Warsaw Concerto for piano & orchestra (for the film "Dangerous Moonlight"/"Suicide Squadron")
Composition Description by Blair Johnston
Sometimes a piece of music appears at just the right time and in just the right context to become an indelible part of peoples' experience and memories. So it was with Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto for piano and orchestra — a pastiche of the quintessential romantic piano concerto, composed for use in the 1941 British film Dangerous Moonlight, in which a Polish pianist finds himself caught up in the Battle of Britain. The original idea of the filmmakers (one of whom, Terence Young, would go on to direct three out of the first four James Bond films) was reportedly to use Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 18 as the musical centerpiece of the film, but that idea was ultimately dropped in favor of commissioning a new, Rachmaninov-like piece from Addinsell and orchestrator Roy Douglas. The music of the Warsaw Concerto is used in the film both as incidental music and as the subject of a performance in the film (a concert worked into the plot); it fills and surrounds each moment, its passion and nostalgia (it was modeled on Rachmaninov, after all) movingly at odds with the horrific reality of life in Britain in 1941. Not at all surprisingly, audiences embraced the Concerto, which soon appeared on record and in sheet music adaptations and arrangements.
The Warsaw Concerto is not a full concerto in the usual sense of the word; it is in one movement only and lasts under ten minutes. The opening is certainly dramatic enough; the piano enters with a gusto matched perhaps only by the Grieg Piano Concerto's opening plunge; tympani alone supports this first gasp. A deliciously syrupy second theme — a melody once famous and instantly recognized around the globe — is pure Rachmaninov (its cadence-moment is borrowed straight from the Piano Concerto No. 2), but one should not think any less of Addinsell's effort for its unabashed stylistic borrowings. The effort is supremely skillful, the music graceful, and not overly self-indulgent; it is worth noting that many similar pastiches that appeared in films and on discs over the course of the next two decades have all been basically forgotten, leaving Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto to mark the genre. It helps to remember how desperately the suffering Britons needed a warmth like Rachmaninov's, even as diffused through another composer, in 1941.

Composer. He is known chiefly for his movie music. Addinsell's "Warsaw Concerto" for piano and orchestra, written for the film "Dangerous Moonlight" (1941), has enjoyed independent life as a concert piece. As so often happens with composers and their most popular works, he didn't think highly of it. His other movie credits include "Fire Over England" (1937), "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" (1939), "Gaslight" (1940), "A Diary for Timothy" (1945), "Blithe Spirit" (1945), "Under Capricorn" (1949), "A Christmas Carol" (aka "Scrooge", 1951), "The Prince and the Showgirl" (1957), "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" (1961), "Waltz of the Toreadors" (1962), and "Life at the Top" (1965). Addinsell was born in London and studied at the Royal Academy of Music. He acquired film scoring technique while working at RKO studios in Hollywood from 1932 to 1935. Outside of the cinema he was noted as the accompanist of stage comedienne Joyce Grenfell, and wrote many songs for her. (bio by: Robert Edwards)

Related information:
Debussy completed the Suite bergamasque for solo piano in Paris in 1888. From the suite, Claire de leune has proven to be one of Debussy's most popular compositions, and with good reason. Its simplicity of texture and subtle turns of color provide monumental challenges for the performer. As with most Debussy works, the impression of a landscape is paramount to earthly romance. The scenery is portrayed in light and shade, accomplished by subtle twists of harmony and rhythm. Debussy's love of nature's beauty is here humble, nearly religious in quality. Remarkably, the notes speak for themselves in creating the luminous texture, asking the performer to not pierce it or spill excess coloration on it. Delicate strands of silver reflections await the performers touch, to the listener's delight.

Orchestral Music
The most influential piece of orchestral music by Debussy is the Prlude l'aprs-midi d'un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun), based on a poem by Mallarm. This was later used for a ballet, with choreography by Nijinsky, who created a considerable scandal at the first performance. The music evokes a pagan world, as the faun of the title takes his ease in the afternoon shade on a summer day. The three symphonic sketches that constitute La mer (The Sea), published with a famous woodcut known as The Wave, from the Japanese artist Hokusai's views of Mount Fuji, an indication of oriental influence on Debussy, offer evocations of the sea from dawn to midday, of the waves and of the dialogue of wind and sea. Other orchestral works by Debussy include the three movements of Nocturnes for orchestra - 'Nuages' (Clouds), 'Ftes' (Festivals) and 'Sirnes'. Images, a work in three movements completed in 1912, includes 'Gigues', 'Ibria' and 'Ronde de printemps', the last a celebration of spring. His Le martyre de Saint Sbastien, finally scored by Andr Caplet, was in origin a theatrical and choreographic collaboration with the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio. Debussy sketched out orchestration for his Rapsodie arabe for saxophone and piano, completed after his death by Roger-Ducasse, an interesting addition to the repertoire of an instrument more often neglected by classical composers.

IDOMENEO
Fuor del mar ho un mare in seno,
Che dei primo è più funesto,
E Nettuno ancora in questo
Mai non cessa minacciar.
Fiero Nume! dimmi almeno:
Se al naufragio è sì vicino
Il mio cor, qual rio destino
Or gli vieta il naufragar?
IDOMENEO
Saved from the sea, I have a raging sea
more fearsome than before within my bosom,
and Neptune does not cease
his threats even in this.
Stern god! Tell me at least,
if my body was so close to shipwreck,
for what cruel purpose
was that wreck withheld?
