From a world of silence, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie brought some of the world’s most beautiful music to the church of St. Paul and St. Peter the Great at Chichester on Monday evening.
This attractive young Scottish lass has proved that what many would consider a debilitating disability was no handicap at all as she hypnotised her audience with a talented performance at this Chichester Festivities concert. She demonstrated her art with pieces on the xylophone, the marimba, the snare drum, and the timpani.
With accompaniment from pianist Robert Howle, this evening with Evelyn Glennie was one of those little gems the festival seems to pull out to surprise and delight us each year. Displaying an easy and relaxed attitude and a keen sense of humour--with many jokes directed against herself (" This is the part I find most difficult," she told us as she tuned the timpani) Evelyn played some haunting works specially written for xylophone, such as her own inspiring "A Little Prayer" and the lilting Scottish tune "Tween Heaven and Sea".
She also "stole" items from the repertoire of other instruments--the exciting "Czarda" more usually heard on violin, "Dreaming" by Schumann, "Maple Leaf Rag" by Joplin, and Chopin’s "Black Key Study", all works written for the piano but given an extra dimension on the xylophone.
The audience was foxed completely as they tried to clap along to snare drum demonstration, a "mummy and daddy open roll", and there was no falling asleep during the dramatic sonata for Timpani by Beck--as Evelyn said herself, "It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it isn’t very often that you see a solo timpanist, and a female one at that!"
Evelyn Glennie may not have been able to hear the applause, but she must surely have seen the warm smiles and happy faces of an audience to which she endeared herself with a charming personality and uncanny instrumental ability. [br] Evelyn was ______ when she performed in the concert.
