Songs from Across the Water was commissioned by Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds - Phil Evans, Founder and Director. Phil Evans hails from the UK and served for 25 years in the Band of HM Royal Marines. Now resident in the USA he founded Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in 2008, giving them the tag line ‘An American Band with a British Accent’, as he wanted to combine the best of both countries’ band traditions. With this in mind, composer Philip Sparke decided to create a suite of British folk songs, scored with an American influence to fulfil the philosophy of the band’s tag line. The three movements, which are played without a break, are based on the following folk songs,which come from all corners of the British Isles: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air and The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water werd geschreven in opdracht van de Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, waarvan Phil Evans de oprichter en tevens de dirigent is. Phil Evans is geboren en getogen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, hij was 25 jaar lang lid van de Band of HM Royal Marines. Tegenwoordig woont hij in de VS, waar hij in 2008 de Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds oprichtte, met als motto ‘An American band with a British Accent’ (Een Amerikaans blaasorkest met een Brits accent), aangezien hij de blaasmuziektradities uit beide landen wilde combineren. Met dit gegeven in zijn achterhoofd creëerde componist Philip Sparke een suite van Britse folksongs, georkestreerd met een Amerikaanse invloedom de filosofie achter het eerdergenoemde motto eer aan te doen. De drie delen, die zonder onderbreking worden gespeeld, zijn gebaseerd op de volgende folksongs, die afkomstig zijn uit alle hoeken van de Britse Eilanden: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air en The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water wurde von den Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in Auftrag gegeben, deren Gründer und Leiter Phil Evans ist. Phil Evans stammt aus dem Vereinigten Königreich und spielte 25 Jahre lang im Blasorchester der HM Royal Marines. Inzwischen lebt er in den USA und gründete 2008 die Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, denen er den Beinamen An American band with a British Accent“ (Ein amerikanisches Blasorchester mit einem britischen Akzent“) gab, da er das Beste aus der Blasorchester-Tradition beider Länder miteinander vereinen wollte. Aus diesem Grund hat der Komponist Philip Sparke eine Suite aus britischen Volksliedern komponiert, wobei dieInstrumentierung einen amerikanischen Einfluss hat, um so die Philosophie des Orchesterbeinamens zu verwirklichen. Die drei Sätze, die ohne Pause gespielt werden, basieren auf den folgenden Volksliedern, die aus allen Gegenden der britischen Inseln stammen: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air sowie The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water est une commande du Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds et de Phil Evans, fondateur et directeur. Phil Evans est originaire du Royaume-Uni où il a joué dans l’orchestre des HM Royal Marines pendant 25 ans. Vivant désormais aux Etats-Unis, il y a fondé le Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds en 2008 et lui a donné le slogan « un orchestre américain l’accent britannique », aspirant combiner les meilleures traditions d’harmonies des deux pays. Avec cette idée l’esprit, le compositeur Philip Sparke a décidé de créer une suite de chansons folkloriques britanniques, orchestrées l’influence américaine en rapport avec la philosophie du groupe. Les troismouvements qui s’enchaînent reposent sur les trois chansons folkloriques suivantes, qui viennent de tous les coins des Îles Britanniques : The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air et The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech.

The Folk Songs choral collection explores the musical world of Great Britain and Ireland. It contains 21 arrangements of English-language verse songs, canons, and ballads for mixed unaccompanied chorus. The folk songs are as diverse as the stories they tell: from the moving Greensleeves and Two hearts beat as one, through charming settings such as A rosebud by my early walk and There were three ravens, to saucy and tongue-in-cheek songs such as Dashing away with the smoothing iron and The mother-in-law. The stylistic treatment is very varied: the collection contains both original settings from the 13th century as well as arrangements specially commissioned from contemporary composers for the collection. The settings are in three to five parts, and the vocal parts sometimes divide. They are by well-known British and Irish composers such as Benjamin Britten, Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Charles Villiers Stanford, as well as contemporary composers such as John Rutter and Carsten Gerlitz - who give a new twist to these traditional songs. Calmus Ensemble has recorded six arrangements from this collection for their CD Folk Songs (Carus 83.034).
