The lyrics to Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes can be traced to English poet Ben Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare. The melody's origin, on the other hand, is not certain. In this three- movement arrangement, Philip Sparke provides the soloist with plenty of substance while respecting the beautiful simplicity of the original tune.

Vooral bij jonge musici is dit oude Engelse lied van onbekende herkomst buitengewoon populair. Met zijn arrangement voor trompet en blaasorkest dat uit drie coupletten bestaat werkte Philip Sparke de solomelodie iets uit. De eenvoudigeschoonheid van het origineel verloor hij daarbij echter niet uit het oog.

Dieses alte englische Lied nicht ganz geklarter Herkunft erfreut sich besonders bei jungen Musikern grosser Beliebtheit. In seinem dreistrophigen Arrangement für Trompete und Blasorchester arbeitete Philip Sparke die Melodie für den Solisten etwas aus, immer jedoch mit Rücksicht auf die schlichte Schonheit des Originals.

La chanson anglaise Drink to me Only with Thine Eyes a connu un vif succes des deux cotes de l'Atlantique pendant plus de deux siecles. Elle est particulierement appreciee par les jeunes musiciens. L'arrangement de Philip Sparke propose au trompettiste soliste une structure plus elaboree, tout en restant fidele a la delicate simplicite de la version originale.

Questa antica canzone inglese, di origini non ben definite, e particolarmente apprezzata dai giovani musicisti. In questo arrangiamento per tromba e banda, composto da tre strofe, Philip Sparke elabora la parte solista rimanendo pero fedele alla sobria bellezza dell'originale.
