KURT WEILL /BERTOLT BRECHT

DIE DREIGROSCHENOPEREin Stück mit Musik

in einem Vorspiel und acht Bildern

UE 31544

Klavierauszug

wDie Dreigroschenoper / The Threepenny Opera X))Kurt Weill (music)Bertolt Brecht (German adaptation)Based on Elisabeth Hauptmann’s translation of “The Beggar’s Opera” by John GayEnglish lyrics by Michael FeingoldFirst performed in 1928, The Threepenny Opera is one of the first collaborations between Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. With the combination of Weill’s musical style and Brecht’s political comment, it has become a classic of modern musical theatre. This new edition, prepared by Edward Harsh, is based on the critical edition of the work and is edited by Stephen Hinton and Edward Harsh. It was published in 2000 and can be used with the 1928 libretto and critical edition of the full score.

The show opens with one of the most well-known songs of the 20th century: Mack the Knife. The song tells of his infamous deeds and sets the tone of the story that follows. The scene is London Soho’s underworld before the coronation of Queen Victoria.

To summarise – Jonathan Peachum, all-powerful controller of the local beggars, is out to get the notorious Macheath (Mack the Knife) for his involvement with his daughter, Polly. In a confrontation with her parents, Polly lets slip that Macheath is an old friend of the Chief of Police who has saved him from arrest, many times. The Peachums use this knowlege to their own advantage by bribing Mac’s former girl-friend to betray him to the police. The plot becomes, in fact, much more convoluted but Mac is imprisoned, twice – and the second time is facing execution when a messenger appears with a reprieve from the queen who has granted him a castle, title and a pension. The cast sing the finale requesting that wrongdoers should not be punished too severely.

Der Jasager / He Who Says Yes X))School Opera in 2 ActsKurt Weill (music)Bertolt Brecht (libretto)English translation: J. M. PottsAlthough taken from the Japanese Noh play “Taniko”, the music for this school opera in 2 acts is entirely western in origin. Bertholt Brecht’s play is one of his “Lehrstücke” (teaching plays), written to instruct the young. A boy is part of a small party journeying high into the mountains, his mission is to bring back medicine for his ailing mother. The journey is too much for him, he falls ill and agrees to have himself hurled down the precipice so the expedition can proceed – a self-sacrificing act for the greater “collective” good. Scored for a small number of soloists and chorus, this opera is best staged simply.

All the King’s MenRichard Rodney Bennett (music)Beverley Cross (libretto)Bennett’s moving opera for young people is a classic in its genre and continues to achieve success in many parts of the world. The story is set in the time of the English Civil War at the siege of Gloucester in 1643. A certain Dr Chillingworth has been enrolled by the King’s Council of War. His suggested way of taking the town is to construct a Roman style “tortoise” to bridge the river Severn and form a covered way over the city walls. It is renamed “Humpty-Dumpty”. Their plan is foiled by the roundheads and it collapses into the river where “all the King’s horses and all the King’s men” were unable to rescue it. The opera ends poignantly with the appearance of the little drummer boy who, after the horrors of battle, reflects on the senselessness of war. “You can’t dig fields with drumsticks, you can’t plough with a gun”. He was not even sure who had won or who had lost.

Scored for solo singers, speaking parts, choruses and school orchestra 2.1.2.1-2.2.1.0 – glock, xyl, chime bars, perc, pno (4 hands), guitar – strings. The pieces may be performed with piano reduction and added percussion.

Cinderella JonesJames Rae and Mike CornickAimed at the lower secondary age group and above, this hilariously funny version of Cinderella takes some unexpected twists and turns and ends quite differently from the usual story. The quiet and studious Sally (Cinderella) Jones is lamenting the fact that she, unlike her sisters, has not been invited to the disco dance at Decibelles. Her sisters are excited about meeting the DJ and local heart-throb – Matt Vinyl. Aided by the appearance of the Fairy Godmother and part-time double-glazing saleswoman, Patti O’Dawes and other unlikely characters, Sally eventually makes it to the disco and even wins the dancing competition. Matt, not a person of great modesty, announces the prize – a date with, none other than – himself. But Sally has to leave of course and naturally without her shoes. The story ends happily and in an unexpected way as it has been pointed out to Sally that there are many more worthwhile goals for her to aspire to than winning a date with Matt Vinyl! The show ends on an optimistic and positive note with the entire cast singing the final number Aim High!

Cinderella Jones includes a CD with backing tracks, lots of amusing sound effects and, for making learning easier, recordings of the songs by professional vocalists. Teachers have the option of staging the show using the CD throughout or providing live accompaniments, or to use a combination of both. This musical is a flexible “production package” and is easily adapted to suit resources.

Solo Tango Solo PianoGustavo Beytelmann

Gustavo Beytelmann has taken some of the most beautiful tango music ever written and created his own

arrangements for solo piano. This collection of ten pieces shows how varied the genre is, from the ragtime-like lilt

of El esquinazo to the romantic waltz La loca de amor by Pablo José Vázquez and the energetic El entrettiano

by Rosendo Menizabal, as well as a new arrangement of Carlos Gardel‘s immortal El dia que me quieres.

Any of these immensely rewarding pieces would make an excellent choice for the concert stage.
