| 解説 | この作品は四季を4つの楽章で表しています。 Spring Sunshine：吹奏楽の幅広い色を使って、明るい春の朝を表現しています。 In Summer Siesta：暑い夏の午後に川辺での静かな昼寝の様子を表しています。 Autumn Alone：クラリネットのソロが迫りくる冬の暗い日々を表しています。 Winter Winds：冬の荒れた天気を表します。 最後はまた一楽章の音楽に戻り、再び春が訪れます。 Following earlier models of Vivaldi and Glazunov， Philip Sparke has taken the yearly cycle of the seasons to inspire a framework for this four-movement suite. Spring Sunshine exploits the wide range of colors available in a concert band to describe a bright spring morning. In Summer Siesta， A rippling figure in the clarinets underscores a calm and serene melody to conjure up a quiet rest by the river on a hot summer afternoon. A solo clarinet opens the intense Autumn Alone， which heralds the approaching dark days of winter， and Winter Winds brings the work to a close as it portrays stormy winter weather in all its fury and glory， but also returns to music from the first movement as winter gives way to spring once again and restarts the yearly cycle. |
