ALBERT WILLIAM KETTLEBEY: IN THE PERSIAN MARKET

Albert William Kettlebey



In a Persian Market was composed by an English composer, Albert William Kettlebey who was born in 1880 and studied music at Trinity College of Music in London.
His imagination on the oriental atmospheric scene was clearly described in this master piece.
This piece begins with a theme, very soft and gradually getting louder, describes about a market place in Persia, in which people and camel caravan are entering, including those beggars lamenting. Another sweet theme signifies the scene of a princess amid her servants passing through the market, while jugglers are playing tricks and a snake charmer blowing his pipe in accompanying the dancing snake. The sweet theme is heard again as the princess and the caravan are leaving the place. The music is gradually fading away and finally the noisy market scene becomes the empty and isolated place.
