Composed by Roger Whittaker and Ronald Webster. Arranged by Lisa Lenke Sousa. Contemporary. Score and parts. 38 pages. Lisa Lenke Sousa #4279335. Published by Lisa Lenke Sousa (A0.979548).
Hosted by British singer and songwriter, Roger Whittaker, a U.K. based radio program was the birthplace to the song, "The Last Farewell." In 1971 on a segment of the program, Whittaker, along with orchestrator
Zack Lawrence, invited listeners to submit lyrics or poetry so that Whittaker can write songs to their words.
Inspired by a rainy commute home on a bus, a silversmith from Birmingham, England by the name of Ron A Webster, wrote a poem about a sailor leaving a set of islands to head back to his homeland of England. On his way back home, he is to face a battle with a nation that his nation is at war. The subject of the love he leaves is unknown
as to whether it is the beauty of the islands or a love interest. However, the sailor expresses a deep sadness in leaving the islands to face an uncertain fate. Naming the poem, "The Last Farewell," it became one of the selected works featured in the program, and featured in Whittaker's 1971 album, "A New World In The Morning."
In 1975, a wife of an Atlanta, Georgia radio programmer heard "The Last Farewell" while on a trip to Canada. Liking the song, she asked her husband to play it when she returned to Atlanta. Upon its playing, listeners
began calling the station asking about the song and the singer. Soon after its American radio debut, "The Last Farewell" reached the Top 20 Billboard Charts at number 19,
as well as number 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts.
This arrangement is for Horn Solo with a brass choir, and it features a Horn solo. This arrangement is 4 minutes and 28 seconds long
