</b> El presente artículo es una somera introducción de la compositora galesa Grace Mary Williams (1906-1977), así como de su trabajo <i>Carillons </i>for Oboe and Orchestra (1965 /1973) (*1). La primera edición de <i>Carillons </i>fue publicada por la editorial <i>Curiad </i>en 2022<i> </i>y tuve la oportunidad de interpretar dicha edición durante la Conferencia Internacional de la <i>Double Reed Society</i> celebrada en el verano del mismo año en la Universidad de Boulder, Colorado, Estados Unidos. (*2). A pesar del poco tiempo disponible para ensayar con la orquesta, pudimos ofrecer una interesante y emocionante interpretación de la obra. Los comentarios que recibí de las personas que la escucharon fueron tremendamente positivas, y estoy convencida que dicha obra merece ser interpretada con más asiduidad.</span></p>

A raíz de ello contacté con la editorial <i>Curiad</i> para poder adquirir las partituras. Curiosamente, una nueva edición de la obra estaba en proceso de elaboración y, desde este momento, empecé a colaborar con Ruth Myfanwy y Mary S. Jones en la nueva edición de la parte de oboe para dicha editorial. Así mismo, la partitura de la reducción de la obra para oboe y piano, basada en una versión manuscrita realizada por la compositora y recientemente descubierta, está disponible desde finales de 2022 a través de la editorial <i>Curiad </i>(<a href="https://curiad.co.uk/en/"><span>https://curiad.co.uk/en/</span></a>).</span></p>

<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Nacida en Barry, localidad cercana a Cardiff, fue una pianista y violinista de enorme talento. Estudió música en la Universidad de Cardiff (1923-1926) y posteriormente composición con Ralph Vaughan Williams en el <i>Royal College of Music</i> de Londres (1926-1930), donde coincidió con otras jóvenes talentos de la composición como Dorothy Gow, Imogen Holst, Elisabeth Lutyens y Elizabeth Maconchy (*5). Posteriormente se trasladó a Viena (1930–31) para estudiar composición con Egon Wellesz.</span></p>

Gracias a los numerosos encargos, pudo permanecer en su ciudad natal y concentrarse a tiempo completo en la composición.</span></p>

También es autora de un maravilloso Sexteto para oboe, trompeta, violín, viola, violonchelo y piano (1931) (*7), así como autora de una extensa cantidad de música vocal y coral.</span></p>

En una nota escrita en el manuscrito de su Sonata para violín y piano escribió; “el segundo movimiento merece ser interpretado, el primero y tercero no son suficientemente buenos” (*8). En 1967 declinó el honor de recibir la Orden del Imperio Británico (OBE) concedido por su majestad la Reina, por su contribución a la música. Murió en 1977, a la edad de 70 años.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1744" data-original-width="1152" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizh56v2ukp9IGWXCFEdwOkHLM9-EDIAwWhtm5ffWiOPfUY-Jitz9movNqjdTkuuOTsLaVgFdHUxKQRjgHMdz12wNBGk8NSvRmu2jEltVm47JfphXAu4BP14DMUCcxD4RKT3VCb1uMYcqmxkQRUGXvq5mtUEs_FX5bBvsR8m9Ro2k5m118Lc5CrH_c/s320/GW_004.jpg" width="211" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span>Grace Williams (c1976)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span><i style="text-align: left;">Picture@Grace Williams Estate</i><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></span></div><div><span><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div></span></div>

El uso de instrumentos de percusión de alta frecuencia, como el triángulo, la lira o la celesta, junto con las campanas crea una atmósfera sonora que inspira el sobrenombre de la composición. A consecuencia de excluir a los instrumentos de viento madera en el acompañamiento, la voz del oboe se puede escuchar perfectamente, lo que ofrece una agradable sensación al oyente y permite al solista poder tocar libremente. <i>Carillons </i>fue originalmente concebida como una obra con tres movimientos, pero posteriormente la autora añadió uno más, proporcionando un puente rapsódico a modo de cadencia entre el segundo y el cuarto movimiento. La tonalidad de <i>Carillons </i>está basada alrededor de las notas <i>si b</i> y <i>mi</i>, las cuales pueden ser oídas en la introducción de la obra, así como a lo largo de la estructura general del primer movimiento.</span></p>

