Singapore Symphony Orchestra
Lan Shui, conductor
CAPRICCIO FOR ORCHESTRA celebrates the fascinating journey of Victoria Concert Hall, from its rich tradition to its critical new role in fulfilling the artistic aspirations of future generations of Singaporeans.
Capriccio begins with a playful dance-like theme in the woodwinds, reflecting the free spirit of artistic discovery. It weaves its way through colourful harmonic and rhythmic twists, and culminates in a grand re-statement by the full orchestra. This leads to a tender lyrical melody in the first violins, flowing gently until suddenly beset by a passage of treachery.
The spell of darkness is broken by a powerful fanfare featuring horns and trumpets, projecting an air of architectural grandeur and boundless energy. As the fanfare reaches its climax, a fugue begins, alluding to the strictures of tradition. The music struggles to break free from the turbulence of counteracting fugal forces, and finally emerges in a triumphant brass fanfare.
The opening dance theme then returns with renewed vigour and confidence (it was present throughout, as the lyrical, treachery, fanfare and fugue themes are actually derived from its melodic constituents). The dance soars, deepens and builds in tension and Capriccio concludes with its momentum suspended in mid air, at its highest point of intensity.
Capriccio for Orchestra was commissioned by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra in commemoration of the re-opening of Victoria Concert Hall on 16th July 2014.

0:00 - Introduction
0:39 - Overture
5:08 1. It Is Portentous
It is portentous, and a thing of state
That here at midnight, in our little town
A mourning figure walks, and will not rest,
Near the old court-house pacing up and down.
Or by his homestead, or in shadowed yards
He lingers where his children used to play,
Or through the market, on the well-worn stones
He stalks until the dawn-stars burn away.
7:08 2. Until The Dawn-Stars Burn Away
A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black,
A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl
Make him the quaint great figure that men love,
The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.
10:03 3. He Cannot Sleep
He cannot sleep upon his hillside now.
He is among us:—as in times before!
And we who toss and lie awake for long
Breathe deep, and start, to see him pass the door.
12:19 4. His Head Is Bowed
His head is bowed. He thinks on men and kings.
Yea, when the sick world cries, how can he sleep?
Too many peasants fight, they know not why,
Too many homesteads in black terror weep.
The sins of all the war-lords burn his heart.
He sees the dreadnaughts scouring every main.
He carries on his shawl-wrapped shoulders now
The bitterness, the folly and the pain.
14:12 5. He Cannot Rest Until a Spirit Dawn Shall Come
He cannot rest until a spirit-dawn
Shall come;—the shining hope of Europe free;
The league of sober folk, the Workers Earth,
Bringing long peace to Cornland, Alp and Sea.
16:20 6. Finale
It breaks his heart that kings must murder still,
That all his hours of travail here for men
Seem yet in vain. And who will bring white peace
That he may sleep upon his hill again?")

Jasper Tan, bass trombone
Gabriel Hoe, piano
Commissioned by Singaporean bass trombonist Jasper Tan in late 2014, Pentasy, which is an amalgamation of the words ‘pentatonic’ and ‘fantasy’, is a reflective piece which brings the listener through variations on different kinds of pentatonic scales. This work also contains extended techniques for both trombonist and the pianist.
Pentasy was premiered by Jasper Tan and Gabriel Hoe at the Esplanade Recital Studio, Singapore on the 18th of January, 2015. This work was revised in 2025 to remove the need for the pianist to have access to a sostenuto pedal.")
