Not much is known about the origin of Huntingtower, except for the fact that this ballad was composed in 1931 by the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936), commissioned by Edwin Franko Goldman and the American Bandmaster Association, and was premiered on 17 April 1932 at a concert in memory of John Philip Sousa in Washington D.C. It is not even certain whether Respighi arranged the work himself, or left this to someone else. Huntingtower is the name of a castle in Scotland, where Respighi spent some time. It is possible that this ballad contains his musical impressions of his stay there. The orchestration on this CD, made by Franco Cesarini in 1987, is an adaptation ofthe work to the demands of the contemporary concert band.

Si l’année de composition est connue, les origines de l’œuvre Huntingtower (1931) restent néanmoins très floues. Cette ballade pour Orchestre d’Harmonie du compositeur italien Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) est une œuvre de commande pour Edwin Franko Goldman et l’Association des Chefs d’Orchestres Vent américains (American Bandmaster Association). Huntingtower a été créé Washington, le 17 avril 1932, dans le cadre d’un concert en hommage John Philip Sousa. On ignore si Respighi a personnellement orchestré cette œuvre ou s’il en a confié la réalisation une tierce personne. Huntingtower est le nom d’un ch teau écossais dans lequelRespighi a séjourné pendant quelque temps. Il est donc probable que l’œuvre livre des impressions musicales sur le ch teau et son environnement. Franco Cesarini a réalisé cette transcription en accord avec les exigences de l’Orchestre d’Harmonie moderne.