Strauss escrito en 1945, subrayando que es posible que Williams estuviera influenciada por dicho concierto y comenta que la obra <i>Carillons </i>“…ocupa un lugar único en el conjunto de composiciones de Grace Williams. Su atractivo es directo y sencillo, pero proviene del uso de un lenguaje de una gran sutileza y refinamiento”.<span> </span>(*9)</span></p>

Williams compuso <i>Carillons</i> en 1965, siendo estrenada en Llandaff, Gales, el 1 de marzo de 1967 por la BBC Welsh Orchestra (BBCWO) y Philip Jones, Oboe Solista de dicha orquesta, dirigidos por Rae Jenkins.</span></p>

Era un excelente instrumentista, y su estilo habría sido idóneo para <i>Carillons</i>”. En 1968 David Theodore era aun estudiante en Londres y grabó dicha obra con la <i>BBCWO</i>, de nuevo dirigida por Rae Jenkins. David me comentó que “Grace Williams estuvo presente durante la grabación; era una mujer austera y muy específica acerca de los detalles más nimios”. David Theodore llegó a ser Oboe Solista de la <i>BBCWO </i>en 1969, y recuerda haber interpretado <i>Carillons</i> con su orquesta de nuevo algunos años más tarde.</span></p>

Una crítica de dicha grabación, escrita por A. J. Heward Rees en 1975, elogia tanto a la obra como al apoyo financiero ejercido por la <i>Welsh Arts Council</i>: “…resulta grato comprobar como la <i>Welsh Arts Council</i>, a pesar de la difícil situación económica predominante, continua de forma lenta pero constante, realizando las aportaciones prometidas a la bien elaborada lista de música galesa… El presente disco merece ser un éxito… <i>Carillons</i> es, de hecho, un concertino en cuatro movimientos para oboe y orquesta, y es una obra encantadora y bastante sensible… Recomiendo de todo corazón este nuevo disco. (*11)</span></p>

Pero en 1977 interpretó con la Orquesta de la BBCWO, bajo la dirección de Vernon Handley, la versión revisada de cuatro movimientos de la obra. Todos los conciertos realizados por dicha orquesta fueron retrasmitidos por la radio y la obra original manuscrita por la compositora fue la que se utilizó en dicho concierto. </span></p>

Es un concierto ideal para ser programado tanto en un concierto sinfónico, en una competición de oboe o bien añadirla al repertorio de obras de estudio en el conservatorio.</span></p>

