| dbo:abstract | Simon Waley Waley fou un compositor i pianista anglès. D'ascendència jueva, des de molt jove començà l'estudi del piano amb Moscheles i els de composició amb Horsley i Molique. Malgrat que mai exercí la música com a professió, perquè dedicà les seves principals activitats a la Banca i altres finances, en les que ocupà posicions envejables, aconseguí adquirir gran renom en el món musical londinenc com a concertista de piano i compositor de música de cambra i obres corals. Foren publicades moltes de les seves composicions per a piano, cançons, un Concert de piano amb acompanyament d'orquestra, i dos trios per a piano, de gran efecte. Les obres de Waley, molt influenciades per l'estil de Mendelssohn, s'assenyalen per la seva finor i elegància, així com per la seva riquesa harmònica i de detall. Una de les millors composicions seves és un arranjament coral dels Salms 117 i 188 per al servei de les sinagogues. (ca) Simon Waley Waley (23 August 1827, Stockwell, London – 30 December 1875, Marylebone, London) was one of the leading members of Anglo-Jewry in the 19th century. He was a leading broker on the London Stock Exchange and a prominent amateur musician. He was a leading figure in the Jewish community during the period of the emancipation of the Jews from civil disabilities. He contributed many letters to The Times under the signature W. London. His letters on A tour in Auvergne, published in the Daily News in 1858, were incorporated into John Murray's Handbook for Travellers in France. Waley was a highly gifted musician. He began to compose as a child. His first published work, L'arpeggio (for piano), was published in 1848. He had piano lessons from Ignaz Moscheles, William Sterndale Bennett and George Alexander Osborne, and lessons in theory and composition from William Horsley and Bernhard Molique. As well as being a brilliant pianist (he performed regularly at concerts of the Amateur Musical Society conducted by Henry Leslie), Waley was a prolific composer. His published compositions include a piano concerto (op. 16), two piano trios (in B flat and G minor, op. 15 and op. 20), marches and caprices for piano, and many songs, including "Angels' voices" and "Sing on, sing on, ye little birds". He also wrote orchestral pieces, which were not published. One of his finest works is a setting of Psalms 117 and 118 for the synagogue service. He died at home in 1875 and is buried at Balls Pond Road Cemetery. (en) |
