Britten was a British eminent pianist, conductor and composer of the 20th century. His compositions include almost all genres, both instrumental and vocal, large and small scale chamber works, stage works as well as music for films and documentaries.
He wrote ‘The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, Op 34, subtitled ‘Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Henry Purcell (Another leading British composer from the Baroque era) in 1945 for the documentary film ‘Instruments of the Orchestra’ with aims to educate young people and general listeners to get acquainted with the sounds of each instrument of the symphony orchestra.
The work had its stage premiere in 1946 by the Liverpool Philharmonic conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent. The Documentary, directed by Muir Mathieson, presented by the London Symphony Orchestra also with Sir Malcolm Sargent later in the same year. Since its premiere the piece has been one of Britten’s most popular works.
The work is in the Theme and Variations form plus a fugue ending. The main theme is borrowed from the Rondeau, the second piece from Purcell’s Abdelazer Suite. The straightforward yet attractive masculine theme presented from the start by the whole orchestra with each section of the instruments taking turn presenting the theme.
After the Theme is fully presented and recognized, the piece is then followed by 13 Variations with each variation played by instruments from each section of the orchestra, in the following order; the woodwinds, bowed strings plus a harp, brasses and percussions.
The piece ends with a fugue, an intricate polyphonic section based on the same theme, before ending in a grand style.

Prokofiev was a Russian composer and a leading figure in the European artistic scene in the 20th century. He was also a piano virtuoso as well as a conductor. He composed in almost all musical genres popular at the time; Opera, Music to the Ballets, Concertos, symphonies, piano pieces as well as chamber works.
He wrote ‘Peter & the Wolf’ which he also added a subtitle ‘A Symphonic Tales’ in 1936 from a commission by Natalya Sats (1903-1993, the then director of the Children’s Theatre in Moscow. The work is one of the most successful educational pieces for children to enjoy as well as to help them learn and recognize the sounds and characters of various instruments of the orchestra.
After an ineffective attempt by another author, Prokofiev decided to write the tale himself about a brave young lad named ‘Peter’, together with his animal friends as well as their heroic act. Peter himself lives in a little house by the pond with his grumpy old grandpa in the woods.
The story begins one fresh morning when Peter takes a walk into the woods nearby, leaving the house gate open which makes his grandpa furious. Peter then meets his friends; a chirping little bird, a grumbling duck, a sly cat as well as a ferocious wolf and finally a team of hunters hunting for the wolf.
Each character is represented by a ‘leitmotif’ (a musical theme associated with a person, a character, certain situations or atmosphere.) played by appropriate musical instruments; for example Peter is represented by a cheerful theme played by the string section. The chirping bird played by the flute, the duck by the oboe, grandpa by the bassoon, the cat by a clarinet, the wolf by a group of 3 horns and finally the hunter with his gunshots by the drums.
The story is narrated and accompanied or interspersed with music from the orchestra. At the end, Peter and his birdy friend finally caught the wolf and the whole team including the hunters, walking proudly in procession to hand over the ferocious animal to the zoo.
For tonight’s concert, the story is narrated with the Thai translation by Thepthana Palkavong na Ayudhaya
