A Young Persons Guide to Composition Variations on a Theme of Benjamin Britten

for Orchestra

A Young Person’s Guide to Composition This piece was commissioned by the London Chamber Orchestra as part of its Music Junction project in 2014. Music Junction is a creative music-making project that aims to engender a lasting love of music and to increase empathy between young people from different backgrounds. (More information about the project can be found at www.lco.co.uk) The first performance was given on 22 May 2014 at Cadogan Hall, London by the London Chamber Orchestra alongside young people from Kent, Berkshire, Waltham Forest and Havering, conducted by Christopher Warren-Green. The work was composed using motives, melodies and rhythmic ideas created by the young people involved in response to the four emotions (chosen by the composer) of Hope, Excitement, Courage, and Pride, as well the melody from Benjamin Britten’s Begone, Dull Care! from Friday Afternoons.

Instrumentation Young Musicians (all instruments) Piccolo 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets 2 Bassoons 4 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in B flat 2 Trombones Bass Trombone Tuba Timpani Percussion (4 players: xylophone, triangle, castanets, tambourine, woodblock, whip, crash cymbals, tam-tam, snare drum, bass drum) Harp Violin I Violin II Viola Violoncello Double Bass N.B. this orchestration is identical to Britten's orchestration for The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Percussionists should use same size of cymbals, tam-tam, woodblock, etc. as they would in the Britten.

PERFORMANCE NOTES A Young Person’s Guide to Composition is designed to be played by (any number) of young musicians (on any instrument, from beginner to the more advanced player) and orchestra. It is in part a homage to Benjamin Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, and, as Britten’s work comprises variations on a theme from Purcell, this work takes Britten’s Begone, Dull Care! from Friday Afternoons as its inspiration. Each of the four movements (Hopeful Harmonies, Exciting Ostinati, Courageous Rondo, and Prideful Passacaglia) should ideally be played by a different group of young performers. The finale should be sung by all the groups together, along with the audience! The work is also performable without any young performers, for orchestra alone. In this case all passages with small note heads (in the orchestral parts) should always be played. When the piece is performed with young players, the default starting point should be for the orchestral musicians to play all the passages with small note heads. If desired,however, some or all of these small note headed passages may be omitted from the orchestral parts (for instance, if the young performers are able and willing to play particular passages without the support of the orchestra. At two points in the score (at the end of Exciting Ostinati and Prideful Passacaglia) there is space for improvisations created by the young performers. These improvisations are optional, and if not created/performed, the orchestra simply plays their last bar as written and proceeds to the next movement attacca. The improvisations, if created, should take inspiration from the motives existing in the preceding movement, as well as from the relevant emotion (Excitement or Pride). The following comments are general and relate to the entire work: The dynamics in the score denote the desired dynamic heard by the conductor/audience (e.g. no compensatory dynamics such as marking the brass at a lower dynamic are used in this score). It it presumed that harp chords (of three notes or more) will be lightly arpeggiated unless otherwise specified (an arpeggiation line denotes a slower spread, and a bracket no arpeggiation at all). In the strings, single lines (sometimes immediately) following divisi lines are always to be played tutti. When chords/dyads in string parts are not divided into upper and lower parts they are to be played non divisi unless specified otherwise (even if this results in a slight arpeggiation of the chord). In the bass part, upper, bracketed notes (when they occur) should only be played by bassists with no low extension. The suggestions for the types of instrument to be played in the in the young performers parts are suggestions only and indicate the desired kind of timbre etc. All of the percussion in the young performers parts is optional, and keeping this to a minimum (so not to obscure the orchestral percussion) is preferable but not essential. If desired the young performers parts can be simplified for some of the players (e.g. playing the first note in each bar) as long as none of the harmonic content is muddied or disrupted. Similarly, parts that are too taxing may be omitted, as long as this part (which may be written in small note heads in the relevant orchestral part) is played. © Cheryl Frances-Hoad 2014
