Wildhawk: descriptive Indian romance
The piece was published for piano solo and for small
orchestra (7 players?) in 1913. The
piano solo was re-issued in 1924 with a few revisions, and at the same time the
orchestral set was expanded for a full band.
Composer’s synopsis
The first theme represents a Red-Indian scout listening on the ground - a few more Indians join him - the scout is left to watch alone. The jingling of bells announces the arrival of the white convoy and a skirmish ensues with a few Indians. The TRIO represents the western lovers and a sudden attack on the coach by Indians who are driven off - the lovers' theme is resumed and a few bars bring the piece to a conclusion.

Ketèlbey’s recording cuts 16 bars of the Skirmish (marked as a repeat in the
orchestral parts). During the Sudden
Attack, the strings play pizzicato, whereas in the 1924 parts they are tremolo
– this probably represents the original 1913 orchestration. The 1913 text is also followed in having no
slowing down for the Lovers’ Theme. Hear
it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A549GlyrmI&list=OLAK5uy_nosgSLwQR0rQ9IdZNBzjiQ_h3J95inavo&index=10
Yates follows the 1924 text,
but lacks the tenor trombone part, which was not available at the time of
recording. It could now be reconstructed
from the trombone part of the 1913 version, which has since come to light. During the Sudden Attack, the gun shots are
not quite as written in the score, and the percussion section also lacks sleigh
bells and triangle.

for orch sync.mp3 Note that both his and Yates’s versions are
timed at 3’59” whereas Ketèlbey has to play fast and make a cut to finish his 10-inch side in 2’57”.
Will You Forgive?
Setting
of a poem that forms an integral part of the novel This
Frail Woman, by
Andrew Soutar (London: Hutchinson & Co.
[1924]). The sheet music refers to a
silent film of the same name, but no further details have been traced. When this song was published with solo
instrument (violin, cello or cornet) replacing the voice, it was renamed A
Dream Idyll.
Synopsis of the novel
The plot tells the story of Benjamin Wickerstaffe,
a provincial solicitor in partnership with Ambrose Jollipen. He is secretly in love with a doctor's
daughter, Josephine, but she marries Sir Clayton Elme,
a coarse member of the landed gentry.
The marriage is loveless, and Sir Clayton is a bully. While on holiday in Portugal, Josephine has
an adulterous affair with John Rallimore. Sir Clayton divorces her, and Josephine
becomes a social outcast with only Wickerstaffe for a
friend. These two now reveal their love
for one another, but she dies in childbirth.
Wickerstaffe secretly
supports the orphan, Robert D'Arcy, and when he leaves school takes him into
the partnership. D'Arcy absconds with
£6000, and the firm slowly declines. Jollipen only finds out when the creditors are threatening
bankruptcy, but D'Arcy returns to repay his debt.
Forgiveness is one of the themes of the novel. Josephine and Wickerstaffe
seek one another's forgiveness for missing the opportunity to marry, Wickerstaffe seeks Jollipen's
forgiveness for leading the firm to the brink of ruin, D'Arcy seeks forgives
for absconding.
The song Will You Forgive? appears
twice. The first two verses are sung by
Josephine to Wickerstaffe before she is married. Then Wickerstaffe
asks Jollipen's wife to sing it to him some time
after Josephine's death. The author of the poem is revealed to be Wickerstaffe himself.

These
two recordings are very similar, with the latter benefiting from more clarity
in the accompaniment. It is also
slightly faster, taking 7 seconds less than the other. The 1924 Naxos transfer
sounds in Db, the 1926 played at standard 78 rpm sounds in C. Hear the earlier recording at https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=XGboFRXEK5s&list=RDAMVMXGboFRXEK5s
With Honour Crowned: grand march
According to Musical
Opinion (March 1935) page 483, the work was first performed by on 9th
February 1935:
With
Honour Crowned, new grand march by
Albert W. Ketèlbey, received a tremendous ovation and was repeated when
recently performed for the first time and broadcast from the packed Kingsway
Hall (a special Ketèlbey Concert), London on February 9th.
A review of this concert on
page 525 gives the performers as the Band of the Royal Horse Guards, conducted
by the composer. Although the Kingsway
Hall Choral Society also appeared in this concert, the absence of comment
suggests that they did not sing the optional choral part in this piece.

