When pianist Lara Downes first spoke with Adolphus Hailstork to propose a concerto commission, the composer was so taken by her gentle style that THE PEACEABLE KINGDOM quickly came to mind as inspiration for the concerto. This image refers to a series of paintings by the American artist and Quaker minister, Edward Hicks. Hicks is best known for his 62 Peaceable Kingdom paintings, inspired by a messianic prophecy from the book of Isaiah: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." In his PIANO CONCERTO NO. 2, Hailstork has created a Peaceable Kingdom by means of pastoral instrumentation, and friendly interplay between the soloist and orchestra. This publication provides the solo part and piano reduction of the orchestra. A full score is available for sale separately, and the orchestral set is available on rental.
The Quaker minister and painter Edward Hicks is best known for his more than sixty Peaceable Kingdom pictures. These paintings represent a messianic prophecy from the book of Isaiah:The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. (Isaiah 11:6)When Lara Downes asked me to write her a piano concerto, I took note of her gentle style, and the title THE PEACEABLE KINGDOM came quickly to mind. This lyrical one-movement work is in a modified Rondo form, ABACD.– Adolphus Hailstork.
