En Bateau, d'après Watteau (piano reduction) by Anthony Gilbert Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music

By Anthony Gilbert

Piano reduction of the original version for soprano, recorder, oboe, violin and cello.This pair of songs was written as an 80th-birthday tribute to Sir John Manduell, CBE, formerly Principal of the Royal Northern College of Music, and a great francophile. Watteau and Wagner haunted both of these poets; indeed Proust's young alter ego, at his moment of epiphany in Combray, invokes Lohengrin and Baudelaire's musical revelation in the same sentence. The songs loosely connect the two poets by yet another Wagnerian-Watteauesque route, the sea, amd by some traces of Wagnerian harmony. First we have turbulence, not inappropriate to Baudelaire, then a corresponding ornate calm for Proust. Their first performance was given by Lesley-Jane Rogers, soprano and the Manchester Chamber Players at St. Martin's Church, Bowness-on-Windermere, on 13th August 2008.
