Original tekst

The composer writes. Pilgrim was inspired, it will be no surprise to learn, by reading Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress - Vaughan Williams's great opera on the subject had fascinated me from its first performance, yet it was a long time before I caught up with this essential item in any well-stocked library of English classics. It made a great impression, not least because of its theme of a journey of self-discovery, and a rediscovery or renewal of faith. These are ideas which have a strong interest for me, not in religious terms but in their application to every aspect of human life. including great journeys. , and this piece reflects my response in musical terms to this concern. The tempo of the whole piece, which lasts about 18 minutes, is basically slow. There are two quick episodes, but these act somewhat like the trio sections of a classical scherzo, save that the tempo relationships are inverted. the classical trios would have been slower, not quicker. and the canvas is much larger, being that of a single, substantial, slow movement. The form of the whole is perhaps fantasia-like rather than having any relationship to classical forms such as sonata or rondo - some motifs and themes are varied as the work develops, and the opening chords are of primary importance throughout the work. There has been no attempt to convey any pictorial elements deriving from Bunyan's great book. There is, however, one feature which, upon completion of the score, struck me with some force, which is that almost all the thematic material is essentially striving upwards - there is a constant upward movement. sometimes over a lengthy period. throughout the work. Pilgrim was commissioned by the Luton Music Club for the Raphael Ensemble with funds provided by the Eastern Arts Board and Bedfordshire County Council, and is dedicated to the Luton Music Club. The first performance was given in Luton on February 10th 1997 and followed, as part of a joint scheme, by performances in the same week at the Music Clubs of Bedford and Leighton Buzzard.

Komponisten skriver. Pilgrim var inspireret, vil det ikke være nogen overraskelse at lære, ved at læse Bunyan s Pilgrims Progress - Vaughan Williams store opera om emnet havde fascineret mig fra uropførelsen, men det var en lang tid, før jeg fik fat i denne vigtige post i enhver godt -lager bibliotek af engelske klassikere. Det gjorde et stort indtryk, ikke mindst på grund af dens tema af en rejse i selvopdagelse og en genopdagelse eller fornyelse af tro. Det er ideer, som har en stærk interesse for mig, ikke i religiøse termer, men i deres anvendelse på alle aspekter af menneskers liv. herunder store rejser. , Og dette stykke afspejler mit svar i musikalske udtryk på denne bekymring. Tempoet af hele stykket, der varer omkring 18 minutter er dybest set langsom. Der er to hurtige episoder, men disse handler lidt ligesom trio sektioner af en klassisk scherzo, gemme, at tempoet relationer inverteret. de klassiske trioer ville have været langsommere, ikke hurtigere. og lærredet er meget større, er, at en enkelt, omfattende, langsom bevægelse. Formen af ​​det hele er måske fantasia-lignende snarere end at noget forhold til klassiske former såsom sonate eller rondo - nogle motiver og temaer er forskellige som arbejdet udvikler sig, og åbningen akkorder er af største betydning i hele arbejdet. Der har ikke været noget forsøg på at formidle eventuelle billedlige elementer udledt Bunyan store bog. Der er dog én funktion, som efter afslutningen af ​​den score, slog mig med en vis kraft, som er, at næsten alle de tematiske materiale væsentlige stræber opad - der er en konstant opadgående bevægelse. undertiden over en længere periode. hele arbejdet. Pilgrim blev bestilt af Luton Music Club for Raphael Ensemble med midler fra østlige Arts Board og Bedfordshire County Council, og er dedikeret til Luton Music Club. Uropførelsen blev givet i Luton den 10. februar 1997, og fulgt som led i en fælles ordning, ved forestillinger i samme uge på The Music Clubs of Bedford og Leighton Buzzard.
