The William Walton Edition is a collected edition of the works of one of England's finest and best-loved composers. Each work is newly edited and engraved, and checked against the composer's
manuscript, previous published editions, and all other relevant material. The result is a definitive and fully practical edition, based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished it to be
performed. These performing materials incorporate all the research from the full score (Walton Edition vol. 7), and present new editions of Façade Entertainment, and Façade 2, and four hitherto
unpublished numbers all in new, clear engraving.
A detailed preface in the full score explains the fascinating history of the work, with full textual notes and an appendix of the poems.
The set
of parts comprises Flute and piccolo, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone in E flat, Trumpet in C, Percussion, Cello, and Cello A and B for Façade 1.
Score and parts are also available from the OUP Hire
Library.
- 'It is particularly rewarding finding a twentieth-century British composer's work produced to such a high standard . . . Lloyd-Jones claims that when the edition is completed, "no British
composer born in the twentieth century will have been better served by his publisher". That could well be true.' Peter Dickinson, Music and Letters, May 2002
- 'As for the new score, it is nicely
produced . . . and feels good . . . The commentary on each item is thorough, and worth reading even by those who normally ignore the small print . . . But congratulations to the editor and publisher
for at least putting the whole of the Façade material together in one volume with full explanation.' Clifford Bartlett, Brio, Spring/Summer 2001
