The Rio Grande (Lambert) : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Rio Grande (Lambert)
''The Rio Grande'' is a work by Constant Lambert, for alto, choir, piano, brass, strings and a percussion section of 15 instruments, needing five players.〔 It was written in 1927, and achieved instant and long-lasting popularity on its appearance on the concert stage in 1929.〔(Oxford University Press )〕〔(Bach Cantatas )〕 It is an example of symphonic jazz, not unlike the style of George Gershwin's ''Rhapsody in Blue'', although it is very much Lambert's individual conception.〔 ''The Rio Grande'' is set to the poem of the same name by Sacheverell Sitwell, and takes about 15 minutes to perform. ==Style== ''The Rio Grande'' combines jazzy syncopations, ragtime and Brazilian influences, harmonies and rhythms inspired by Duke Ellington,〔(Answers.com )〕 with a traditional English choral sound. The outer sections are brisk, surrounding a central nocturne. The piano part often plays triplets against duplets, redolent of a rumba.〔 The coda is based on material from the central section.〔(Music Web International )〕 The poem refers to a river in Brazil, although there is no Brazilian river called Rio Grande.〔(Villa-Lobos Website )〕
