Philip Sparke, Three Norwegian Sketches Concert Band/Harmonie Partitur + Stimmen

Three Norwegian Sketches was commissioned by Åndalsnes Musikkforening, Norway, who are conducted by John Hudson. The three contrasting movements - TROLLVEGGEN (The Troll Wall), RAUMA ELV (River Rauma) and RAUMABANEN (The Rauma Line) - describe life and scenery around the town of Åndalsnes on the beautiful west coast of Norway. This is a challenging, imaginative and versatile new work, ideal for a concert or a contest.
