6. ZANZIBAR BOAT-SONG [¥45%,
for 6 hands at 4 piano
Well fitted to be played by a teacher and two pupils; the teacher taking the 2nd pianists part.
PROGRAM-NOTE.
“Zanzibar Boat-Song” was inspired by the following poem from Rudyard
Kipling’s “PLamN TALES FROM THE HILLs” :
‘They burnt a corpse upon the sand-
The light shone out afar;
It guided home the plunging boats
hat beat from Zanzibar.
Spirit of Fire, where’er Thy altars rise,
‘Thou art the Light of Guidance to our eyes!
Salsette Boat-Song
(dy hind permission of MT Rudyard Kipling.)
‘The reading of these verses induced a musical mood (in which the wistful thane
of the poem and the rhythmic suggestion of “the plunging boats” played their
part) out of which the composition emerged. But in no sense is it
“program music”; in no sense does the music aim at portraying the events
and thoughts set forth in the poem nothing beyond the voicing of a musical
mood evoked by the poem. PERCY ALDRIDGE GRAINGER.
