This new three movement work by the world renowned composer Philip Sparke is based on traditional folk songs, in particular popular children's songs, from Singapore.The first movement is based on Gelang Sipaku Gelang, a well-loved folksong which has become associated with the Geylang area and is a song about community spirit and people living together in harmony. The slower second movement uses Di-Tanjung Katong, a song which is popular with childrens' choirs and third the movement uses two traditional melodies - Lenggang Kangkung which tells of the graceful swaying of watercress in the rice paddy fields and Munnaeru Vaalibaa.Why not bring as little part of the orient to yourconcert with this exotic new work.
De drie delen van dit werk zijn gebaseerd op volksmelodieen die in Singapore populair zijn. In het eerste deel draait het om Gelang Sipaku Gelang, een volksliedje dat gaat over gemeenschapszin, over samenleven in harmonie.Di-Tanjung Katong, een liedje dat populair is bij kinderkoren, wordt gebruikt in het langzamere tweede deel. In deel drie komen twee traditionele melodieen naar voren: Lenggang Kangkung verhaalt over het gracieuze zwaaienvan waterkers in de rijstvelden. Uiteindelijk wordt dit in contrapunt gecombineerd met Munnaeru Vaalibaa.
Die drei Satze dieser Suite basieren auf vier traditionellen Volksliedern, die ganz Singapur als Kinderlieder kennt. Zusammen ergeben sie ein kontrastreicheres, eindrucksvolleres Bild von Singapur, als es eine Postkarte aus diesem fernen Land je abbilden konnte. Eine exotisch angehauchte musikalische Reise, auf die Sie Ihr Publikum gerne begleiten wird!
