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.

Naravnanost Britten je kot ugovora vesti v drugi svetovni vojni je dobro znano, vendar so njegove simpatije za tiste, ujetih v njihove posledice so tako globoko čutil, kot je kdo. Pisni sredi vojnih let, je bil ta balada sestavljajo "Za Richarda Les in glasbenikov oflag VIIb - Nemčija". Les je organiziral glasbeni festival na tem častniški POW taborišča v Eichstättu, je Bavarska med februarjem in marcem 1943, delo Britten je nastopil na sedmih koncertih. Zgodba pripoveduje o nezvestega ženo in njenega ljubimca. Lady Barnard in malo Musgrave. so odkrili v flagrante delicto in umorili ga je prevarala moža, Lord Barnard. Glasba je čudovito opisoval zgodbo, ki se začne z plodding klavirski strani in prozaično odprtje pravljice. Kot baritone in nato tenorji pridružijo Napeti, da intenzivnost raste kot povezava med dvema ljubimcev je razgaljen. "Malo majhen stran" - Lady Barnardova lakaj - overhears Dodelitev dosežen med njima, in je črtice off razlitje fižol za svojega gospodarja, ki hiti, da jih lovijo red-handed. Musgrave misli sliši lorda Barnardova lovski rog pozivajo svoje konje hitrosti na. Njegova ljubica pa ga spodbuja, da ležijo dlje, misleč, da je le rog pastirsko. In tako se die cast. Končnica premika počasi threnody kot Barnard obžaluje smrt njegove žene, pozovite gravediggers da jo položite na vrhu Musgrave kot "ona prihaja iz plemenitega kin '. To je čudovito dramatično delo, ki bo tudi v okviru zmogljivosti večine razumnih zborov. Potrebuje skupino pevcev, ki lahko vzdržujejo dolgo ish linije v počasnejših prehodov, in boj proti morebitno tendenco k ploskosti v teh oddelkih, kot tudi. Paziti je treba na stanju med tri dele, in še posebej nad pregrado med dvema bas delov. Sposobnost. želja. povedati zgodbo z občutkom vpletenosti in strasti bo vse razlike do uspešne izvedbe.
