The Stairway Suite
Joe Wolfe
Theme and Variations for Orchestra and Big Band ad lib upon an air by Plant & Page
Instrumentation
Orchestra 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in Bb 2 Bassoons 2 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in Bb 2 Trombones 1 Bass trombone or Tuba 4 Timpani (one player) Strings Bigband movement 2 Alto Saxophones in Eb 2 Tenor Saxophones in Bb 3 Trumpets in Bb 2 Trombones 1 Bass trombone Continuo Bass Drums Performance variations: The section for bigband (section 3) may be omitted in the absence of saxophones.
This requires deleting all but the first chord in the last two bars in the 5:4 movement. (The third section may also be performed by a bigband without orchestra.) The choir is required only for two short sections. The choral section in the C major movement may be omitted if no choir is available, and the coda may be performed by orchestra without choir or saxophones.

The Stairway Suite - Joe Wolfe. Orchestral variations upon an air by Plant & Page. The Led Zepplin song “Stairway to Heaven” is regarded as a rock classic by many critics. Its notoriety is assured by the thousands of would-be guitarists who can play the first dozen bars badly: it is to the guitar what “Chopsticks” is to the piano. In 1989 and 1990, on the ABC’s “The Money or the Gun”, each featured musician or group was obliged to perform a version of “Stairway”. For 25 programmes the tune was presented in a wide range of styles, from country to operatic, but there was no orchestral version. “Version 26” was commissioned in January 1991 by the UNSW Orchestra. The result is a set of orchestral variations, each in the style of a famous composer.
1. The first movement gives the introduction to the violas and flutes, then the two principal themes of ‘Stairway’ (oboe and clarinet, then cellos) appear in an orchestration borrowed from Schubert’s 8th Symphony (the ‘Unfinished’). This movement establishes the rules of the game: the pieces of the jigsaw have to be fitted together, but none may be bent so far as to be unrecognizable.
2. In the second movement, an augmented fourth and an extra beat per bar give the ‘Stairway’ themes a resemblance to Holst’s ‘Mars’ from ‘The Planets’.
3. Here the straight quavers of rock are replaced by the triplet rhythm of swing, and the orchestration is that of a Glen Miller big band.
4. The ‘Stairway’ themes can, with a few small changes, be used as canon fodder. Mahler used the canon ‘Frère Jacques’ as an infamous bass solo in his first symphony - what would it sound like if he had chosen ‘Stairway’?
5. And if the smugglers in Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ had been climbing a Stairway? The fifth movement explores this possibility.
6. Ludwig cannot be left out. The ‘Stairway’ theme - in a major key - appears first in the cellos and basses, then is shared around among the strings and wind like the ‘Freunde’ air in Beethoven’s ninth.
7. The finale starts with just a string trio, then adds a bassoon, then the string orchestra, some pyrotechnics for solo violin, then winds, then big band; and so on until the whole of the large score is covered with notes. The final solo typifies the gravity of the work.
About the composer. Joe Wolfe has mainly written music for jazz and fusion groups, including incidental music for plays and films. This was his first orchestral work. His next work for the UNSW Orchestra was "Sydney Sketches" - a set of tone poems, each of which is based in different Sydney location at a different time of day. His other orchestral works include "Circle of Fourths", using that unusual chord as its harmonic basis and a jazz-influenced Trumpet Concerto. These may be found at www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/Joe.html. Joe is also a Professor of Physics at UNSW.
