Description
The 20 bands at the Royal Albert Hall will perform Simon Dobsons evocative portrait of Hungarian composer Bela Bartok – whose own journey in life was marked by a sense of isolation and singularity.
Journey of the Lone Wolf was commissioned by Prof Nicholas Childs in 2013 for the Black Dyke Band,and received its UK premiere at the 2014 Festival of Brass. It has subsequently been used as a set-work as well as own-choice selection throughoutthe banding world.
The composition explores the complexities of a troubled soul; from Bartoks work in recording the disappearing folk songs and musical culture of the Balkans, to his loveless isolation in America and rather cold fascination with jazz.
He was repulsed by the evils of fascism, yet was unable to develop or maintain relationships even with those who shared his political and cultural outlook. He died a lonely man, isolated and almost forgotten – his funeral attended by a handful ofpeople.
