De Engelse componist, dirigent en pianist Albert W. Ketèlbey (1875-1959) werd vooral bekend met zijn kleurrijke instrumentaties die waren gebaseerd op oosterse muziek. In a Monastery Garden, waarschijnlijk het bekendste werkvan Ketèlbey, gecomponeerd in 1915, is een kort symfonisch gedicht. In dit arrangement voor harmonieorkest van Tohru Takahashi komt de sfeer van het oorspronkelijke werk uitstekend tot zijn recht.

Der englische Komponist, Dirigent und Pianist Albert W. Ketèlbey (1875-1959) machte sich besonders durch seine farbigen Instrumentierungen, die auf orientalischer Musik basierten, einen Namen. In a Monastery Garden, Ketèlbeys wohl bekanntestes Werk, gehört zu einer Reihe kurzer Tongedichte aus dem Jahre 1915. Diese Transkription von Tohru Takahashi wird der Atmosphäre des Originals voll und ganz gerecht.

Le compositeur, chef d’orchestre et pianiste anglais Albert W. Ketèlbey (1875-1959) est particulièrement connu pour ses orchestrations colorées au caractère orientaliste. Il est également l’auteur de plusieurs œuvres vocales. Plus tard, Ketèlbey composa essentiellement des musiques légères et divertissantes pour le cinéma muet. Il a travaillé pour de grandes maisons d’édition musicales et fut directeur artistique de la Columbia Gramophone Company.Composé en 1915, In a Monastery Garden (Dans le jardin d’un monastère) est sans doute le poème symphonique le plus connu du compositeur. Plusieurs autres œuvres de Ketèlbey portent des titres qui traduisent unevision mystérieuse et largement imaginaire : In a Persian Market (Sur un marché persan), In a Chinese Temple Garden (Au jardin d’une pagode chinoise) et In the Mystic Land of Egypt (L’Égypte mystique).Cette transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie signée Tohru Takahashi reste fidèle l’œuvre originale.

A few flavoursome introductory bars carry the listener off to a temple garden in Manchuria in North-eastern China. Mysterious incantations of the priests in the temple and the scent of incense set the scene, while the melody tells of two lovers. A Manchurian wedding procession passes by outside. In the street the coolies are becoming restless. Within the temple, all is calm. Again we hear the incantations of the priest before the lovers’ theme is heard in birdsong, with short quotes from the temple theme and coolie theme to end the piece.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MS

De sfeervolle inleidende maten van dit werk nemen de luisteraar mee naar een tempelhof in Mantsjoerije, in het noordoosten van China. Mysterieuze bezweringen van de priesters in de tempel en de geur van wierook vormen het decor, terwijl de melodie het verhaal van twee geliefden vertelt. Een Mantsoerijse bruiloftsstoet komt buiten langs. Op straat worden de koelies onrustig. In de tempel heerst een kalme sfeer. Opnieuw horen we de bezweringen van de priesters voordat het thema van de geliefden te horen is in vogelzang, met korte citaten uit het tempel- en het koeliethema ter afsluiting van de compositie.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MS

Albert Ketèlby entführt schon in den ersten Takten seines Werkes den Zuhörer in einen Tempelgarten in der Mandschurei im Nordosten Chinas. Geheimnisvolle Beschwörungen der Priester im Tempel, eine vorüber ziehende mandschurische Hochzeitsprozession und Unruhen unter den Kulis, die von einem Tempelgong beendet werden, kreieren eine exotische Szenerie, in der die Melodie die Geschichte zweier Liebender erzählt.Chorstimmen separat erhältlich: 1883-12-050 MS

Dès les premières mesures de l’introduction, Albert Ketèlby emporte l’auditeur dans le jardin d’un temple mandchou, dans le nord-est de la Chine. Les incantations mystérieuses des prêtres et le parfum de l’encens forment une toile de fond d’où se détache une mélodie qui parle de deux amants. Dehors passe un cortège nuptial. Dans la rue, les coolies s’affairent tandis que, dans le temple, le calme règne. C’est ainsi que se raconte l’histoire des heureux élus.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MS

Un’intro duzione di alcune battute ci accompagna nel giardino di un tempio in Manciuria, nel nord est della Cina. I segreti dei monaci e il profumo penetrante dell’incenso fanno da sottofondo ad una melodia che racconta di due amanti. All’esterno sfila un corteo nuziale. Un viaggio musicale in questa, a noi poco conosciuta, regione della Cina.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MS.

