These
Four Dances from
CLORINDA AGONISTES
(Clorinda the warrior)
are taken from a recently
completed dramatic work;
a hybrid opera & dance
theatre work currently of
the same title. The name
Clorinda comes from
Monteverdi’s opera
Il Combattimento di
Tancredi e Clorinda
, whose libretto is from
the epic poem by Tasso
titled, Gerusalemme
Liberata (Jerusalem
Liberated). The dramatic
work, which was
commissioned by the
London based Shobana
Jeyasingh Dance company,
the Sadler’s Wells
Theatre and the Royal
Philharmonic Society, was
composed as a companion
piece to
Monteverdi’s
Il
Combattimento.

Favoured by English
composers from Purcell to
Vaughan Williams and
Britten, the ground-bass
form receives a
contemporary makeover in
Morgan Hayes's Dances
on a Ground.
Artfully four-square, a
cello ostinato stays
stubbornly true to its
original thoughts.
Meanwhile, above it a
capricious ensemble of
two violins and viola
swaggers its way through
flights of melody and
jumpy pizzicati to an
ecstatic conclusion.

Bromsgrove Concerts with

Council England,
Dances on a
Ground was first
performed by the
innovative Smith Quartet
at the Artrix,
Bromsgrove, on 27

A Klezmer
Wedding is a set of four
dances, newly-composed
but based on traditional
models. The Doina is an
expressive chant for
three successive
soloists; it twists and
turns with the wailing
lament of a shepherd's
pipe. Next follows the
Hora, a slow Rumanian
dance in three with a
mood that reflects the
wedding's solemn vows. A
Chusidl, with a moderate
speed and bouncy rhythms,
gets the party to the
dance floor. The
concluding Freylach
(happy, but still in a
minor key!) takes the
bride, groom, and guests
to the edge of
frenzy.

The
Austro-Hungarian composer
Erwin Schulhoff
(1894-1942) was musically
precocious: At the
suggestion of AntonÃn
Dvorák, he
receivedpiano lessons at
the age of seven, and at
the age of ten became a
student at the Prague
Conservatory. Further
piano studies in Vienna,
Cologne and Leipzig as
well as composition
lessons with Max Reger
supplemented his
education. His Jewish
heritage, which defamed
his music as
“degenerateâ€,
and his sympathy for
communism, however, cost
him his life. In Prague
and finally interned in
Wülzburg near
Weissenburg in Bavaria,
he died of tuberculosis.
Schulhoff's musical
significance lies in the
integration of jazz into
art music, for example in
his oratorio H.M.S. Royal
Oak or in his Hot Sonata
for alto saxophone and
piano. He earned his
living as a jazz pianist
for a long time. In
August 1922 he wrote four
short piano pieces, his
Rag Music, to which he
added four more phrases
in November: released as
Partita, also known as
Jazz-like Partita - with
the fashion dances
Ragtime, Foxtrott,
Shimmy, Boston and - as
No. 7 - a tango. From a
piano to a string quartet
movement, the arrangement
presents itself as a
delicate and smart,
technically not too
difficult sweet, suitable
as a diversion or
addition in a quartet
program.
