Rosie Bergonzi playing Blues for Gilbert by Mark Glentworth
Recorded at Guildhall School of Music and Drama

This four-mallet vibraphone solo was written by Mark Glentworth, a modern English composer in an attempt to express his feelings about the death of his teacher, Gilbert Webster. It is a transcription of what was originally an improvisation, meaning there is a fluid, jazz style to the piece. Glentworth improvised part of this material in a final lesson with his dying mentor. There is tenderness mingled in with happiness; celebrating Webster’s life and coming to terms with his absence. This ternary form piece has a molto robarto slow opening section with lots of chords and clusters. This then moves into an upbeat, swing section with complex cross rhythms between the hands, reflecting the good times the musicians shared. However this soon returns to the reflective melancholy of the opening, this time further ornamented, to reflect the sadness Glentworth feels for his mentor. Finally, the piece ends on a bittersweet piano chord.
