Sir Roger de Coverley 布瑞基法朗克

弗兰克-布里奇（Frank Bridge，1879 - 1941）是当时英国著名的作曲家之一。1922 年 10 月，他将自己广受欢迎的弦乐四重奏《罗杰-德-科弗利爵士》改编为交响乐，亨利-伍德爵士在最后一刻同意将其纳入当月底举行的皇后音乐厅长廊音乐会的最后一晚。这首精致而多彩的管弦乐版本从未被广泛演奏过，但现在已被阿拉斯泰尔-惠勒（Alastair Wheeler）出色地改编成了一首适合 5 级音乐会乐队演奏的微型舞诗。布里奇对英格兰最著名的传统舞蹈旋律之一进行了生动的处理，将为任何音乐会画上一个完美的句号。布里奇引入 Auld Lang Syne 的曲调，是为了向罗杰-德-科弗利爵士的传统功能致敬，它是圣诞舞会的最后一支舞，就像狄更斯《圣诞颂歌》中费齐维格老先生的派对一样"

原文简介:
Frank Bridge (1879 – 1941) was one of the leading English composers of his time. In October 1922 he adapted his popular string quartet Sir Roger de Coverley for full symphony orchestra and Sir Henry Wood agreed, at the last minute, to include it in the last night of the Queen’s Hall Promenade Concerts at the end of that month. This elaborate and colourful orchestral version has never been widely performed, but has now been brilliantly transcribed by Alastair Wheeler to provide a miniature dance poem for grade 5 level concert band. Bridge’s lively treatment of one of England’s most famous traditional dance melodies will make a fitting end to any concert, with the strains of Auld Lang Syne introduced by Bridge as a nod towards Sir Roger de Coverley’s traditional function as the final dance of a Christmas Ball, as it was in Old Mr. Fezziwig’s party in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
