Programmes Notes
GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL (1685-1759)
Zadok the Priest
From the time Handel settled in England in 1712, his achievement was such that he

attained a position of some eminence in the cultural life of the nation. In 1713, for
instance, he provided a Birthday Ode for Queen Anne and a Te Deum and Jubilate
to celebrate the peace of Utrecht, and ten years later he wrote his impressive set of
Coronation Anthems for the new King George II. While he remained first and
foremost a man of the theatre, Handel’s role as ‘composer laureate’ was maintained
for the rest of his life.
During the year 1727 Handel became a British subject, and on the death of King
George I, the composer began planning four anthems for the coronation of his
successor, George II. The resources made available certainly confirm the majesty
of the occasion: it seems there were more than 200 performers, including 160
instrumentalists and 47 singers, the latter being the members of the Chapel Royal.
But the performance standards did not match up to expectation, as the Archbishop
of Canterbury, William Wake, noted in his diary: ‘The anthems in confusion; all
irregular in the music.’

Zadok the Priest is the first of the four anthems which were introduced at the formal

ceremony of the coronation of King George II in Westminster Abbey on 11th October
1727. Handel took the libretto from the Book ofKings, which recounts the story of
when David crowned Solomon as King: ‘And Zadok the Priest took the horn of oil
from the sacred tent, and annointed Solomon.” This work has proved so successful,
not least because of its direct musical impact, that it has been played at every British
coronation ceremony, from 1727 to the most recent, in 1953.

SIR WILLIAM WALTON (1902-1983)
Coronation March: Orb and Sceptre
Walton’s two marches were specifically written for the coronations of George VI in
1937 and Elizabeth I in 1953. They are similar in form, though Crown Imperial is
the more straightforward harmonically: it is firmly diatonic, whereas Orb and
Sceptre, the later of the two, is luxuriously chromatic. After the fashion of Elgar,

both Walton marches have a highly memorable long tune as their contrasting trio
section, the sort of committed melodic gesture which in his time, Walton alone
seemed capable of inventing.

HANDEL

The King Shall Rejoice
The King Shall Rejoice uses vocal writing in six parts, with sub-divided altos and
basses, an imaginative and distinctive feature. The opening phase, with its uniquely
Handelian rhythmic verve, is particularly arresting, while there is an equally striking
concluding section, which takes the form of a double fugue.

SIR CHARLES HUBERT PARRY (1848-1918)
Blest Pair of Sirens
Parry was one of the leading figures in the development of British music and musical

life in the later part of the 19" century and the early years of the 20" century. This
phenomenon was significant enough to gain the description the ‘British Musical
Renaissance’, meaning that another golden age had been achieved. Parry contributed

to that renaissance in two particular ways: as one of the finest composers of the
period, whose work has endured, and as a leading figure in musical education, who

was responsible for encouraging the development of the next generation of
musicians.

Parry’s ode for chorus and orchestra, Blest Pair ofSirens, was dedicated to Charles
Villiers Stanford and the Bach Choir, who gave the first performance in May 1887.
This setting of words by John Milton uses an eight-part chorus and is generally
elevated in tone, building to an resplendent climax which fulfils expectations.
Moreover the thrilling opening passage made an immediate impression, and the
music has maintained its popularity ever since. The verses treat the central theme
of Man’s struggle and hopes.

LOUIS VIERNE (1870-1937)

Carillon de Westminster, Opus 54 No. 6
Louis Vierne studied with César Franck and was also the most important pupil of
Charles Widor.

From 1900 he was organist at Notre Dame in Paris, and his

performances there brought him widespread fame. Poor health and near-blindness
did not restrict his creative impulse, though after 1914 he had to resign his regular
position.

After the First World War, however, he embarked on a new career as a

concert organist, performing throughout Europe and in the United States.

Vierne’s music, though ranging through many different genres, is dominated by his

compositions for organ, and the Carillon de Westminster comes relatively late in
his output.

One of a group of Piéces de Fantaisie, it is dedicated to ‘mon ami

Henry Willis, Facteur d’orgues & Londres’.

Based on the famous Westminster

Chimes, the music builds from a quiet beginning to a powerful conclusion.
PARRY

Coronation Anthem: I was Glad
Parry composed the anthem 7 was Glad for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902,
and its spirit of noble confidence proved perfect for the occasion at the dawn of the
new century. That initial success is also reflected in the fact that the music has been
performed at every coronation ceremony since then. And deservedly so, since Parry’s

command of resources and technique delivers a true and uplifting vitality of
inspiration, which communicates as directly today as it did at the first performance
a hundred years ago.

