Written about the UK city of Newcastle upon Tyne, it was released as an album by The Nice which achieved the number two position in the UK album charts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chart Stats – The Nice – Five Bridges )〕 In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition ''Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock'', the album came No. 29 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums".〔''Q Classic: Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock'', 2005.〕 == History == The work was commissioned for the Newcastle Arts Festival and premiered with a full orchestra conducted by Joseph Eger on 10 October 1969 (the recorded version is from 17 October in Croydon's Fairfield Halls). The title refers to the city's five bridges spanning the River Tyne (two more have since been built over the river), and the album cover, by Hipgnosis, features an image of the Tyne Bridge. The five movements are: *Fantasia – orchestra with solo piano interludes by Keith Emerson *Second Bridge – trio without orchestra *Chorale – Lee Jackson's vocals with orchestra, alternating with piano trio interludes *High Level Fugue – piano with accompanying cymbals *Finale – a restating of the ''Second Bridge'' with additional jazz horn players. The most elaborate orchestral writing is the ''Fantasia'', but even this is fairly rudimentary, which is understandable as it was Emerson's first foray into this medium. Emerson credits Friedrich Gulda for inspiring the High Level Fugue, which uses jazz figures in the strict classical form. The suite was recorded at a concert performance. Also included on the ''Five Bridges'' album were live performances from the same Fairfield Hall concert of the Sibelius Intermezzo and a movement from Tchaikovsky's ''Pathetique'' Symphony. Both involved the orchestra playing the "straight" music juxtaposed with the trio's interpretations. Newly discovered material from this concert was later issued as part of a 3-CD set entitled ''Here Come The Nice''. The ''Five Bridges'' album also included a blending of Bob Dylan's "Country Pie" with Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 6" (with a quote of Coleman Hawkins' jazz line "Rifftide" as well) and a studio recording of the original "One of Those People". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Five Bridges」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
