Old Wine in New Bottles

Composer: Gordon Jacob

A new brand of wine?  Nope – just one of the great pieces being performed at our Fall Concert. With movements named “The Raggle Taggle Gypsies,” “The Three Ravens,” and “Begone Dull Care”, how can you NOT want to come hear this piece performed? Come join us Sunday, October 23 at 4pm, Perry Hall at UW-Fox Valley. Click to read more about the interesting history of this piece...

Gordon Jacob composed Old Wine in New Bottles when he was sixty-four years old for the St. Bees Festival of Music. The festival was hosted by the St. Bees School, a coeducational grammar school, located in St. Bees Village on the coast of Cumbria near the English and Scottish border.

Old Wine in New Bottles premiered at the Symphony Concert at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, 1959.  According to a local newspaper clipping appearing shortly after the concert:

“It is not often to-day that a new work is the most popular in any concert programme. But Gordon Jacob’s “Old Wine in New Bottles” written specially for the festival amply deserved its success. This is a suite of four folk-song settings for woodwind and brass in which the composer displays all the dexterity of instrumental writing and harmonic ingenuity for which his music is well known. “The Raggle Taggle Gypsies,” “The Three Ravens,” and “Begone Dull Care” formed the basis of three well-contrasted movements. The final “Early One Morning” blended discreet sentiment, wit, and high spirit with a felicitous craftsmanship in a manner which recalled that of a Haydn finale.”

I love listening to the works of Gordon Jacob and this song of his is one of my favorites. I once heard this being played at a local orchestra here at our place and I just had to ask the maestro what was the title of the song they played. Once I learned the title of it, I immediately went home and search for it on YouTube and I listened to different versions of it from different orchestras. It was really soothing to listen to and I usually play it while studying because it helps me focus. I also listen to it while walking to school.

A wine is a drink which is mostly used for parties and weddings. A wine is made from rotten grapes which are preserved from 100 years and then turned into a liquid. There are many flavors of wine but the most expensive is the red wine.
