Oorspronklik

Song of the Flea composed by Graham Waterhouse. For Speaking Voice, Cello. Modern. Sheet Music. Published by Heinrichshofen Verlag. PE.N02533. The satirical text of 'Song of the Flea' is taken from Goethe's 'Faust'. Part 1. and is recited by Mephistopheles during the scene 'Auerbachs Keller in Leipzig'. During a visit to the Liszt House in Weimar I discovered that among the numerous settings of Goethe poems were also fragments of sketches by Liszt for 'Es war einmal ein Koenig' for bass, male-voice choir, and piano. The composition may have been intended for the Goethe celebration in 1849, though the date of the sketches remains uncertain. Liszt may have known Beethoven's setting of the text for voice, choir, and piano from 1810. The distinctive rhythmical scanning, the cynical under-current, and the downright nonsensical element of the text, recalling an English genre of nonsense-poetry, combined to prompt me into attempting a setting of the poem myself. The spoken part of 'Song of the Flea' may be recited either by a second person or by the cellist himself. The part should be declaimed with variety of expression and may carry a discreet hint of sarcasm. Attention should be paid to clear articulation and to the balance between voice and cello. The voice risks being covered, especially in the 'arco'-passages. The player can make use of different colors of pizzicato by plucking nearer the bridge or nearer the fingerboard. It is recommended that pizzicato notes on the C-string. stems pointing upwards. be played with the thumb. For the upper three strings. stems pointing downwards. the second or first fingers may be used. Some players may prefer to play the passages in bars 132 to 136 and 175 to 180 with the first finger. Unless otherwise marked, the note D in pizzicato passages is to be played with open string. Pizzicato notes should be allowed to vibrate. Towards the close of the work, the 'geangte'. 'aggrieved'. cellist slaps with the left hand irritatedly on his left knee, then on his left cheek, on his right shoulder, and finally, with his right hand, resolutely on the finerboard. Before slapping the fingerboard the bow is swiftly taken by the left hand and the A, D, and G strings damped with the same hand, so that only the C string vibrates. The 'Song of the Flea' was composed in Spring 2000 and was first performed on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Professor Reiner Thomssen, to whom the work is dedicated. The first public performance was in November 2000 in Delmenhorst. Graham Waterhouse. Floh-Lied after a poem from Goethe's "Faust". for Speaking Voice and Violoncello.

Lied van die Vlooi saamgestel deur Graham Waterhouse. Vir Praat Voice, tjello. Moderne. Sheet Music. Gepubliseer deur Heinrichshofen Verlag. PE.N02533. Die satiriese teks van 'Lied van die Vlooi' is geneem uit Goethe se "Faust". Deel 1. en is vir tree deur Mefistofeles in die toneel 'Auerbachs Keller in Leipzig'. Tydens 'n besoek aan die Liszt House in Weimar ek ontdek dat onder die talle instellings van Goethe gedigte was ook fragmente van sketse deur Liszt vir 'Es oorlog einmal ein Koenig "vir bass, manlike-stem koor en klavier. Die samestelling kan bedoel is vir die Goethe viering in 1849, hoewel die datum van die sketse is steeds onseker. Liszt kan Beethoven se instelling van die teks vir stem, koor en klavier van 1810 geweet het. Die kenmerkende ritmiese skandering, die siniese onder huidige, en die ronduit nonsens element van die teks, herinner 'n Engelse genre van die nonsens-poësie, gekombineer my aan te spoor in 'n poging om 'n stel van die gedig myself. Die gesproke deel van 'Lied van die Vlooi "kan opgesê word óf deur 'n tweede persoon of deur die tjellis homself. Die deel moet deklameer word met 'n verskeidenheid van uitdrukking en kan 'n strategies wenk van sarkasme voer. Aandag moet aan duidelike artikulasie en die balans tussen stem en tjello betaal word. Die stem risiko's gedek, veral in die 'arco'-gedeeltes. Die speler kan gebruik maak van verskillende kleure van pizzicato deur pluk nader aan die brug of nader aan die vingerbord. Dit word aanbeveel dat pizzicato aantekeninge oor die C-string. stamme opwaarts. word met die duim gespeel. Vir die boonste drie snare. stamme wys afwaarts. die tweede of die eerste vingers kan gebruik word. Sommige spelers kan verkies om die gange te speel in bars 132-136 en 175-180 met die eerste vinger. Tensy anders aangedui, die nota D in pizzicato gange is om met 'n oop string gespeel word. Pizzicato notas moet toegelaat word om te vibreer. Teen die einde van die werk, die "geangte '. 'Gegrief'. tjellis klap met die linkerhand irritatedly op sy linkerknie, dan op sy linker wang, op sy regter skouer, en uiteindelik, met sy regterhand, vasberade op die finerboard. Voor klap die vingerbord die boog is vinnig geneem deur die linkerhand en die A, D en G snare gedempte met dieselfde hand, sodat net die C snaar vibreer. Die "Lied van die Vlooi 'is gekomponeer in die lente van 2000 en die eerste keer opgevoer op die viering van die 70ste verjaardag van Professor Reiner Thomssen, aan wie die werk word gewy. Die eerste openbare optrede was in November 2000 in Delmenhorst. Graham Waterhouse. Floh-Lied na 'n gedig van Goethe se "Faust". Praat vir Voice en Tjello.