(*2). Despite the very short preparation time given with the orchestra, we offered a convincing and exciting performance. The feedback I received from those who heard the piece was very positive and I am even more certain now that this work deserves to be performed more often. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I first heard the only existing commercial recording of <i>Carillons, </i>performed by oboist Anthony Camden, dated 1974 (*3), by chance, at the end of 2021. I subsequently contacted the publishers, <i>Curiad, </i>in order to find the score. Strangely enough, a new printed edition of the work was being prepared at that moment and I began to work with Ruth Myfanwy and Mary S. Jones at <i>Curiad </i>on the oboe part. The score for oboe and orchestra as well as a newly edited oboe and piano reduction, based on the recently discovered version (handwritten by the composer herself) is now available at <i>Curiad </i>(https://curiad.co.uk/en/).</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Grace Williams and her music </span></b></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Grace Williams was one of the most prominent composers to have emerged from Wales during the twentieth century and was the first British woman to score a feature film (for <i>Blue Scar</i>, 1948) (*4). Born in Barry, near Cardiff, she was a talented violinist and pianist. She studied music at Cardiff University (1923–26), later studying composition at the Royal College of Music (1926–30) with Ralph Vaughan Williams. At the RCM she joined other gifted young women composers including Dorothy Gow, Imogen Holst, Elisabeth Lutyens and Elizabeth Maconchy, (*5). She later studied composition in Vienna (1930–31) with Egon Wellesz. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Grace subsequently worked as a successful composer and music teacher in London, but returned to live and work in Barry in 1947 due to ill-health, where she was soon hired to write scripts and to arrange folk songs for BBC children<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">’</span>s broadcasts as well as to compose film music. She remained in her hometown where she was finally able to concentrate on composing full time, thanks to many commissions. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">In a recording, published in the <i>Welsh Music Journal </i>and also during an interview, published on the <i>Tŷ Cerdd </i>website (*6 ), Grace Williams explained how she loved the trumpet (she wrote a concerto for trumpet and orchestra in 1963) but also describes the oboe as her "favourite woodwind instrument” and that she had a "soft spot<i>" </i>for <i>Carillons. </i>Williams has written many orchestral works where you will hear beautiful oboe solos, for example <i>Fantasia on Welsh Nursery Tunes </i>(1940), <i>Penillion, symphonic poem in four movements </i>(1955) and <i>Ballads </i>(1968) for orchestra. She also wrote a fantastic <i>Sextet</i> for oboe, trumpet, violin, viola, cello and piano (1931) (*7). Williams also wrote many vocal and choral music pieces. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Her compositions are influenced by Welsh folk music and poetry, Welsh landscapes, coastlines, and the sea. She was very critical of her own work. In a note on a handwritten manuscript for her<i> Sonata</i> for violin and piano, she wrote <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">“</span>second movement worth performing, first and third not good enough” (*8). In the 1967 New Year<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">’</span>s Honours List, she turned down an offer of the OBE for her services to music. She died in 1977 at the age of 70. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Carillons for Oboe and Orchestra </span></b></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">This charming work<i> </i>is scored for solo oboe, 2 french horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, percussion, harp, and strings, lasting about 10 minutes. The use of high-pitched percussion (triangle, glockenspiel, celesta) and tubular bells creates the bell-like sounds which inspired the title of the work. As a result of excluding woodwind instruments in the accompaniment, the oboe voice is heard distinctly which is pleasing for the ear and a joy for the soloist. <i>Carillons </i>was originally perceived as a three movement work, but Williams later added an extra movement, providing a rhapsodic and cadenza-like bridge between the second and fourth movements. The tonality of <i>Carillons</i> is based around B flat and E; this can be heard in the opening bars and especially throughout the general structure of the first movement.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The writer Malcolm Boyd compares the added <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">“</span>accompanied cadenza” to that of the <i>Oboe Concerto</i> by Strauss, written in 1945 - it is possible that she may have been influenced by this concerto - and mentions that <i>Carillons </i><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">“</span>...occupies a unique place among Grace Williams<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">’ </span>compositions. Its appeal is direct and uncomplicated, but it results from the utmost subtlety and refinement.” (*9) </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Carillons </i>was commissioned by the Welsh Home Service of the BBC for its programme <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">‘</span>Auditorium<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">’ </span>requesting<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> “</span>something light-weight and entertaining”. She wrote <i>Carillons </i>in 1965 and it was premiered in Llandaff, Wales on 1st March 1967 by the BBC Welsh Orchestra and Philip Jones, its Principal oboe, conducted by Rae Jenkins. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">A few months ago, I contacted David Theodore and he explained to me that Philip Jones preceded him as Principal Oboe in the BBC Welsh Orchestra: <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">“</span>He came from Aberdare and studied at the Paris Conservatoire so his playing had a strong French influence. He was a fine player, and his style would have suited <i>Carillons</i>”. In 1968 David Theodore was still a student in London and recorded <i>Carillons </i>for the radio with the BBC WO, again conducted by Rae Jenkins. He mentioned to me that <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">“</span>Grace Williams was present at the recording; she was rather an austere woman and very particular about the finer details”. David became Principal Oboe of the BBC WO in 1969 and he remembers performing <i>Carillons </i>with his orchestra again a few years later. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">In 1973 Williams revised the work and the new extended version was recorded in 1974 by oboist Anthony Camden and the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Charles Groves (*10). A review of the 1974 CD recording, written by A. J. Heward Rees in 1975, praises both the piece and the financial support provided by the Welsh Arts Council: <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">“</span>...It is gratifying to note that the Welsh Arts Council, in spite of the difficult economic circumstances that prevail, continues to issue in slow but steady succession the promised items on their well - prepared list of Welsh music...This particular disc deserves to be a winner...<i>Carillons </i>is in effect a charming and rather delicate four-movement concertino for oboe and orchestra...I whole-heartedly recommend this new disc.” (*11). </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Gordon Hunt recently explained to me that he succeeded David as principal oboe of the BBC Welsh in 1971. In 1975 he left Wales to play in the Philharmonia in London but in 1977 performed the revised four movement version of the work with the BBC Welsh Orchestra, conducted by Vernon Handley. All of the BBC WO performances would have been broadcast on the radio and the composer's original handwritten scores would have been used. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I encourage everyone to investigate and discover more about Grace Williams and this fantastic piece. <i>Carillons </i>is both fun to play and to listen to and very much deserves a place in the standard oboe repertoire. It is a perfect concerto to program in an orchestral concert or to include on an oboe competition or the repertoire list for students at conservatoire level. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Many thanks to: </b>Ruth and Mary at <i>Curiad, </i>Ethan John Davies at <i>Tŷ Cerdd, </i>Graeme Cotterill (*12) and the following colleagues for their help during my research on this work: John Anderson, Michael Britton, George Caird, David Cowley, Sarah Francis, Gordon Hunt, Celia Nicklin and David Theodore. </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;">Pictures @Grace Williams Estate </span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;">Endnotes: </span></b></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;">1.

