In a Monastery Garden: characteristic intermezzo
Back to list of works index
There
are conflicting accounts of the origins of this piece, and when writing my own liner
notes I was not aware of all the details.
Here are four accounts:
1. From Franciscans Here and There no.34:
During Fr. Edgar's noviciate… a visit was made
to Chilworth in 1910 by Fr. Edgar's brother,
Joseph. The latter, as J.H. Larway, was a well-known music publisher… He brought with
him to Chilworth on this 1910 visit a man who was at
that time distinguished as a composer, conductor and musical editor: Albert Ketelbey… Joseph Larway and
Albert Ketelbey were taken round the friary and
grounds of Chilworth.
During the tour of the woods Ketelbey turned to Joseph Larway and said "I've got an idea. If I put it on paper, will you publish it." The idea or
inspiration was In a Monastery Garden.
Between one thing and another some time elapsed
before the various parts were ready for publication… In 1915 Joseph Larway…
took out the copyright…
What was the surprise Fr. Edgar had in store for his guests at the 1959
Jubilee of his 50 years in the Order?
Notwithstanding the many moves a friar may have in 50 years Fr. Edgar
went up to his cell to bring down a remnant he had stored, and saved from the
wreck of many moves. It was the score of
the original MS of Ketelbey's In a Monastery
Garden…
Asked if he would mind this original score going into the archives of the Province, Fr. Edgar not only agreed, but agreed most willingly, and handed over the MS, which was once described in a musical review as "touching the hearts of millions of people"…
2. This account is included in the article In
a Monastery Garden, by Albert W. Ketelbey, in Music Masterpieces Part 12
(18th March 1926), page 183:
It is highly necessary to feel what one writes, and also to have the
right kind of inspiration. When I was
writing In a Monastery Garden, one of my most popular compositions, I
was for the time being an imaginary monk, and as in my earlier days I had had
certain ascetic inclinations it was not difficult to get myself into a suitable
frame of mind.
The first inspiration to write the piece came to me during a visit to
Scarborough. I happened to drive over to Bridlington
one day, and on the way I visited a beautiful old monastery. Its quietude and its aloofness from the
gaiety of the world at its doors seemed to cry aloud for expression through the
medium of the orchestra. I had an idea,
and when I returned home I set to work to draw a musical picture of the scene
as it had impressed itself upon my mind - the chanting of the monks, the
serenity and calm of the landscape, and the emotional aspect generally.
I have always thought it a great compliment
that many clergymen have asked me to allow them to incorporate the
"chant" section of the piece into their church services.
3. The
following account was given in Radio Times (4th September 1931) page
203:
In a Monastery Garden was commissioned for
performance in a seaside resort. The idea for it came to the composer during a
visit to a monastery while out motoring.
At first no publisher would take it unless Ketélbey[sic] removed the Kyrie
section: but later a publisher bowed to Ketélbey's
will, and it became, Kyrie and all, one of the world's "best
sellers".
4. Ketčlbey's colleague, Herbert C. Ridout, has the following in Behind
the needle, 5: Looking over forty years of the gramophone (in The
Gramophone November 1940 page 132):
It was in October 1915 that we issued a record of a then unknown work
called In a Monastery Garden, and I think we must have been animated by
the wish to give our friend Albert Ketelbey's piece a
good send-off, because the coupling on the record was the more famous Destiny
waltz. But there soon came a time when Monastery
Garden stood quite well on its own merits, and became such a success that
it pointed out a distinct path for its composer to follow.
I know Albert Ketelbey would have prefered [sic] to be identified with the more serious music
he had composed and published (some of it under the nom-de-plume of
Anton Vodorinski) and, but for a purely accidental
happening in connection with his Monastery Garden, this might have well
been the case. The story really began
two years or so earlier and in a recording atmosphere, so it is quite apropos
here.
Among the members of the orchestra regularly
employed by Ketelbey for recording was a clarinet player called Scoma. In the summer
months every year, when orchestral engagements in London were at their lowest
ebb, Scoma himself conducted an orchestra of his own
in Bridlington during the holiday season. Being great friends with Ketelbey,
Scoma asked him if he would write for him an original
orchestral work that he could feature as a novelty in his seaside programmes. That was
in 1912. After paying a visit to Scoma at Bridlington, Ketelbey conceived the idea of In a Monastery Garden
and passed the manuscript to Scoma. The latter soon began to report in excited
letters that the little work not only aroused enthusiasm when played, but that
he was receiving enquiries as to its publication. Scoma repeated the
performances the following season, and this time declared that he had been
pestered with requests for it in published form, rather shrewdly,
however, advising the composer against publication for the moment, urging
patience until it had been thoroughly tried out. He played it yet a third year at Bridlington, but this time news of its reception had
traveled to London independently, for Ketelbey was approached by several London
publishers anxious to secure it. Eventually J.H. Larway
was the publisher chosen - at Ketelbey's own terms!
Summary. There
appear to have been two pre-publication versions. The piano manuscript was with Edgar Larway at Chilworth, while the
orchestral parts were with Enrico Scoma at
Bridlington. Even after publication,
there is one difference of harmony between the two versions that makes them
incompatible.
What
none of these accounts mentions is that the first appearance of In a
Monastery Garden nationwide was as the recording on Regal
records. This appeared in the Regal catalogue for May 1914, the year before the publication
of the sheet music. This first recording
uses a different orchestration from the published one, and has details closer
to the piano version.
Composer’s
synopsis
The first theme represents a poet's reverie in
the quietude of the monastery garden amidst beatific surroundings - the calm
serene atmosphere - the leafy trees, and the singing birds. The second theme in the minor, expresses the
more "personal" note of sadness, of appeal and contrition. Presently the monks are heard chanting the
Kyrie Eleison (which should
be sung by the orchestra) with the organ playing and the chapel-bell
ringing. The first theme is now heard in
a quieter manner as if it had become more ethereal and distant; the singing of
the monks is again heard - it becomes louder and more insistent, bringing the
piece to a conclusion in a glow of exaltation.
