Let me mention that in this production there were two acts instead of Shakespeare’s five, and thus my entr’acte (based on Bottom’s Wooselcock Song) occurs between Scenes 1 and 2 of the original third act. Before intermission I had already used the Wooselcock melody to underscore the scene where Bottom is carried away by Titania’s fairies to her secret bower.

It was on very short notice that I composed these numbers for use in a repertorycompany’s production here in Manhattan (another composer having justdropped out of the fray), in the spring of this year. The stage was small, so therewas no possibility for live music. The time was short, so I quickly decided to writeall the solos and vocal accompaniments required by the director’s script formyself to record, the only exception being a horn alarum which Shakespeare asksfor specifically.

To afford variety, I chose to represent the three levels of activity on stage withthree different keyboards: music for the Athenian nobility uses the aristocraticharpsichord; the world of the fairies and sprites was conjured using differentstops on the organ; and the tradesmen Shakespeare called Mechanicals do theirwork to four-hands accompaniment which a friend helped me to record. Let memention that in this production there were two acts instead of Shakespeare’s five,and thus my entr’acte (based on Bottom’s Wooselcock Song) occurs betweenScenes 1 and 2 of the original third act. Before intermission I had already used theWooselcock melody to underscore the scene where Bottom is carried away byTitania’s fairies to her secret bower. But during intermission (which is to say,overnight) the mode of the melody has changed from minor to major! Theentr’acte à la Weber could thus be characterized as happy morning after music,Bottom’s initial fear now transmuted into a robust joie de vivre.

At one point in the fourth act, Shakespeare asks for a dance. I happened tocompose a minuet.

playing through the variegated organ material in dramatic order is the mostsatisfying experience for me, paralleling as it does the unfolding of Shakespeare’sbittersweet comedy.

I dedicate all the incidental music I wrote with gratitude to my sister Veer, whoinfluenced the eyes of her younger brother at an early age to “veer” towards theAvon.

PERFORMANCE NOTES

The reader is in a position to see the retrograde of the Magic FlowerMusic being used to portray its antidote later in the score. Similarly, the variantof the Pastorale which closes this set can be checked against the number ofthe same name with which the use of the organ commenced in my incidentalmusic. The first eight mm. of Music N are identical to the music Titania and hertrain enter to earlier in the play at Music E. (The latter evolves into a vocalnumber, which is why it is not included here.) Music J is Bottom’s WooselcockSong. I take the dashes in both verses of Shakespeare’s text as indicatinginterruptions, implying that there would be more text if not for Bottom’s easydistractibility. The r.h. melody in the present Music K is identical to the onesung in Wooselcock up until the half cadence in m.8, on the note B. The song,however, never moves beyond this point, in accordance with those dashes.(The Larghetto section with which Music K closes better recalls the tempo,mood, and characteristic harmony of Bottom’s interrupted song, incidentally.)When I made the initial recording, I was aware of how fulfilling it would be forthe listener to move on to Music K’s m.9. Alas! that impact is needs mitigatedif the number is heard outside the dramatic theater.

I include an adaptation of the non-organ components of Music Q in caseanyone wants to perform this number entire. It can be left out of the presentsuite, the rest of whose numbers are bona fide organ solos, but then so couldany other number included in the set. If you do play it on the organ, in anycontext, the jazzy variant in smaller notes (intended for harpsichord) shouldrepresent as great a contrast as you can manage. (This effect is supported bythe change of manuals stipulated in the adapted score at this point.)

If you are recording the numbers for use in the theater, of course onlythe full-sized notes of Music Q should be put on tape. You might be asked, as Iwas, to record the horn solo at the end of Q (the last six mm.) on the organ.Now, I have adapted it here as a pedal solo, but that was presupposing theexecution of the full number on the king of instruments. In terms of therequested recording: I used fanfare-like 8’ and 4’ reeds with a Tierce, playingthe six mm. on a manual. I omitted of course the perfunctory lower voice I had

given to the left foot, subsisting as it does solely within the arrangement of thecomplete number for organ. (I made the alarum part of the Music Q cue,incidentally, because dramatically it follows hard upon the keyboardscomponents.) You would also be responsible for recording theaccompaniments to the big vocal numbers: Music E, and Music U, with whichthe incidental music concludes.

It is unlikely that many of you with church jobs are attached todenominations that invoke pagan deities. If you play anything here in a houseof worship, the titles I include can give way to just the tempo markings (but Ieven had to suppress one of those once: Presto baccanale!). Feel free to makeup any title you like. (Jehoshaphat’s Evening Prayer, Abednego’s MorningMeditation....)

As to registration, the norm is to play on a single manual, with coupledpedal. Exceptions to that are noted in the score. I sometimes play the twoPastorales on two manuals as well. This is also the only piece in my œuvre inwhich I have ever used the tremulant. In writing for pedal I always assumedthere would be a 16’ foundation, even when double pedal is being employed.
