Composed 2010, revised 2014. One of a series of fourteen accompaniments to texts published between 1886-1899.
Text: ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’, Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
For narrator (amplified if necessary), flutes (and/or tenor/bass recorders), clarinets, muted strings, percussion. The narrator reads normally and is always to be heard above the instruments. Alternatively, the narrator is pre-recorded and is audible to the players but not the audience.
Notation:
Symbols are aligned above the text and sounds are produced in synchronisation with the narrator. Flutes and clarinets take generous breaths within air sounds / long notes. All percussion sounds are single strikes and can be made by more than one player. If all percussion is available instrument combinations may be chosen in sympathy with the text.
Programme note:
‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’ was written by Oscar Wilde in France on release from Reading Gaol in 1897 after being sentenced to two years hard labour. During his imprisonment Charles Thomas Wooldridge, who had been convicted of murdering his wife, was hanged. The poem was published in 1898 under the name C.3.3., which stood for cell block C, landing 3, cell 3. The text is a mixture of the first and second versions of Wilde’s poem.
