The Rio Grande is a secular cantata by English composer Constant Lambert. Written in 1927, it achieved instant and long-lasting popularity on its appearance on the concert stage in 1929. 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. It combines jazzy syncopation with lithe Latin American dance rhythms that create an air of haunting nostalgia. The Rio Grande takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes to perform. It was dedicated to Angus Morrison, who played at its first (broadcast) performance.

dbo:abstract
  • Rio Grande je kantáta anglického skladatele z roku 1927. Dílo dosáhlo okamžité a dlouhodobé popularity už při uvedení v roce 1929. Skladba je příkladem symfonického jazzu, ne nepodobná stylu Rhapsody in Blue od George Gershwina, i když je to do značné míry Lambertovo individuální pojetí. Kombinuje jazzovou synkopii s pružnými latinskoamerickými tanečními rytmy, které vytvářejí atmosféru strašidelné nostalgie. Rio Grande bylo komponováno na stejnojmennou impresionistickou báseň od a trvá zhruba 15 až 20 minut. Toto dílo bylo věnováno klavírnímu virtuosovi Angusovi Morrisonovi, který hrál sólový klavírní part při prvním uvedení. Sacheverell Sitwell v roce 1927, foto (cs)

It was dedicated to Angus Morrison, who played at its first (broadcast) performance. The text is a poem by Sacheverell Sitwell, first published in his collection The Thirteenth Caesar, and other Poems (1924). The poem refers to a river in Brazil, although there is no Brazilian river called Rio Grande. No other work of Lambert's achieved the level of popularity achieved by The Rio Grande. It is still performed regularly today, at the BBC Proms (including the Last Night) and by choral societies in the UK and abroad. (en)
