Additional info/contents	Music for Life was commissioned by the members of Community Band South, Pittsburgh. The band's motto is thus Music is for a Lifetime and this suggested the title for the commission. Philip Sparke wanted to reflect the positive aspects of both the band's philosophy and the energy suggested by the chosen title by producing a work that is always full of life and vitality, even in its more reflective moments. Because of this, the piece is almost totally melodic, relying little on development or other formal devices. A series of lively melodic statements are presented before a slower central section is introduced, designed to showcase the Community Band South's talented clarinet section. But the moment of reflection is short-lived and the livelier music returns to end the work in the same spirit that is started.
