Das Liederspiel. Par HUMPERDINCK ENGELBERT. When Engelbert Humperdinck’s fairy tale opera Hänsel und Gretel was premiered on 23 December 1893 in Weimar conducted by Richard Strauss, the work could look back on an extensive history of origin. Humperdinck’s younger sister Adelheid Wette (born in 1858) had displayed a great interest in literature in her youth and written a variety of poems for special occasions. In 1888, she wrote a fairy tale entitled Schneewittchen [Snow White] and her brother supplied some songs for this piece. Further fairy tale collaborations followed which were customarily performed within the family circle, and the first draft of the Hänsel und Gretel was begun in 1890. Adelheid’s husband would be celebrating his 34th birthday on 16 May of this year and his wife intended to surprise him with a performance of her version of this fairy tale. Her brother was allotted the task of composing the accompanying songs and, a month before the birthday, she wrote a letter to him in Mainz where Engelbert Humperdinck was among other activities working as an editor for the Schott publishing house, ordering a “very pretty folkloric” Tanzlied [Dance song], a Waldlied [Forest song] (or Echolied [Echo song]), a Schlummerlied [Lullaby] and a Kickericki-Lied [Cock-a-doodle-doo song] from her “dear sugar-sweet little brother... Engel-Bärtchen [angel beard]”. She enclosed the corresponding verses with the letter and “for fun” also provided her own invented melody for the Schlummerlied and rhythmic suggestions for the Tanzlied. Humperdinck went straight to work and, as related in an entry in his diary, was already able to play the songs to the director of the publishing house, Dr Ludwig Strecker, by 19 April. This was the history of origin of the four songs published for the first time edited in form of their original versions in this edition Brüderchen komm’ tanz’ mit mir, Wer ruft mir im Walde doch alles nach, In den Zweigen die Vögelein und Tirelireli! ‘s ist nicht mehr früh “for two children’s voices and piano accompaniment” (see manuscript1). In his reply letter to his sister in which the fair copy of the songs were enclosed, Humperdinck wrote: “As you see, the pitch of the melodies is not too high and I have incorporated your melodies. Let me know soon whether you like the little songs. By the way, the ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’ can also be sung on one note (E flat) instead of on the four notes of the chord.” The first performance of the song-play was held as planned within the family circle with Wettes’ two eldest daughters in the two principle roles. Spurred on by the success of the family performance, initial plans were forged to adapt the song-play into a singspiel with numerous musical numbers and rhymed dialogues; Hermann Wette participated in a draft of the text. The particell of this singspiel had been completed by Christmas 1890. Hugo Wolf and a few others however advised the composer to extend the singspiel into a through-composed fairy tale opera. Humperdinck followed this advice and worked on what he ironically termed as a “Kinderstubenweihfestspiel“ [sacred festive play for the nursery] during the next two summers in Bayreuth. Tanzliedchen [Dance song] and Morgenweckruf [Cock-a-doodle-doo song] were eventually included in the opera in a modified form. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / 2 Voix et Piano

At the service the Archbishop of Canterbury gave the address and the Prime Minister read a lesson.  Judith Weircomments:'It is a particular honour to contribute new music for this great occasion and a pleasure to write a choral version of Robert Bridges’ beautiful verse.'COMPOSER’S NOTEAt the suggestion of Michael Hampel Precentor of St Paul’s Cathedral I have set words by Robert Bridges who was Poet Laureate from 1913–1930. Bridges was an outstanding humanitarian and writer whose poetry hasinspired me before in The Voice of Desire a song-cycle for mezzo-soprano and piano. This short fast-tempo setting aims to emulate the swift fleet-footed rhyme and metre of the two-verse poem with its unobtrusive but tellingreference to ‘man in his hasty days’.J.W.Commissioned by the Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 90th birthday of HM The Queen generously supported by the Boltini Trust. Performed at theNational Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen’s birthday at St Paul’s Cathedral London on Friday 10th June 2016 in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.Music by Judith Weir Master of

Gary Carpenter'S Blue For Solo Flute. Programme Note: The Last Unaccompanied Monophonic Instrumental Piece I Wrote Was For Tuba And That Was In My Student Days. I Have Avoided The Medium Ever Since. Holly Melia'S Request For A Solo Piece Consequently Raised A Number Of Issues For Me: Mainly Fear And Apprehension And How And Where To Start. Debussy'S Wonderful But Intimidating Essay In This Genre Didn'T Help. The Unexpected Impetus For Starting Blue Though Was Holly'S Asking My Lighting Preference For The First Performance. 'Blue' Was My Instinctive Response And The More I Thought About The Colour Blue The More It Seemed To Me That This Might Be Where The Piece Was Headed.The 'Blues' It Is Not However. But It Does Glance At: The Sea The Sky Yves Klein Sadness Fontana'S Copia Vishuddha Alice Picasso And More. Blue Lasts Approximately 3'17'. A Lighting Plan Is Indicated In The Score But Is Entirely Optional. Blue Is Written To Be Performed From Memory.

C-Bass Instruments-This CD (including music booklet) has not especially been worked out for the use in musical education. It is on the contrary an audio CD which has been recorded for sale as a trio CD under my name. Mixing the recordings at the studio however gave us the idea to offer this CD Legal Paradizer also as a play along CD. For this reason I have never taken a pedagogic approach to the musical conception of the pieces performed which in my opinion is exactly what makes these recordings so unique. The structure of none of the pieces is for instance as simple as that of the tunes on some other play along CDs. Therefore I have taken the liberty of adding a short explanationand/or comment on every piece meant to make it easier for you to follow the road map of the tunes. Additionally I have explained some stylistic features to help you interprete the individual pieces. Working with my students has shown me how much fun it can be to also offer groove and funk oriented music on a CD to play along. In most of the pieces you do not necessarily have to follow the changes; you should rather develop simple ideas in time. A real strong emphasis is here placed on the term groove.
