A Shepherd's Carol. 1944. SATB a cappella. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral. SATB. Music Sales America. Post-1900. 4 pages. Novello & Co Ltd. #NOV401436. Published by Novello & Co Ltd.. HL.14002562. for SATB unaccompanied. including SATB solos. Text. W. H. Auden. Publisher. Novello. published in Sing Nowell carol collection. Difficulty level. While Britten and Auden were living in the United States Auden wrote the text for a Christmas Oratorio which he later re-titled For the Time Being. It was always intended that Britten would set the poem to music. In the end, however, Britten returned to the UK and only set two brief portions of the text when asked to contribute to a BBC radio programme called A Poet's Christmas. Britten then set the Shepherd's Carol and Chorale after an Old French Carol. Auden had remarked that the text for The Shepherd's Carol should be set as either 'jazz or Folk-song'. Britten's rather lovely easygoing setting seems to show that he had listened to Auden's advice. The format of this beautifully simple carol is a repeated refrain sung by the choir. 'O lift your little pinkie, and touch the winter sky. interspersed by a verse each for the four soloists. It is one of Britten's most touchingly direct settings. It seems odd that he chose to withdraw it after its first performance. Duration. 4 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
Oversettelse
En Shepherd er Carol. 1944. SATB a cappella. Komponert av Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral. SATB. Music Sales America. Post-1900. 4 sider. Новый. Publisert av Novello. HL.14002562. for SATB enslige. inkludert SATB soloer. Tekst. W. H. Auden. Utgiver. Ny. publisert i Sing Nowell carol samling. Vanskelighetsgrad. Mens Britten og Auden levde i USA Auden skrev teksten til en Juleoratoriet som han senere re-tittelen for tiden. Det var alltid ment at Britten ville sette diktet til musikk. Til slutt, men Britten returnerte til Storbritannia og bare satt to korte deler av teksten da bedt om å bidra til en BBC radio program kalt A Poet jule. Britten deretter sette Shepherd Carol og Chorale etter en gammel fransk Carol. Auden hadde bemerket at teksten for The Shepherd er Carol bør settes som enten 'jazz eller folkesang'. Brittens ganske herlig avslappet innstilling synes å vise at han hadde lyttet til Auden råd. Formatet på denne strålende enkel carol er et gjentatt refreng sunget av koret. 'O løfte litt pinkie, og ta på vinterhimmelen. blandet med et vers hver for de fire solister. Det er en av Brittens mest rørende direkte innstillinger. Det virker merkelig at han valgte å trekke det tilbake etter sin første opptreden. Varighet. 4 minutter. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
