Ballad of Green Broom. from Five Flower Songs SATB a cappella. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral, Chorus. SATB a cappella. BH Secular Choral. 16 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060013928. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48008876. Text. anon. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. 3-4. These lovely, classic part-songs were written as a 25th wedding anniversary present for Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst of Dartington Hall. Apparently Britten chose the subject matter because they were keen botanists. Whatever the reason for the choice, it was a supremely happy one and brought from Britten a set of pieces which, while in a direct line of descent from the classic part-songs of Elgar, Stanford and Parry, are entirely original. These songs are designed as a set. The mood-scape shows that Britten was keenly aware of the variety needed to satisfy performers and audience between bookends. The unsentimental originality of To Daffodils with its tempo marking of Allegro impetuoso focusing on the speedy demise of the flower which is of course a metaphor for the passing of life. the clever division into four voices for the four months in The Succession of the Four Sweet Months and that beautifully simple device at the end where each month is named and forms a lovely cadence. the bitter-sweet Marsh Flowers to its poem by George Crabbe and the way Britten makes a slightly menacing atmosphere relieved only by the description of gentler plants. the ever-so-slightly sentimental Evening Primrose, the slow movement of the set. and finally Green Broom, a tour-de-force of humour which is crowned, at its heart, by Britten's slightly hysterical altos singing 'Go fetch me the boy'. The gradual accelerando throughout this piece leading to the final flourish makes this a wonderful and exciting finale to a set of part-songs which should be at the heart of any choirs repertoire. Points for choral directors to look out for include the tempo of To Daffodils. The key is in the direction Allegro impetuoso. Somewhere in the region of crotchet 116 should be the aim. Within that tempo use the words to colour the interpretation. Look out, as always, for Britten's carefully marked articulation and watch out for the big dynamic contrasts and colours. Tuning is the issue in both No.2 and No.3. In the opening of Marsh Flowers be careful of the size of intervals and in the second bar use the two anchors of F and C# to try to ensure that pitch doesnt slip. The return to a note which has already been sung should always be fractionally higher. masked by the change of vowel. thus ensuring that the pitch is always kept in place. In Green Broom it is issues of ensemble more than anything which provide the major challenge. This, and the stepping of increases in speed which should be measured so that the end does not become dangerously out of hand. Duration. 12 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Očitno Britten izbrali predmet, ker so bili navdušeni botaniki. Ne glede na razlog za izbiro, je bil nadvse srečen in prinesel iz Brittna nabor kosov, ki, medtem ko je v direktni liniji potomec klasičnih delnih pesmi Elgar, Stanford in Parry, ki so povsem izvirna. Te pesmi so zasnovani kot sklop. Razpoloženje krajina kaže, da je Britten globoko zavedajo raznovrstnih potreben za zadovoljitev izvajalce in občinstvo med bookends. Nesentimentalne izvirnost Za narcis s svojim tempom označevanje Allegro impetuoso osredotoča na hitro propadu cvet, ki je seveda metafora minevanja življenja. pametna delitev na štiri glasove za štiri mesece v nasledstvu štirih Sweet mesecev in da lepo preprosta naprava, na koncu, kjer je vsak mesec z imenom in predstavlja lep kadenco. Grenko-sladke močvirski Cvetje v svoji pesmi Georgea Craba in način Britten naredi rahlo grozeče vzdušje razrešen le z opisom nežnejšimi rastlin. vedno tako nekoliko sentimentalen svetlinovo, počasno gibanje niz. in končno Green Broom, tour-de-force za humor, ki je okronal na svojem srcu, ki ga Britten je nekoliko histerično Altos petje 'Pojdi prinesi mi fant ". Postopno accelerando vsej tej zgodbi, ki vodi do končnega razcvet je ta čudovit in zanimiv finale na niz delnih pesmi, ki morajo biti v središču vseh zborov repertoar. Točke za zborovsko direktorjev pozorni, so tempo želite narcis. Ključ je v smeri Allegro impetuoso. Nekje v področju Hišic 116 mora biti cilj. V tem tempu uporabim besede za barvanje razlago. Pazi, kot vedno, za Britten skrbno označeno artikulacije in pazi na velikih dinamičnih kontrastov in barv. Tuning je vprašanje tako No.2 in No.3. В открытии Марш Цветы будьте осторожны размера интервалами, а во втором баре использовать два якоря F и C. Vrnitev k pojasnilu, ki je že pela mora biti vedno fractionally višje. zakriti spremembe vokala. s čimer se zagotovi, da se smola vedno ostane na mestu. V zeleni Broom je vprašanja ansambel bolj kot karkoli drugega, ki zagotavljajo velik izziv. To, in krepitve naraščanja hitrosti, ki jih je treba meriti, tako da konec ne postane nevarno iz roke. Trajanje. 12 minut. Paul Spicer, Lichfield 2011.
