In a Persian Market: intermezzo-scene (1A) Back to list of works index

The work was first advertised as a piano piece in Musical Opinion (January 1921) under the heading "Educational novelties”. The orchestral version was published 6 months later. It is an easy piece to play well, and has always been popular with groups of all standards. Many diverse performances can be seen on YouTube, but only a few of the more interesting versions are indexed below. The variety of melodies is particularly attractive to Wurlitzer organists. A clip of Betty (of Wilson, Keppel and Betty) dancing to it can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srLc6dTsewM. The Two Ronnies used it in their Sultan’s Harem sketch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JvQKobVXq4

Its use in a music-and-movement class in a German primary school is described in the article Auf einem Persischen Market: ein Hit der Salonmusik wird zum Hit im Unterricht, by Lothar Schubert (Musik in der Schule, 1997 Heft 1, p.15-19).

The work is a basically a string of melodies, or pot-pourri. However, material is recapitulated in a manner vaguely resembling sonata form. The piece begins and ends like a patrol (crescendo as the patrol approaches, diminuendo as it disappears, c.f. Beethoven’s Turkish March) – but Ketèlbey has a Haydnesque surprise with the unexpected final loud chord.

Unlike In a Monastery Garden, with its sophisticated harmony and a religious aura, the simple diatonic and pentatonic melodies of In a Persian Market have proved a good starting point for jazz musicians.

Composer’s synopsis for his 1928 recording.

The camel-drivers enter the market, the cries of beggars for "Back-Sheesh" are heard, the princess arrives carried by her servants (this theme is repeated by full orchestra), she stays to watch the jugglers and snake-charmer. The Caliph announced by trumpets, now passes through the market, the beggars again cry out for "Back-Sheesh", the princess departs, the caravan resumes its journey, but everything is stilled for a few moments by the voice from the minaret calling to prayer; the caravan moves off, and the market place becomes deserted.

NB. The minaret music was never published, but two different versions were included in his own recordings.

The details for Fiedler’s versions are confused. Apart from the two on this webpage, there is third dating from 1958.

New Empire Orchestra (Decca K 523) contains only a fragment of this piece.

The scoring to this work is very straightforward, and the main differences in these early recordings are the cuts needed to fit the limit of a 78rpm side. In the table below there is no chorus except where noted.
