  • Music Inspired by the Works of Thomas Hardy
    This article was first published in The Hardy Review , Volume XVI-i, Spring 2014, pp. 29-45, and is reproduced by kind permission of The Thomas Hardy Association, editor Rosemarie Morgan. Should you wish to purchase a copy of the paper please go to: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ttha/thr/2014/00000016/0 0000001/art00004 LITERATURE INTO MUSIC: MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE WORKS OF THOMAS HARDY Part Two: Music composed after Hardy’s lifetime CHARLES P. C. PETTIT Part One of this article was published in the Autumn 2013 issue. It covered music composed during Hardy’s lifetime. This second article covers music composed since Hardy’s death, coming right up to the present day. The focus is again on music by those composers who wrote operatic and orchestral works, and only mentions song settings of poems, and music in dramatisations for radio and other media, when they were written by featured composers. Hardy’s work is seen to have inspired a wide variety of music, from full-length operas and musicals, via short pieces featuring particular fictional episodes, to ballet music and purely orchestral responses. Hardy-inspired compositions show no sign of reducing in number over the decades. However despite the quantity of music produced and the quality of much of it, there is not the sense in this period that Hardy maintained the kind of universal appeal for composers that was evident during the last two decades of his life. Keywords : Thomas Hardy, Music, Opera, Far from the Madding Crowd , Tess of the d’Urbervilles , Alun Hoddinott, Benjamin Britten, Elizabeth Maconchy In my earlier article, published in the Autumn 2013 issue of the Hardy Review , I covered Hardy-inspired music composed during Hardy’s lifetime.

  • On the Highland Trail of Sir Arnold Bax
    ON THE HIGHLAND TRAIL OF SIR ARNOLD BAX - ESSAY - On the Highland Trail of Sir Arnold Bax Chris Bye Independent A misty silhouette of the distant island of Rhum haunts the horizon before slipping away under the cloak of a frivolous sea-fret shrouding the Hebrides. This moody mystique once sparked the creativity of the prolific English composer, Sir Arnold Bax. This Hebridean image is just one of many Atlantic seascapes that inspired Bax’s magnificent music. I am hypnotised by the spectral scene as I stare from the window of the Station Hotel. This was one of Bax’s favourite bolt-holes, where he could escape the intensity of a crowded London and replace it with the comparative quietude of this largely hidden bucolic idyll in Morar, Invernesshire. One of the main motivating forces at the root of Bax’s music, particularly in Symphonies Three to Five (composed between 1929 and ‘39) is the spectacular Western seaboard. The rugged but captivating Hebridean coastline—scene of many Celtic myths and legends—fascinated Bax. Bax lodged, sometimes in solitude, but most times with Mary Gleaves (whom he first met in the late ‘20s) at the Station Hotel, Morar. He was always careful to secure the same room, where he worked intensively on scores with the help of an upright piano. The room also benefitted from a fireplace. A log fire would offer a welcome degree of warmth during Bax’s occupancy, often in the freezing winter months. He wore a woolly overcoat for added protection from the notorious Scottish cold. Bax’s hideaway, the Station Hotel, now known as the Morar Hotel, can still be reached today by taking a four-hour rail journey – at times stupendously dramatic 26 CHRIS BYE and picturesque – from Glasgow through the Western Highlands.

Ostoich, D.M.A. Abstract Léon Goossens (1897–1988) was an English oboist considered responsible for restoring the oboe as a solo instrument. During the Romantic era, the oboe was used mainly as an orchestral instrument, not as the solo instrument it had been in the Baroque and Classical eras. A lack of virtuoso oboists and compositions by major composers helped prolong this status. Goossens became the first English oboist to make a career as a full-time soloist and commissioned many British composers to write works for him.

Of considerable metrical 1-3 intricacy, this movement derives harmonically and melodically from a four-note motif. 1st Movement: Allegro moderato 15’39” Marked , the slow movement is a set of variations which unfolds in a 2nd Movement: Adagio molto 11’32” flowing 3/2 time. Inward-looking, this is the concerto’s emotional core, its wistful opening 3rd Movement: Allegro molto 10’19” for piano establishing a mood of restrained lamentation whilst the shattering brass Malcolm Binns, piano motifs introduce a more agonized form of grief, close to raging despair. The cadenza brings London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Braithwaite some measure of peace.

From Rob Cowan: “Celebrating what would have been André Previn’s 90th on Cowan’s Classics brings back precious memories of a breakfast interview in Vienna back in 1997, talking to the great man about Ravel, Richard Strauss, Vaughan Williams, Mozart and film music. I remember his suave manner, caustic wit and obvious enthusiasm for the music he loved most. I’ve a terrific selection planned, ranging from Vaughan Williams evoking Westminster at night, to something sleek and sweet by Previn himself, Satie’s restful Gymnopedie No. 1 and Rachmaninov’s most famous piano concerto with Vladimir Ashkenazy as soloist.

  • Classic FM Breaks Down Some of the Popular Myths Surrounding the Greatly Revered English Composer, Ralph Vaughan-Williams
    Classic FM breaks down some of the popular myths surrounding the greatly revered English composer, Ralph Vaughan-Williams. <www.classicfm.com/composers/vaughan-williams/guides/vaughan-williams-re-assessed/> Ralph Vaughan-Williams bestrides English music in the 20th century like a colossus. Every aspect of our musical life stands in his shadow. He was one of the prime movers behind The Third Programme, or Radio Three as it is now called, and helped kick into life the National Youth Orchestra and the Arts Council. The English Hymnal, which he edited in 1906, provided the Anglican Church with a veritable hit parade of hymns and carols, many of which Vaughan- Williams wrote himself although he never admitted as much until late in life – All People That On Earth Do Dwell, For All The Saints, O Little Town Of Bethlehem, to name just three. The hundreds of folk songs he collected with Cecil Sharp and Gustav Holst saved an entire world of indigenous music that was in danger of vanishing, and he provided the Camargo Society (which led to the formation of the Vic-Wells Ballet, which became The Royal Ballet) with its first full-length work, Job. His patronage of the Leith Hill Music Festival revitalized a tradition of amateur choral singing that has been of widespread importance and his rediscovery of the power and sound of Tudor and Elizabethan music has influenced every British composer since. And all this quite apart from his own great music: nine symphonies, concertos for piano, violin, tuba, harmonica, operas, ballets, film scores and songs - masterpieces poured out of him in every genre.

    BRITISH ORCHESTRAL MUSIC (Including Orchestral Poems, Suites, Serenades, Variations, Rhapsodies, Concerto Overtures etc) A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Frederick Delius (1862-1934) Born in Bradford to German parents. His family had not destined him for a musical career but due to the persuasion of Edvard Grieg his father allowed him to attend the Leipzig Conservatory where he was a pupil of Hans Sitt and Carl Reinecke. His true musical education, however, came from his exposure to the music of African-American workers in Florida as well as the influences of Grieg, Wagner and the French impressionists. His Concertos and other pieces in classical forms are not his typical works and he is best known for his nature-inspired short orchestral works. He also wrote operas that have yielded orchestral preludes and intermezzos in his most characteristic style. Sir Thomas Beecham was his great champion both during Delius’ lifetime and after his death.