This work is among the subtropical plants series of composer Xiaogang Yes wroks, in which include Enchanted Bamboo, Hibiscus, Datura, December Chrysanthemum, Scent of Green Mango,etc. These works show the Southern-originated musicians sensitivity and attention to the natural environment in a country of the Far East. Gardenia indistinctly means eternal joy in Chinese context. It isborn in a moist natural environment with a kind of faintly fragrant scent; its white color is of high aesthetic value to Asians. Andit is usually used as food and medicine in South Asia. The gardenia honey is with mild sweet and faint sweet. The Gardenia is also acity flower of Yueyang City, which is a quiet and distant small city located in Hunan Province, South of China. When composing this work, the composer adopted folk operas and folk songs in the area of Yueyuang, showing his yearning and a sense of loss to the beautiful scenery in South China.

A recipient of the New Music USA 2013 Live Music For Dance Award commissioning grant, Not Alone is inspired by the ancient Chinese poet Li Bai's poem Drinking Alone under the Moon with the Shadow. The premiere was given on April 26, 2014 by the PRISM Quartet with the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, which commissioned the work to celebrate its 25th Anniversary NYC Season. From the Program Note by Matthew Levy (The PRISM Quartet), Not Alone (2014) is an interdisciplinary work...but it stands alone in a chamber music setting. The work spans a stunning range of textures, from introspective solos for each of the four saxophones to majestic hyper-active gestures. The PRISM Quartet recorded Not Alone for a 2017 release on XAS Records titled Paradigm Lost. But we're excited for a wider community of saxophonists to embrace the work, and share it with their own audiences. Not Alone is published together with Happy Birthday to PRISM, a brief miniature that Chen Yi wrote for the quartet's 20th anniversary celebration in 2004. For advanced performers.______________ ___________Text from the scanned back cover:NOT ALONE for Saxophone QuartetHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PRISM for Saxophone QuartetNot Alone is a 14-minute saxophone quartet and dance score inspired by the ancient Chinese poet Li Bai’s “Drinking Alone under the Moon with the Shadow.” The expansively-textured sax quartet matches the exploratory and dramatic movements and gestures in the dance. NOT ALONE was commissioned by the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company which premiered the work in collaboration with the PRISM Quartet. Also included in this publication is Chen Yi’s fascinating take on “Happy Birthday to You,” composed in celebration of Prism’s 25th anniversary season.

The poem describes the poet being alone in a garden. The moon and his shadow became his companions that night. The choreographer brings this idea to modern life in an urban setting. She created a series of “mindscapes” which are the result of the exploration of the different mental and physical states of being alone.Through self-examination, the choreographer raises the question: are we ever really alone? Our physical being may be standing by itself, but what about our introspective self? When we are still, we let our thoughts pass by like flowing water. If we could engage with our shadows, what would it be like?Program Note by Matthew Levy, The PRISM QuartetThe PRISM Quartet has commissioned a great many composers since our founding days in 1984. Chen Yi is among ahandful of our very favorites, and one to whom we’ve returned time and time again. Her music is powerful, expansive,intimate, and draws connections between Eastern and Western, ancient and modern traditions in a voice all her own.Chen Yi has written or adapted four works for the PRISM Quartet. She penned a wonderful miniature called HappyBirth day to PRISM to celebrate the ensemble’s 20th anniversary back in 2004 (Dedication, Innova Recordings).We subsequently commissioned her to compose Septet (2008) for Erhu, Pipa, Percussion, and Saxophone Quartet(2008), premiered and recorded with the New York ensemble Music From China (Antiphony, Innova Recordings 2010).In 2015, the PRISM Quartet performed and recorded (XAS Records) a new version of her saxophone quartet concerto,BA YIN, with the University of Missouri-Kansas City Wind Ensemble under the baton of Steven Davis (originally writtenfor the Rascher Quartet and scored for saxophones and string orchestra.).Finally, Not Alone (2014) is an interdisciplinary work written for the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company with the PRISMQuartet, but it stands alone in a chamber music setting. The work spans a stunning range of textures, from introspectivesolos for each of the four saxophones to majestic hyper-active gestures. The PRISM Quartet recorded Not Alonefor a 2017 release on XAS Records titled Paradigm Lost. But we’re excited for a wider community of saxophonists toembrace the work, and share it with their own audiences.In his liner notes for the recording, WNYC’s John Schaefer writes: “As with much of her music, Chen employs percussiveeffects and glissandi; in Chinese music these are not considered “extended techniques” or special effects, but animportant part of the performer’s arsenal. Here, they help create the twilit mood of the opening moments. The piecesoon becomes more dramatic, suggesting the arrival of the drinker’s companions (real or imagined) and his or herincreasingly garrulous outbursts. Passages of consonance and discord can easily be heard as companionable singingand bouts of drunken argument. The piece bustles along on a kind of restless energy, until, finally, that restlessnesssubsides, giving way to a gently humorous ending where a short falling phrase signals the drinker falling asleep.”.
