Description:
Im dritten der vier Sätze in Robert W. Smiths epischem Werk Don Quixote kommt der Zuhörer in den Genuss des Humors, der die gesamte Literaturvorlage durchzieht. Von Beginn des Satzes und einem Fagottsolo an, das Sancho Pansa auf seinem Esel darstellt, bedient sich der Komponist einzigartiger Perkussionseffekte, um den glücklosen Helden und seinen nie endenden Kampf um den Verbleib auf dem Rücken seines Pferdes Rosinante zu beschreiben. Der Zuhörer kann die rostige Rüstung jedoch geradezu hören, wenn Don Quijote in einem Abenteuer nach dem anderen vom Pferd fällt. Die vielleicht einprägsamste Metaphorik des ganzen literarischen Epos ist Don Quijotes Kampf gegen die Windmühlen. Der Komponist kombiniert harmonische Effekte mit einem einzigartigen Perkussions-Einsatz und erweckt so die Geschichte durch die unscharfen Augen des Ritters zum Leben. Lustig, aber mit einem Hauch von Traurigkeit wird Sancho and the Windmills einer der beliebtesten Momente in der Aufführung der Symphonie Nr. 3 Don Quixoteï sein.
Engl.: The third of four movements in Robert W. Smith's epic work Don Quixote, the listener is treated to the comic relief that permeates the entire literary story line. Beginning with the opening bassoon solo characterizing Sancho Panza on his donkey, the composer uses unique percussion effects to convey the hapless hero and his never-ending battle to stay up on his horse Rocinante. The listener can hear the rusty suit of armor as Don Quixote continually falls from his horse in one adventure after another. Perhaps the most memorable imagery in the entire literary epic is Don Quixote's battle with the windmills. Using harmonic effects combined with unique percussion scoring, the composer has brought this tale to life through the unfocused eyes of the knight. Funny, yet with a sense of sadness, Sancho and the Windmills will be a favorite moment in the performance of Symphony No. 3 Don Quixote.
