Hugh Wood: Symphony Op.21 (Study Score)

Hugh Wood: Symphony Op.21 (Study Score)

Commissioned by the BBC. Premiere: 23 July 1982 Henry Wood Promenade Concert, Royal Albert Hall, London.The work is cast in four distinct movements, though as in Wood's violin concerto there is only one pause in the music, between the second and third; even here the break is minimised in effect by a resumption of motivic arguments. In terms both of harmonic structure and of expressive development, the four movements seem to have been conceived as a single, unified progression. While melodic and harmonic details are both derived from an intensive working of a handful of intervallic figures, in a way that owes much to his earlier serialism, Wood?s handling is here free enough to encompass a large-scale sense of tonal structure as well. Ths same tritone that inflicted so much of the melodic writing in Wood's 'cello concerto also affects the symphony. The music struggles to escape from an uncertain E/E flat area which dominates the first movement, towards an eventual unequivocal A major in the work?s final pages. Emotionally, however, this trajectory more closely resembles that of the Third Quartet - except that where the quartet opens in frozen despair, the symphony begins in tumultuous violence.

A Midsummer Night's Dream Op.21 : Ouvertüre. Autograph: Biblioteka Jagiellonska Kraków

A Midsummer Night's Dream Op.21 : Ouvertüre. Autograph: Biblioteka Jagiellonska Kraków

An enchanted night, virtually fragrant dreams, floating fairies – the sensory associations evoked and fashioned by the music of Mendelssohn’s overture “A Midsummer Night’sDream” are almost inexhaustible.Written by the composer in 1826 in a carefree summer spent between the summerhouse and his siblings, this is without doubt Mendelssohn’s most popular concertoverture.The renowned musicologist Friedhelm Krummacher shows in the introduction how finely Mendelssohn interwove motifs and themes. He also looks into the origins of the work, especially a conjecturalfirstsketch, which is reproduced in facsimile in the appendix.To mark the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn’s birth, Bärenreiter in cooperation with the Biblioteka Jagiellonska Kraków published ahigh-quality facsimile designed for the bibliophile, vividly bringing the composer’s delicate handwriting to life.
