Neapolitan Holiday - AMP276 | Muziek

With "Neapolitan Holiday" Philip Sparke follows the examples of Mendelssohn's 4th Symphony and Elgar's "In the South: Alassio" and creates a thoroughly "sunny" piece by using the acoustic color of wind instruments. He describes a festival in Naples, inspired during a holiday in Southern Italy. After a solemn opening there is a kind of serenade and after a joyful parade has passed by a dance begins.
