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 southernhemisphere (due to the boisterous and prevailing westerly winds). A fanfare, chorale and an energetic vivo all capture this untameable region. Dur: 5:45
