェーのグレンランド国際ブラスフェス­ティバルから委嘱された「カンティレーナ」(金管バンドのための­作品)を吹奏楽用に書き直し、「日出づる国」に敬意を表し、新た­な曲名を付したものです。

    この楽曲の出版印税を含め、全販売収益を日本赤十字社の緊急救援­基金へ寄付することを快く賛同してくれた、De Haske社に敬意を表するとともに、この寄付が日本赤十字社が­行う、救援活動の足しになればと願っています。

    この「バンドエイド」プロジェクトを通じて、世界中の吹奏楽団か­ら日本の被災された方々に対して、温かな支援が得られることを心­から願っています。

    フィリップ・スパーク
