In a Persian
Market was composed
in 1920 by English
composer Albert W.
Ketèlby. It is a short
tone poem that describes
the hustle and bustle
taking place at a busy,
exotic Persian bazaar.
Camel herders, beggars, a
princess, jugglers, snake
charmers and a myriad of
others fill the musical
scenes. The princess and
her caravan eventually
pass by and all is back
to normal. Tohru
Takahashi’s
arrangement perfectly
conveys the sights,
sounds and smells of a
Persian
market.
In a
Persian Market, vom
Engländer Albert W.
Ketèlby im Jahre 1920
komponiert, ist ein
kurzes Tongedicht über
das bunte Treiben auf
einem exotischen
persischen Basar.
Kameltreiber, Bettler,
eine Prinzessin,
Jongleure und
Schlangenbeschwörer
füllen die Szenerie,
bevor die Karawane der
Prinzessin sich in
Bewegung setzt und Ruhe
einkehrt. Diese
Transkription für
Blasorchester von Tohru
Takahashi wird dem
Original voll und ganz
gerecht.
In a
Persian Market,
composto nel 1920, è
un breve poema con un
titolo esotico;
Ketèlbey ha composto
numerose opere di questo
genere negli anni, come
per esempio: In a
Monastery Garden, In a
Chinese Temple Garden
e In the Mystic Land
of Egypt. La musica
di In a Persian
Market evoca immagini
di viaggiatori sui
cammelli, cacciatori di
briganti e
l’arrivo del
principe. In questa
trascrizione per banda di
Tohru Takahashi, le
atmosfere
dell’opera
originale sono rievocate
magistralmente.
