Letter from home
er fra albumet med samme navn, innspilt av Pat Metheny Group i 1989.
Låten er slående vakker i sin enkelhet og stemningen balanserer mellom melankoli og optimisme.  Originalen er uten vokal, men det er ikke vanskelig utfra tittelen å danne seg sine egne bilder og assosiasjoner. Denne musikken gjorde stort inntrykk på meg da jeg hørte den første gang for 20 år siden, hvilket den fortsatt gjør, sier arrangøren Svein Henrik Giske.Pat Metheny sier selv: «Da jeg skrev denne låten, satt jeg i den samme stolen i omtrent 18 timer og ventet på at kun de eneste rette tonene i melodien skulle falle på plass.  (...) Den endelige versjonen var ulikt alt annet jeg hadde gjort tidligere og jeg har siden prøvd å leve opp til den samme selvkritiske standard hva melodisk innhold angår.»

Letter from home
is the title track from the album recorded by Pat Metheny Group in 1989.
The tune is quite simple, yet strikingly beautiful in its simplicity. The mood of the music is sometimes melancholic and other times more optimistic. Although Pat Metheny's version is without vocals, it's still very emotional and it encourages the listener to form his or her opinion on what the music is about.   This music made a strong impression on me when I first heard it 20 years ago, and it still does, says the arranger, Svein Henrik Giske.Pat Metheny himself says about Letter from home: «When I wrote this tune, I sat in the same chair for about 18 hours waiting for these singular acceptable notes to show up. (...) The final version that I walked away from that session with was unlike anything I had written until then, and I have tried to maintain that standard of critical melodic detail as much as possible ever since.»Svein Henrik Giske
