Simon Holt: A Table Of Noises (Full Score)

Simon Holt: A Table Of Noises (Full Score)

Commissioned jointly for Colin Currie by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. First performance on 14th May 2008, at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, by Colin Currie (percussion) and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins.NOTE FOR PERFORMANCEIn table top, the unpitched solo percussion part in the 9th movement, the scoring was initially left open. The present full score shows a suggested instrumentation  which was devised by Colin Currie in conjunction with the composer. Soloists  should attempt to match the timbres used, but should not feel constrained by the  exact choice of instruments.COMPOSER?S NOTEThe percussion instruments used in a table of noises in some ways represent the odd things that were on my great uncle Ash?s parlour table that fascinated me as a child. There is even a bottle; there was always a milk bottle with the silver top pushed in surrounded by other essentials for his life. From birth he was quite severely handicapped in one of his legs and couldn?t walk too far without his trusty crutch. He kept everything he needed within arm?s length. In the list of instruments for the solo part there?s everything from deep log drum sounds to very high metallic chime sounds. Wood, glass, metal and a whistle. Mostly small-scale things with a large gong behind, used sparingly. I think that we managed to keep below 30 instruments in all, which I was keen to do. I didn?t want scores of things that are only played once, they have to earn their keep. I didn?t want to use a marimba but thought that trying to make the xylophone sound in a more expressive way would be more of a challenge. The percussionist sits for much of the time on a Cajon, a flamenco instrument which is essentially a wooden box. The player hits the front of the box in various ways, rather as you play a conga. There are guitar strings inside and bells to add to the overall colour. I would like to thank Colin Currie for the extraordinary 3 hours or so that we spent in his percussion studio trying to find potential instruments for table top. I had fully notated the rhythms for the movement, which functions as a cadenza, and knew the kinds of sounds that I wanted, but as I don?t know all the instruments available we were able to collaborate in a very constructive way and make the cadenza what it is now. I see the chosen instruments as being the yardstick for all future performances.

Esa-Pekka Salonen: YTA III

Francis Poulenc: L?Histoire De Babar (For Narrator & Piano Duet ? One Piano, 4 Hands)

Francis Poulenc: L?Histoire De Babar (For Narrator & Piano Duet ? One Piano, 4 Hands)

During the visit to Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1940, Poulenc sketched a little piece for the children of his cousins: Sophie, Sylvie, Benoit, Florence and Delphine Périer, Yvan, Alain, Marie-Christine and Marguerite-Marie Villotte, and their two friends Marthe Bosredon and André Lecoeur. This took the form of a musical background to Jean de Brunhoff's popular illustrated children's story about Babar, a baby elephant whose mother is killed by a huntsman. Fortunately Babar meets a kind elderly lady who dresses him in a fine suit and gives him an impressive motor-car. However, Babar feels homesick for his forests, and is pleased when his cousins, Arthur and Celeste, find him and needs no persuasion to go home with them. Back in the forest, where the King of the Elephants has eaten a poisonous mushroom, Babar is elected to succeed as King. He marries Celeste, and the last we hear of him is thinking of a rosy future as he dreamily looks up at a marvellously star-filled sky. Poulenc 's score, to which he returned and completed in 1945, is for a narrator and a Piano, so written that the individual sections offer the pianist a number of self-contained descriptive pieces, such as a LULLABY, a RÊVERIE, a GALOP, a NOCTURNE and so on. Indeed, some of Poulenc's finest Piano music is found in these charmimg pages. In 1962, Jean Françaix made an orchestral version, and BABAR has been enjoyed by children of all ages all over the world. An English translation of the text was made by Nelly Rieu. A separate insert with English translation is included.
