Sambuca,
which most people know
today as a
licorice-flavored
liqueur, was the name the
Greeks gave to a kind of
sharp, shrill-sounding
harp, of Eastern,
possibly Jewish origin.
The Greeks then gave this
same name to a wooden
flute made from the elder
bush, and in the middle
ages it was also
associated with the viol,
at least to the extent
that the Hurdy-gurdy, an
instrument shaped like a
viol and played by means
of a rotating wheel, was
sometimes called a
Sambuca rotata. Thus, the
word Sambuca is tied up
with the ancestors - in
each case, ancestors of
ow birth, as it were - of
the modern harp, flute,
and viola. Somehow, the
present-day association
with alcohol seems very
meet, in that a certain
objectionable quality
seems to have gone with
the name - in 1545 one
George Ascham wrote, This
I am sure... all maner of
pypes, barbitons,
sambukes... be condemned
of Aristotle. The word
Sambucistria - for a
female Sambuca player -
was used by Plutarch and
others to evoke a feeling
of foreign-inspired
decadence [Grove's
Dictionary of Musical
Instruments, 1984].
Currier's work is truly a
Sambuca sonata. Written
for the three Sambuca
instruments, Currier has
first of all seemingly
endeavoured to make the
harp part particularly
Sambuca-like (i.e., sharp
and shrill) with its many
nail and xylophonic
effects, but more
importantly, has used
musical material that
corresponds to the
low-brow, somewhat
Dionysian, indeed, today
even Bacchanalian
implication of the name -
thus, rock music seems to
inspire a great deal
Currier's work [the
Samba, an appropriately
Bacchanalian Brazilian
Carnival dance, in duple
meter with syncopations,
while apparently having
no etymological
connection to Sambuca,
might seem to be
musically involved, too].
The Sambuca which lies
behind this rather
drunken piece is probably
the only musical
instrument which became a
model for an instrument
of war; one Craxton wrote
in 1489 that Sambuce is
an engyn whiche is made
in manere of a harpe able
to perce a walle. But
whether talking of the
modern liqueur or the
ancient instrument
condemned of Aristotle
and mentioned four times
in the Book of Daniel, it
is a shame that Debussy -
inspired by the Dionysian
side of classical culture
(as in Prelude a
l'apres-midi d'un faune)
- seems to have remained
ignorant Sambuca, a word
which to some extent must
lie behind all works for
this wonderful
instrumentation which he
invented, and which I
might seem to have
striven unconsciously,
equally ignorant, to make
the sole basis of
Currier's work - until,
having completed this
piece, written for
harpist Marie-Pierre
Langlamet, and rummaging
around for a title, I
chanced upon it in an old
dictionary.

With his
piano cycle Pictures at
an Exhibition from 1874,
Mussorgsky created a
classic example of
programme music. Based on
the paintings of his
deceased friend Viktor
Hartmann, he also
composed the lyrical
serenade 'Il vecchio
castello' (The Old
Castle), among others.
Hartmann's picture shows
a medieval Italian castle
with a singing troubadour
who accompanies himself
on the lute. In Maurice
Ravel's subsequent famous
orchestral version, the
beautiful, melancholy
melody was played by the
alto saxophone.
Accompaniment, prelude
and interludes are
reminiscent of playing a
medieval hurdy-gurdy with
its pervading drone bass.
Therein lies the
continuity of the piece,
thereabove lies the quiet
romance with its
melancholy character -
the unrequited love of
the troubadour. This
separate edition now
gives all saxophonists
the opportunity to play
the piece with piano
accompaniment.

Born in Oxford
in 1917, Francis Baines
was a well-known and much
respected professional
double bass player. He
studied at the Royal
College of Music in
London with Claude
Hobday, where he later
taught. Something of an
eccentric,he immersed
himself in early music at
a time when few people
were taking it seriously.
He owned a beautiful
Amati bass that he had
restored as a violone,
which it probably was
originally, and he was a
regular fixture as
aprincipal player in a
number of orchestras and
ensembles that dedicated
themselves to period
performing, including
those directed by Denys
Darlow, with whom he
broadcast and recorded
frequently.
Besi
des playing
thedoublebass, Francis
Baines was an exponent of
the treble viol and led
the Jaye Consort of Viols
which he founded. He also
played several kinds of
bagpipe and the
hurdy-gurdy. As a
composer he dabbled in
many styles, one of
hisgreatest claims to
fame being that of
writing for the popular
Hoffnung concerts in the
1960s.
He was
the author of a number of
papers about the history
of the double bass,
sometimes arriving at
scholarly conclusionsthat
were colourful, if not
always entirely accurate.
He discovered the
Giovannino del Violone
sonatas, subsequently
published by Yorke
Edition, although today
it is thought that they
were probably not written
for a 16' pitchinstrument
at all. His edition of
the Capuzzi double bass
concerto, published by
Boosey & Hawkes, was for
many years one of the few
solo works available for
the instrument. This,
however, he largely
re-composed because
hethought it could be
improved: towards the end
of his life he confessed
that with hindsight he
probably should have
treated it
differently.
Gro
unds was written in 1969
as a sort of party piece
and was given to
YorkeEdition in support
of a drive to enlarge the
repertoire for the
instrument in a wide
variety of styles. It was
set on the syllabus of
the Associated Board of
the Royal Schools of
Music for many
years.
