Description:The Suite from “Henry V” is a 1963 adaptation for concert use of Walton's score for the 1944 film directed and produced by Laurence Olivier who also played the leading role. The suite, arranged by Muir Mathieson, is in five Overture – The Globe Playhouse; Passacaglia – Death of Falstaff; Charge and Battle; "Touch her soft lips and part"; and Agincourt Song. The suite was first performed at a recording session for EMI on 15 October 1963 by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by the composer. In addition to this suite, EMI had in 1946 recorded another LP called "Henry Scenes from the film" in which Laurence Olivier spoke lines of Shakespeare's play over an orchestral and choral underscore derived from the film soundtrack. . . . . Sir William Turner Walton OM (1902-1983) was an English composer. During a sixty-year career, he wrote music in nearly every classical genre and style, from film scores to opera. His best-known works include Façade, the cantata Belshazzar's Feast, the Viola Concerto, and the First Symphony. Walton’s music has often been too neatly dismissed by a few descriptive ‘bittersweet’, ‘nostalgic’ and, after World War II, ‘same as before’. Such convenient categorizations ignore the expressive variety of his music and slight his determination to deepen his technical and expressive resources as he grew older. His early discovery of the basic elements of his style allowed him to assimilate successfully an astonishing number of disparate and apparently contradictory influences, such as Anglican anthems, jazz, and the music of Stravinsky, Sibelius, Ravel, and Elgar, to name a few. Walton’s allegiance to his basic style never wavered and this loyalty to his own vision, along with his rhythmic vitality, sensuous melancholy, sly charm, and orchestral flair, gives his finest music an imperishable glamour.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