WALTON

Coronation March: Crown Imperial
Crown Imperial, the first of Walton’s two coronation marches, was written for the
coronation of George VIin 1937. He received the commission to write ‘a symphonic
march for Coronation Week’ from the BBC, and took as his model the great Pomp

and Circumstance marches of Elgar, both in terms of form and mood. Therefore

the resplendent rhythmic writing of the outer sections provides the foil for the
memorable and noble melody which broadens into the work’s magnificent climax.

Guildford Philharmonic
In 2000, the Guildford Philharmonic sold out all of its concerts making it one of the
most successful musical organisations anywhere. It is at the heart of music-making in
the south east, with a huge repertoire extending from the 17th century to the present
day. The main concert season runs from October to July in a variety of venues including
the Guildford Civic, Guildford Cathedral, the Electric Theatre, Holy Trinity Church,
the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, and, for the first time this season, Guildford House
Courtyard. In addition, the orchestra is invited to give concerts throughout London
and the south of England in a number of venues which include Kenwood Park, Royal
Festival Hall, King’s College Cambridge, St George’s Chapel Windsor, and the cathedrals
of Winchester, Chichester, Canterbury and St Albans.

The Guildford Philharmonic’s scope ranges from concerts for children and with children,
via chamber concerts in more intimate venues, to large-scale choral and orchestral works.
The repertoire covers everything from jazz and light music to new music, and the
emphasis is to work with young soloists at the outset of their careers. En Shao was
appointed Principal Conductor in 1995, following in the illustrious footsteps of Crossley
Clitheroe, Vernon Handley, Sir Charles Groves and Sir Alexander Gibson. The orchestra
continues its work of attracting new audiences for all types of classical music and of

Guildford Municipal Orchestra). The Council is grateful to the South East Arts Board,
South East Music Trust, and to its major corporate sponsors BOC, Borax Europe Ltd,
The Guildford Nuffield Hospital, and Stevens & Bolton for financial assistance towards
the costs of running the orchestra during the 2001/2002 season.

Guildford Philharmonic Choir
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was founded in 1947 by the Borough of Guildford
to perform major works from the choral repertoire with the Guildford Philharmonic
Orchestra. The Choir is now independent from the Borough of Guildford but still

maintains close links with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra, with joint

performances once a year. The Choir grew to prominence under the batons of such

eminent British musicians as Sir Charles Groves, Vernon Handley and Sir David
Willcocks. Jeremy Backhouse, appointed in 1995, holds the position of conductor at

the present time, with Jeremy Filsell as rehearsal accompanist. Sir David remains in
close contact with the Choir as its current President.

The Choir enjoyed a challenging and exciting concert programme for the 1999-2000
season, including Haydn’s Creation and (together with members of its twin choir,
the Freiburger Bachchor), a gala performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion, sung in

German. In the 2000-01 series, the choir continued to perform major works, among
them Mozart’s Mass in C minor, Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem and Vaughan

Williams’ 4 Sea Symphony.
In June last year the choir was asked to provide a small chamber choir to sing Vivaldi’s
Gloria at St Martin’s-in-the-Fields, and in October the whole choir had the opportunity

to sing at the Royal Albert Hall accompanying the tenor, Russell Watson.

The 2001/02 season has included a performance of Handel’s Messiah, and two charity
concerts, one for the Mayor of Guildford’s Charity (a carol concert) and the other in
aid of the Guildford prostate cancer project. For this the choir performed Mozart’s
Vesperae solennes de confessore and Haydn’s Nelson Mass.

To complete this season the choir is to perform Mendelssohn’s Elijah on Saturday

25TM May in Guildford Cathedral. Joining them for this concert will be The Forest

Orchestra and soloists Caroline Lenton-Ward, Jeanette Ager, Michael Bundy and

Eugene Ginty.

If you would like any further information about the choir and its forthcoming season,

please contact Noreen Ayton on 01932 221918 or visit our website at
www.guildfordphilharmonicchoir.org.uk, where you will find full details. The choir

is always looking for new members, especially sopranos and tenors; prospective
members are welcome ‘o come along to rehearsals on a Monday evening in central
Guildford on an informal basis, before committing to an audition.
