Notes & Reviews	Back to Top

In reviewing Bill Worland's memoirs 'Fumble Four Bars In' (British Music Society News 80 page 246) I said I would love to hear some of his music. Now, courtesy of Marco Polo and the highly accomplished RTE Orchestra, brilliantly directed by the young Gavin Sutherland, I have my wish. Worland, born in 1921, was a pianist in dance bands and light orchestras either side of the Second War and turned his hand to composition at a time when British light music was going into something of a decline in public appreciation. He is not easily discouraged, however, and has continued composing, achieving broadcast and some live performances and now a CD to himself in Marco Polo's admirable series. And an attractive one it is, too, and quite varied. Worland, like not a few light music composers, derives inspiration from Latin American and Spanish rhythms, as we can hear from the Tres Señoritas suite and the movements Latin Lovers, Pepita, Sombrero, Happy Hacienda and Bossa Romantica, all in this disc, all tuneful and entertaining. I also enjoyed In the Shadow of Vesuvius, a suite, or sequence in several sections, which conveys the colour of Italy nicely. But Worland can portray British scenes and people too; Scottish Power, another suite/sequence, Dreaming Spires, Leeds Castle, To Eleanor (wife of Edward I) and the moving Rhapsody Tristesse, dedicated to his one time piano teacher. As he says in his insert notes the lively Shopping Spree (track 1) was reckoned to resemble Robert Farnon. Indeed it does; Worland's piece of train music is Farnonish too - hardly surprising in view of Farnon's long-held, high status in light music this side of the Atlantic. Some of the music, like Millennium Celebration March and Scottish Power, have been recently composed, for the recording in fact. Bill Worland will be a new experience for many of you, but hopefully an enjoyable one. I hope there is more to come from his pen. -- Philip Scowcroft, MusicWeb International
