London is famous for its history and pageantry. No part of the city epitomises this better than the area known as Westminster. It is home to The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Bridge and numerous other historical sites. It also hosts many annual parliamentary ceremonies that characterise London life. Westminster Prelude aims to capture the mood of life in this famous part of London, both the majesty of its history and the pomp of its ceremonies.

London ist berühmt für seine Geschichte und seinen Prunk. Kein Teil der Stadt verkörpert dies besser als das Westminster genannte Viertel mit seinen vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten und jährlichen Parlamentszeremonien. Westminster Prelude, ein kontrastreiches, wirkungsvolles Stück, in dem die unterschiedlichen Artikulationen von größter Bedeutung sind, will das Lebensgefühl in diesem berühmten Stadtteil Londons einfangen - sowohl die beeindruckende Geschichte, als auch den Pomp seiner Zeremonien.

Londre s est célèbre pour son passé historique et sa beauté architecturale. Il n’y a aucun autre lieu qui en soit une meilleure illustration que la cité de Westminster avec ses nombreux sites historiques et ses édifices prestigieux, tels que le Parlement, Big Ben, l’abbaye de Westminster et le pont de Westminster. C’est également Westminster que se déroulent les nombreuses cérémonies parlementaires annuelles qui caractérisent la vie de Londres. Westminster Prelude dépeint l’esprit de ce célèbre quartier londonien ; la splendeur de son histoire et le faste des cérémonies.

Music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked very animated - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In Wagner's own words - awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life.

In a letter addressed to My dear Liszt, dated May 1852, Richard Wagner writes: It was you who awakened the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life. He was referring to a performance of his opera Lohengrin which Franz Liszt conducted at the Weirner Court Theatre on August 28, 1850. The letter was sent from Zurich, since Wagner was exiled from Germany at this time. He had completed his romantic opera, Lohengrin, some five years earlier but doubted whether he would ever hear it performed. The action takes place in Antwerp in the first half of the 10th century. Elsa and Lohengrin are to be married and the 3rd Act opens as they proceed in great splendour, accompanied by their respective noblewomen and noblemen, to the cathedral. As a Prelude to the curtain rising Wagner unleashed music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked very animated - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In the opera this magnificent Prelude leads directly into the Bridal Scene as Elsa and Lohengrin make their way solemnly to the betrothal ceremony. Wagner achieves this change of mood and atmosphere most skillfully. In arranging the Prelude for concert performance the challenge was to provide an ending which provides a satisfactory climax to Wagner's blaze of instrumental colour, without proceeding to the solemn betrothal music. This was resolved by using the composer's own mighty flourish to end Act I of his opera. Now, the gauntlet is thrown down to all who perform it to - in Wagner's own words - awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life..
