Text. anon. from the Oxford Book of Ballads. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. 2-3. This work had a curious genesis. Britten's stance as a conscientious objector in World War II is well known but his sympathies for those caught up in its ramifications were as deeply felt as anyone's. Written in the middle of the war years, this ballad was composed 'For Richard Wood and the musicians of Oflag VIIb - Germany'. Wood had organised a music festival at this officers' POW camp at Eichstätt, Bavaria between February and March 1943 and Britten's work was performed at seven of the concerts. The story tells of an unfaithful wife and her lover. Lady Barnard and little Musgrave. being discovered in flagrante delicto and murdered by the cheated husband, Lord Barnard. The music is wonderfully descriptive of the tale beginning with a plodding piano part and the prosaic opening of the tale. As the baritones and then the tenors join the fray, so intensity grows as the liaison between the two lovers is laid bare. A 'little tiny page' - Lady Barnard's footman - overhears the assignation made between the two, and he dashes off to spill the beans to his master who hastens to catch them red-handed. Musgrave thinks he hears Lord Barnard's hunting horn urging his horses to speed on. His mistress, however, encourages him to lie longer , thinking it is just a shepherd's horn. And so the die is cast. The ending is a moving slow threnody as Barnard laments the death of his wife, urging the gravediggers to put her on top of Musgrave as 'she comes from nobler kin'. This is a wonderfully dramatic work which will be well within the capabilities of most reasonable choirs. It needs a group of singers who can sustain long-ish lines in the slower passages, and counter a possible tendency to flatness in these sections as well. Care should be taken over the balance between the three parts and especially over the division between the two bass parts. The ability. desire. to tell the story with a sense of involvement and of passion will make all the difference to a successful performance. Duration. 10 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Britten stav po prigovoru savjesti u Drugom svjetskom ratu dobro je poznata, ali su mu simpatije za one koji je uhvaćen u svojim ograncima su tako duboko osjećao kao netko je. Zapisano u sredini ratnih godina, ta balada je skladao 'Za Richard Wood i glazbenika Oflag VIIb - Njemačka ". Drvo je organizirao glazbeni festival na ovoj službenika POW logora na Eichstätt, Bavaria između veljače i ožujka 1943. godine i Brittenovoj radu je provedena na sedam koncerata. Priča govori o nevjernoj ženi i njezina ljubavnika. Lady Barnard i malo Musgrave. što je otkrio u flagrante delicto i ubio je varao suprugu, Gospodina Barnard. Glazba je predivno opisne priče koja počinje s plodding glasovira i prozno otvaranje priče. Kao baritones i onda tenora pridruže u sukob, tako da intenzitet raste kao veza između dvoje ljubavnika se razgolititi. 'Malo maleni stranica' - Lady Barnardova lakaj - čuje povjeravanju između dvije, a on je crtice off proliven na svoga gospodara, koji ubrzava ih uhvatiti na djelu. Musgrave misli da čuje Gospodina Barnard je lovački rog pozivajući svoje konje brzine na. Njegova ljubavnica, međutim, potiče ga da laže više, misleći da je samo pastirski rog. I tako die cast. Završetak je kreće sporo naricaljka kao Barnard oplakuje smrt svoje supruge, pozivajući Grobari ju staviti na vrh Musgrave kao 'ona dolazi iz plemenitije rođak'. To je predivno dramatična djelo koje će biti dobro u mogućnosti većine razumnih zborova. Potrebno grupu pjevača koji može izdržati dugo-ish linije sporijim prolaza i suzbijanje moguće tendenciju plošnosti u tim dijelovima i.

Sposobnost. želja. ispričati priču s osjećajem angažmana i strasti učinit će sve razlike za uspješan nastup. Trajanje. 10 minuta. Paul Spicer, Lichfield 2011.
