Aladdin was commissioned by Scottish Ballet, who gave the premiere at The Edinburgh Festival Theatre
on 20th December 2000. Sometime in the mid-1990s came the dream phone call- Robert Cohan, American choreographer
and founder of the London Contemporary Dance Company asking if Carl Davis would be interested in composing a
score for a full length ballet on the subject of Aladdin, for what is the traditional Nutcracker slot, Autumn
and Winter. The commission was from Scottish Ballet, then traditionally managed by the distinguished Russian
ballerina, Galina Samsova. Born in New York in 1936, Carl Davis moved to London in 1960 and found himself at
the heart of England’s theatre, television and film world. Davis is also a composer of symphonic works, a
writer for ballet and a notable conductor.




Music Composed and Conducted by
Carl Davis

Played by the
Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra




"Composing music for films has been central to Carl Davis' career, and his soundtracks for Napoleon, The Phantom of the Opera,
and The French Lieutenant's Woman are just a few of his numerous fine achievements in this genre. But one would be mistaken
to think that the prolific Davis only produces film music, for he has put his skills to good use in other genres, notably in the field
of ballet. His music for the London Contemporary Dance Company's production of Aladdin (2000) is possibly his most ambitious
dance work: this lavish score runs over two hours and overflows with the excitement and high passions that are characteristic of
Davis' evocative style. As performed by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra under the composer's direction, Aladdin comes off
in a grand Romantic manner, with several allusions to the ballets of the past, particularly those by Tchaikovsky and Delibes; but
it is also filled with the effective scene painting and sumptuous mood music that Davis has made his own. Of course, since this
piece is unabashedly old fashioned in its tunefulness and conventional in its tonality, some may feel that Davis has merely indulged
his talent for pastiche and produced a hollow imitation of a nineteenth century ballet; there are more than a few passages that
can make one wince at the baldness of his references and the blandness of his harmonies. Yet this work will find a wide audience
for its lush scenes and vibrant orchestration, and many will appreciate it for its ready accessibility, uncomplicated melodiousness,
and great warmth."

I'm familiar with some of Carl Davis' re-recordings of early film scores and classical music adaptations for film, but not with his original compositions.

My curiosity has got the better of me. Please send the link, and thanks for the share.

If I like the music, I'll request the other ballets.

very nice - a link would be great as well - thank you so much in advance...

Received, thank you. I definitely heard one of the primary themes from Gabriel Yared's "Troy" used extensively here. Since the booklet indicates that Carl Davis composed the ballet years before Yared's dust-up with the studio over "Troy", I'm wondering if Yared was influenced by Davis' work. Or were both composers coincidentally influenced by the late Miklos Rozsa?
