Advance Democracy. 1938. SSAATTBB a cappella. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral, Chorus. SSAATTBB A Cappella. BH Secular Choral. 12 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051431922. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48003266. for SSAATTBB unaccompanied. Text. Randall Swingler. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. Advance Democracy is a piece of unabashed political propaganda commissioned by the London Co-operative Society. At a time of great anxiety in Europe and on the eve of the second World War, this poem by Randall Swingler paints a dark picture of the threat of dictatorship if democracy doesn't 'rise up and cry that what our fathers fought for well not allow to die'. It is a strange piece and its overtly political message makes it quite difficult to programme except as a curiosity. Britten, however, paints a very clever picture with a long legato line moving constantly through the texture from soprano to bass and back much in the manner which he had used in The Three Kings in A Boy was Born. Around this swirling figure the other parts sing sharply punctuated chords which are full of menace. The final section moves into the major. Britten's brightly flag-waving C major. and the ending is forcefully emphatic. The best way to perform this piece is to take the words at face value and sing them as Swingler intended, with passion and involvement taking care to really follow Britten's careful performance instructions as to articulation and dynamics. Duration. 3 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

HL.48003266. za SSAATTBB bez pratnje. Tekst. Randall Swingler. Izdavač. Boosey. Stupanj težine. Unaprijed Demokracija je komad bestidne političke propagande koju je naručio Londonskim zadruga. U vrijeme velike tjeskobe u Europi, a uoči drugog svjetskog rata, ova pjesma Randall Swingler oslikava mračnu sliku o opasnosti od diktature, ako je demokracija ne 'ustati i plakati da ono što su naši očevi borili za dobro ne dopustiti da umre '. To je čudno komad i njegova očito politička poruka, što ga čini vrlo teško programa, osim kao kuriozitet. Britten, međutim, boje vrlo pametan sliku s dugim legato linija kreće konstantno kroz teksture od soprana na basu i natrag puno na način koji je korišten u tri kralja u A dječak rođen. Oko tog kovitlaju slici ostali dijelovi pjevaju oštro isprekidanih akorde koji su puni prijetnje. Posljednji dio seli u glavni. Britten je vedro zastave maše C-dur. a kraj je nasilno nedvosmislen. Najbolji način za obavljanje ovog djela je da se riječi u nominalnoj vrijednosti, a pjevaju ih kao Swingler namijenjeni, sa strašću i uključenost pazeći da stvarno pratite Brittenovoj upute oprezni performansi kao da artikulacije i dinamike. Trajanje. 3 minute. Paul Spicer, Lichfield 2011.
