## Summary

The Gilded Theatre wind band score by Kenneth Hesketh, published by Faber Music.

## Description

The Gilded Theatre was commissioned by the National Youth Wind Orchestra of Great Britain on the occasion of its fortieth anniversary. They gave the first performance on 10th August 2008, at St. John's Smith Square, London conducted by James Gourlay. The Gilded Theatre can, in some ways, be seen as a continuation of dramatic forms as presented in a previous piece by Hesketh, Diaghilev Dances . Unlike the Dances , however the music in The Gilded Theatre is conceived as one continuous span and stretches of music are also subtitled and refer to stock characters or scenarios redolent of the commedia dell'arte or 17th Century French Theatre. The subtitles are Rideau, Les Idiots Ou Les Amants, Le Combat Commence, Desespoir, L'apparition, Folie, La Mort, Rideau. The moods conjured in the work are by turn dramatic, comedic, romantic and aggressive, all supporting the idea of the abstract play to which the above subtitles refer. Throughout the piece players are challenged both technically and emotionally, and it is they who are in fact the real protagonists in the work.
