Synopsis

The first performance of The Shorter Ring was given by William Howard, at Shoreditch Church (St Leonard s) as part of the Spitalfields Festival, London, in a programme to mark the 70th birthday of the composer, on 14 June 2013. David Matthews writes: In May 2012 William Howard asked me if I could make a condensed piano version of Der Ring des Nibelungen for him to play at a 70th birthday party for our mutual friend Colin Senior, who is a keen Wagnerian. William wondered if I could compress the fifteen hours of The Ring into three minutes. I thought this might be a little impracticable, but I managed to do it in five minutes, while retaining enough of the thematic material, I think, to give listeners a clear idea of the story. In this bicentennial year I hope the piece will give pleasure and amusement to Wagnerians, and may also encourage those who haven t heard the whole cycle to embrace the extraordinary experience that Wagner s great work affords.
