The Spring Symphony was commissioned by the Koussevitzky Music Foundation and is dedicated to Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was actually premiered at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam in July 1949 before its American premiere the following month at Tanglewood by its dedicatees. This work is a major undertaking from all points of view. It uses a huge orchestra. complete with cow horn which has to be hired specially. , a children's choir which certainly does not have to be composed only of boys, three soloists, and a large SATB chorus which is given very challenging and detailed music to sing. If any work demonstrates the flip side of the Britten coin from Saint Nicolas it must be the Spring Symphony. Here is a seriously intentioned, highly contemporary work for its time which nevertheless shows his predilection for anthologising texts, for creating amazing moments of levity - approaching the humorous episodes in his operas - and producing a score of such colour and vibrancy that the impression left on the mind is indelible. Despite being composed for an American ensemble and conductor this work is quintessentially British. The poems have strong connections with English pastoral imagery and some are forever associated with settings as madrigals. In fact this madrigalian emphasis bubbles gently beneath the surface for much of the work and points up where Britten's roots really lie. This is a challenging work on all fronts and is an extremely complex composition. It is however eminently performable by a choir of sufficient size to balance the large orchestra and who can rise to the level of attainment Britten requires. It also really does need a childrens' choir - and a children's choir which can sing with real confidence and projection. They are given a key role to play in this work. In fact the 'spring' element so vital to the whole concept is underscored by young singers in the 'springtime' of their lives. This, therefore, has to have a completely different kind of tone quality from the main choir - a second group of sopranos won't do. Beyond these practical caveats this is a score which deserves to be better-known and more often performed than it is, and choirs and orchestras should be encouraged to promote it widely. It is one of the most original choral. orchestral works of the first half of the twentieth century. Duration. Spring Symphony, complete. 45 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011 Full of humour and high spirits - the entry of the cowhorn always raises a smile - it makes a wonderfully upbeat ending to this earthy work. The children's choir is given a starring role throughout this amazing movement, but nowhere more so than at Britten's inspired coup de théâtre where he brings in the well-known Sumer is icumen in at the end which crowns the sweepin.

The Spring Symphony ble bestilt av Koussevitzky Music Foundation og er dedikert til Serge Koussevitzky og Boston Symphony Orchestra. Det var faktisk premiere på Concertgebouw, Amsterdam i juli 1949 før sin amerikanske premiere i påfølgende måned på Tanglewood av sine dedicatees. Dette arbeidet er en stor oppgave fra alle synspunkter. Den bruker et stort orkester. komplett med ku horn som må leies spesielt. , Barnekoret som absolutt ikke trenger å være sammensatt bare av gutter, tre solister, og en stor SATB kor som er gitt svært utfordrende og detaljert musikk å synge. Hvis noe arbeid viser baksiden av Britten mynt fra Saint Nicolas må det være Spring Symphony. Here is a seriously intentioned, highly contemporary work for its time which nevertheless shows his predilection for anthologising texts, for creating amazing moments of levity - approaching the humorous episodes in his operas - and producing a score of such colour and vibrancy that the impression left on the mind is indelible. Til tross for å være sammensatt for en amerikansk ensemble og dirigent dette arbeidet er typiske britiske. Diktene har sterke forbindelser med engelsk pastorale bilder og noen er alltid forbundet med innstillinger som madrigaler. Faktisk bobler denne madrigalian vekt forsiktig under overflaten for mye av arbeidet, og peker opp der Brittens røtter egentlig ligge. Dette er et utfordrende arbeid på alle fronter, og er en ekstremt kompleks sammensetning. Det er imidlertid utpreget perform av et kor av tilstrekkelig størrelse til å balansere stort orkester, og som kan stige til nivået av oppnåelse Britten krever. Det har også virkelig trenger et barnekoret - og barnekor som kan synge med ekte selvtillit og projeksjon. De er gitt en viktig rolle å spille i dette arbeidet. Faktisk 'våren' element så viktig for hele konseptet er understreket av unge sangere i "våren" av deres liv. Det har derfor til å ha en helt annen form for tonekvalitet fra hoved kor - en andre gruppe av sopranos vil ikke gjøre. Beyond these practical caveats this is a score which deserves to be better-known and more often performed than it is, and choirs and orchestras should be encouraged to promote it widely. Det er en av de mest originale kor. orkesterverk av første halvdel av det tjuende århundre. Varighet. Spring Symphony, complete. 45 minutter. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011 Full of humour and high spirits - the entry of the cowhorn always raises a smile - it makes a wonderfully upbeat ending to this earthy work. The children's choir is given a starring role throughout this amazing movement, but nowhere more so than at Britten's inspired coup de théâtre where he brings in the well-known Sumer is icumen in at the end which crowns the sweepin.