The
recordings on C 2845 and BD 105 are only of excerpts. The latter can be heard
at https://search.sohoproductionmusic.co.uk/album/a94114164911cff1/be494e2af6c0d7c3/en?accountserviceid=145e2b8d68c4a0b6
The massed bands were recorded at the 1936 Aldershot
Tattoo, and (as W. A. Chislett mentioned in the contemporary Gramophone
review) the ensemble of such a large gathering in an outdoor recording is
remarkably precise. The recording
reprises the trio in Bb rather than Eb, and omits the concluding
bars. The speed is a constant 122 steps
a minute.
The London Concert Orchestra recording was part of a
series made to provide music for newsreels, etc. It was in fact used in a newsreel documenting
the surrender of Japan in 1945, reproduced at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcnH_kF1zXc
beginning at 5’ 26”.
Robinson cuts two short repeats. The main section is at 130 crotchets a
minute, but the trio slows down to 94. Hear him at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_nmYInFdyM
Aliberti and Faris both
take a slower tempo of crotchet=110, and Aliberti
slows down even slower for part of the trio. He makes one short cut of 8 bars,
and uses glockenspiel rather than tubular bells.
Faris includes saxophones in his orchestra. Hear
Faris at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEkaanxgn1M
Bashford is slightly slower, at crotchet=107. His bells have a marvellously rich tone. The penultimate bar is cut. Hear it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oEgfUghJ3o
Ellsasser
has the typical organist’s attitude that his harmony is better than the
composer’s. He finds it difficult to
reconcile the legato melody of the trio with the underlying march rhythm, and
makes both very choppy. His tempo is a
very turgid crotchet=88. His organ has a
patent device called a Dynamic Accentor, which may be responsible for the
strident tone. Hear it at www.albertketelbey.org.uk/mp3/with
honour crowned - Ellsasser.mp3
The recording by Workman uses
his own arrangement, and was made at a live performance on Bournville Carillon,
Birmingham, on 9th August 2003.
With the Roumanian Gypsies: phantasie
Published in
1935. An advert reported that
“Albert W. Ketèlbey's
wonderful new phantasie took the Public by storm at
the recent special Ketèlbey Concerts at Buxton,
Margate, Blackpool and Bridlington.”
During World
War II, the English title was changed to In a Romany Camp, probably on
account of the hostilities. For an
arrangement for solo piano with string orchestra, see Romany Rhapsody.
Composer’s synopsis
This
work opens with a few of the Gypsy orchestra playing a Romany Love-Song; this
attracts attention and they burst into a characteristically Tzigane melody; a
shepherd's pipe is now heard from the hills and leads into the Love-Song played
by Cello, Viola and Oboe and then, through changing keys, by the full
orchestra. A Gypsy Dance now follows,
and with a quotation from the Love-Song played by full Brass, brings the work
to an excited finish.

Staab’s version can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKOf-Yu_Ong
The
recording on BC 1005 is drastically cut, lasting only 2’ 50” compared with
Rowland’s full length 6’ 45”. Everything before the Shepherd’s Pipe is lost,
plus one complete strain in the Gypsy Dance, as well as much repeated
material. The orchestra includes a harp
not in the composer’s scoring.
Guy
Rowland also plays more notes than written by the composer. At one point he adds a whole bar, apparently
to facilitate a page turn. In the Gypsy
Dance there are additional glissandi, broken chords and flourishes.
The Wonder Worker: a comic
opera
For information about this
work see http://www.albertketelbey.org.uk/pdfs/wonder%20worker.pdf
The only surviving music is
the published vocal score, containing the sung parts with a piano
accompaniment. Only one copy of this has
ever been located (in the BBC Library), and the question arises, why was it
ever published at all? – The show was never revived after the first run and
tour, so was the musical type set up in advance for use by the original
performers? It seems like a spectacular
marketing failure.
In our opinion, most of the
music lacks interest without the words.
It isn’t until two numbers from the end that the first slightly dramatic
moment occurs.
Brief
synopsis of the opera
Elizabeth
visits Sir John, and is asked to bless the union of Guy and Marjorie. Bungay falls out of a tree in front of
Elizabeth, and she makes him do a prediction.
When he again predicts that Guy will marry Marjorie, Guy comes out of
hiding to refuse this. Elizabeth order
the arrest of both Guy and Bungay.
At
Windsor Castle, Elizabeth arranges it to be intimated to Bungay that he is to
be hanged. Bertram the jester promises to help Bungay escape in order to win
the hand of Hilda. Bertram and Bungay exchange clothes. Elizabeth finds out, and is much amused by
the sight of thin Bertram in fat Bungay's clothes, and Bungay in Bertram's
clothes. She has apparently freed Guy,
and frees Bertram and Bungay, the latter on condition that he gives up
astrology.

The
computer-realised numbers selected below for listening are the ones we consider
to have greater intrinsic musical value.
The realisation is mainly based on the piano part, which usually
duplicates the sung material. Guy and
Eleanor, the leading man and lady, are represented by cello and violin
respectively. The realisation of the
introduction is based on a re-orchestration.
The wordless chorus is Ketèlbey’s original
scoring.

Ye Gods: incidental music to the fantastical farce
Ye
Gods: a fantastical farce, by Stephen Robert and Eric Hudson, opened at the Kingsway Theatre on
20th May 1916, and was also later produced at the Strand, Aldwych and
Shaftesbury Theatres, receiving more than 200 performances. The only sheet music to be published was the
Waltz, which was also recorded. Many of
the same themes occur (in duple time rather than the triple time of the waltz)
in Wonga, which probably more closely represents what was played in the
theatre.
Premise of the

The published music was
intended for dancing, and is therefore a full-length waltz lasting 359
bars. The composer’s recording reduces
this to 191, mainly by cutting repeated material, but also one whole
section. This latter section however
appears in Wonga, and was also re-used in In the Mystic Land of Egypt. The record needs to be played so that the
piece starts in A minor. Unusually for recordings this early, the orchestra
includes both oboe and bassoon.
McCanna’s realisation, based
on the published version for solo piano, is complete, and can be heard at http://www.albertketelbey.org.uk/mp3/synth/Ye

Ypres 1914: march
Presumably composed soon after the 1914
battle, since the continuing reverses and suffering during the subsequent years
would have blunted the patriotic enthusiasm felt immediately after the victory
for the Allies, consequently devaluing this particular episode. It is possible that the march was not written
for general consumption, but commissioned by a particular regimental band. No published parts have been traced.
The second section was later re-used in A
State Procession, from Cockney Suite. There it forms part of the music being
“played by the regimental
bands as they pass along the route”.
