The
American musical patrons
Mildred and Robert Wood
Bliss were considering
which distinguished
composer to commission to
create a work in
celebration of their 30th
wedding anniversary in
1938. The couple had made
the acquaintance of Igor
Stravinsky in April the
preceding year at the
premiere of his ballet
Jeu de Cartes in New York
and had subsequently
invited the composer to
their country home
'Dumbarton Oaks' in
Washington D.C. to talk
about a new composition.
Stravinsky only just
managed to complete the
work in time for the
anniversary celebrations:
its date of completion
was also the date of its
first performance. For
his classically styled
three-movement work, he
selected the title
Concerto in E flat,
adding the subtitle
Dumbarton Oaks as a
dedication. The structure
of the work references
the concerto grosso: it
features a soloist
ensemble which unites in
the tutti sequences but
also plays in concertino
groups during the solo
episodes. Broken chordal
structures characterise
the central movement
whereas the outer
movements are
distinguished through
their use of fugato.
Dumbarton Oaks went on to
become one of Stravinskys
mostsuccessful works,
performed widely and
delighting Mildred Bliss
so much that she
immediately issued
another commission, for
the Symphony in C. Its
composer's very public
commitment to American
cultural life helped pave
the way for Stravinskys
emigration to the USA in
1945. As early as 1952
Leif Thybo created an
arrangement for organ
which Stravinsky probably
did not know at the time
of his life.

Orga
nist Richard Hills
introduces this reissue
of a neglected Edwardian
classic with a timely
note on
performance-style, the
composer and his works.
Varied in colour and
mood, and written with an
idiomatic command of the
instrument, these
Three Impromptus
reinforce the impression
of Coleridge-Taylor not
only as a versatile
presence on the Edwardian
scene, but also as a
composer whose music is
an enduring part of our
British musical
heritage.
Stylistically
, the Three
Impromptus bear a
closer resemblance to the
composer's theatrical
works than to those
intended for the church
or concert hall. This
light-hearted approach to
organ composition is all
the more striking when
one compares these pieces
with others written
during the same period by
Coleridge-Taylor's
colleagues and teachers,
many of whom were heavily
influenced by the German
Romantic tradition of
Josef Rheinberger and Max
Reger. As original
compositions (as opposed
to transcriptions) the
Three Impromptus
should prove an
invaluable addition to
the repertoire for
recitalists wishing to
programme sophisticated
lighter fare that has
immediate appeal.

This
work's four movements
were inspired by the four
Ariel poems of T.S.
Eliot. The poems are
entitled Journey of the
Magi, A Song for Simeon,
Animula, and Marina.
Colorful organ
registrations, late
twentieth-century musical
language and references
to other organ works and
chant melodies are
employed in this musical
representation of Eliot's
poetry. The poems mark,
in part, Eliot's
conversion experience to
orthodox Christianity.
The spiritual theme of
T.S. Eliot Impressions is
that of a journey from
darkness to light and
from despair to hope. A
tour-de-force concert
calibre work of some
twenty minutes in length.
Detailed notes by the
composer are included in
the publication and are
critical to the
understanding and
appreciation of this
extended work.
