Turn of a Friendly card Alan Parsons / Arr. Ton van Grevenbroek

Titel / Title: Turn of a Friendly card
Untertitel / Subtitle:
Instrumentation: Concert Band

This arrangment is part of the Alan Parsons Project. The Turn tells the story of the entrance a gambler makes into a casino, full of expressionless faces and the endless spinning of the roulette wheel. The addiction is summed up as thus. No game ever ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card. Parsons compares the chance game players with relics and pilgrims. The players enter the casinos, the pilgrims, the cathedrals.

Ce titre fait partie du Alan Parsons Project. The Turn parle de l'entrée d'un joueur dans le casino, avec ses visages grincheux et la roulette qui tourne éternellement. On entend tout-de-suite la dépendance au jeu : No game ever ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card'. Parsons a comparé la relation jeu-joueur à celle de relique-pèlerin. Le joueur entre le casino ; le pèlerin entre la cathédrale.

Deze titel maakt deel uit van het Alan Parsons Project. The Turn gaat over de entree die de gokker maakt in het casino met chagrijnige gezichten en het eeuwig draaiende roulettewiel. De verslaving is direct hoorbaar: No game ever ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card. Parsons vergeleek de verhouding spel, speler, met reliek en pelgrim. De speler gaat het casino binnen; de pelgrim de kathedraal