Durante el periodo de confinamiento y forzada reducción de proyectos debido a la pandemia, el dúo ha realizado grabaciones de obras de Thea Musgrave y Alyssa Morris, así como está explorando diversas composiciones, tanto de nueva creación como del pasado, de compositores que no han recibido una atención adecuada a la calidad de sus obras.<br />Con dicha idea se presenta el dúo de oboe y piano, Sarah Roper & Ignacio Torner, para dar a conocer un repertorio de obras de gran interés realizado por los grandes compositores y, en especial, por otros y otras compositoras que han permanecido en un segundo plano en detrimento de una música que, de ninguna manera, puede considerarse menor.</p></div><div class="tab 3" style="margin-bottom: 28px;"><h2 id="title3" style="color: var(--main-over-white-color); font-family: ColaborateLightRegular, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 18px 0px 6px; text-shadow: rgba(120, 120, 120, 0.2) 1px 0px 0px;">Programa</h2><p style="color: #414243; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Otra mirada (Compositoras del siglo XIX al XXI)<br /></strong>/ Nombres de Mujer<br /><br /></p><p style="color: #414243; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;">CLARA SCHUMANN (1819-1896), Drei Romanzen, op.22 para oboe y piano (1853)<br />Andante molto<br />Allegretto.

En el presente programa ofrecemos otra mirada a dicha contribución, una visión desde la perspectiva de la creación artística de las mujeres. Unas veces han sido reconocidas y admiradas, y otras, relegadas a un inmerecido segundo plano.<br />Fanny Mendelssohn, hermana mayor del conocido compositor Félix Mendelssohn, compuso más de 450 obras, la mayoría de ellas limitadas a obras para piano y lieders (canciones). Muchas de sus obras nunca fueron publicadas en vida, o bien fueron publicadas bajo el nombre de su hermano Félix. El convencionalismo y la limitación social hacia el sexo femenino de la época, y en especial de su propia familia, impidieron que pudiera dedicarse profesionalmente a la música.<br />Una generación más tarde el ejemplo de Clara Schumann no podría ser más opuesto como intérprete, aunque no como compositora. Considerada como una de las más distinguidas pianistas de su época, disfrutó de una larga carrera internacional de más de 60 años como concertista de piano. A pesar de la prematura muerte de su marido Robert Schumann, y de estar al cargo de los ocho hijos de la pareja, Clara fue el pilar central de su familia y la encargada del sustento económico de la misma aún antes del fallecimiento de su esposo. Aunque no tuvo un gran reconocimiento en vida como compositora esta faceta ha sido puesta en valor a lo largo del tiempo.<br />Lili Boulanger fue una niña prodigio y compositora francesa, quien además de composición estudió canto, piano, violín, violonchelo y arpa. Lili fue la primera compositora en ganar el importante “Prix de Rome” a los 19 años y cuya carrera quedó truncada al fallecer prematuramente a los 24 años.<br />La compositora Althea Talbot-Howard, ganadora de numerosos premios internacionales, comenzó su carrera profesional como oboísta. De ascendencia afro-británica y afincada en Londres, el uso de temáticas cristianas y un profundo sentimiento anti-esclavitud impregnan la música de sus composiciones.<br />Las dos últimas compositoras Thea Musgrave y Alyssa Morris, también oboísta, representan dos ejemplos de autoras de gran reconocimiento internacional. La escocesa Musgrave como exponente de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y la norteamericana Morris como figura emergente del siglo XXI.</p></div><div class="tab 5" style="margin-bottom: 28px;"><h2 id="title5" style="color: var(--main-over-white-color); font-family: ColaborateLightRegular, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 18px 0px 6px; text-shadow: rgba(120, 120, 120, 0.2) 1px 0px 0px;">Músicos</h2><p style="color: #414243; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Sarah Roper</strong> / Nace en Nueva Zelanda y de nacionalidad británica.
