This new work by Philip Sparke was commissioned to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Australian Army Bands Corps. “The Roaring Forties” is what seamen call the region between the 40th and 50th degrees of latitude in the southern hemisphere (due to the boisterous and prevailing westerly winds). A fanfare, chorale and an energetic vivo all capture this untameable region. Duration: 5:45.

Chasing Orion refers to the practice of celestial navigation, or sailing by the stars. It was inspired by the rich early history of maritime sailing and the commercial shipping industry. After traveling to distant and exotic lands, the fast clipper ships raced toward home, their holds bursting with grain, wool, spices, gold, and other treasures. Catapulted forward by the roaring forties wind currents, the sleek and elegant sailing ships swept around the ever-dangerous Cape Horn as they navigated by the stars, chasing Orion. A dramatic new addition to the young band literature! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

The exceptional arranger Carsten Gerlitz presents the best-known pieces from the era of the roaring Twenties, Thirties and Forties in the first and brand-new, exclusively German, special edition of the Piano Lounge series.
