Music, for Concert Band, score and parts

Arranged by: Philip Sparke.

Born in Jarrow, northeast England, in 1949, John Miles was something of a child prodigy, learning the piano from the age of five. In the early '60s he persuaded his father to buy him a guitar and by the end of the decade he had joined a semi-professional band, The Influence. The group soon disbanded and by 1969 Miles was recording with his own group, The John Miles Band, releasing a dozen singles in the early '70s. In 1975 Miles decided to move to London and secured a dealwith Decca Records. By October that year, a newly formed band, John Miles and Co, had released their debut single, "Highfly", but their greatest hit, which stormed the British charts in March 1976, was "Music".

E' con 'Music', il suo più grande successo, che John Miles (1949) conquista le hit-parade inglesi nel marzo 1976. Espressiva, potente e dinamica, questa canzone é un magnifico inno alla musica. L'arrangiamento di PhilipSparke é fedele alla versione originale.
