Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. As young as he was, aged only 16, Britten produced in this carol a tiny masterpiece. This is one of the most well-known and best-loved of his choral pieces. Understandably so, too. It has all the ingredients which make for a really satisfying choral experience. The use of a solo quartet or small semi-chorus, best placed at a distance, brings a dramatic element to the essential simplicity of the carol. The Latin responses of the semi-chorus to the medieval English words of the main chorus give these responses a further element of mystery which adds another layer of spiritual drama. The ratcheting up of the intensity in the final verse by increasing the tempo, by the ATB of the main chorus singing continuous rising phrases and by the sopranos singing a short phrase which is answered by the semi-chorus brings the piece to its climax. The final tranquillo page leads the carol to its conclusion in a mesmerizingly beautiful final phrase sung by the semi-chorus. Care needs to be taken with the speed, the semi-chorus placing, and the creation of an atmosphere which demands attention from the listener. Speed. be careful to note Brittens marking of quaver. 8th note. 69-72. This is very slow indeed. Try it with a metronome. Many conductors perform this piece at crotchet. 4 note. 69. Frankly, I find the original speed too slow to make this piece flow. I see that when I recorded this with the Finzi Singers we made a tempo of crotchet c50. Purists may be dismayed at this wilful ignoring of a composer's intentions. especially given the strictures outlined in the Preface to this Guide. I think if I were to re-record this now, I would choose a tempo of about quaver 88. Note that for the quicker final verse Britten suggests a crotchet tempo. This means he did think about the issues of speed very carefully. Placing. Some choirs choose to put the semi-chorus at the other end of the church, or in a gallery for dramatic effect. Directors, however, have to remember that while this might work in the first two verses, in the last verse the two groups sing together and have to balance to some degree. Thought should also be given to the fact that if the semi-chorus is placed at the other end of a church behind the audience, the audience sitting near the back will hear them more strongly than the main choir. It is best to place the semi-chorus behind the choir but still quite close, perhaps by the altar if the main choir is in the choirstalls, or just in front of the altar. Always make sure that the semi-chorus can see the conductor. Duration. 4 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Tako mlad, kot je bil, stari komaj 16 let, Britten, proizveden v tej carol majhno mojstrovino. To je eden izmed najbolj znanih in najbolj ljubil njegovih zborovskih kosov. Razumljivo je, da tudi. Ima vse sestavine, ki bi za res izpolnjuje zborovske izkušnje. Uporaba solo kvartet ali majhno pol-refren, najboljšem položaju na daljavo, prinaša dramatično element bistveno enostavnosti carol. Latinske odzivi polfinalu zboru do srednjeveških angleških besedah ​​glavnega zboru dal ti odzivi še en element skrivnosti, ki dodaja še eno plast duhovne drame. Stranske up intenzivnosti v zadnjem verzu s povečanjem tempo, ki ga je ATB glavnega refrenu poje nepretrganega naraščanja fraze in The Sopranos petje kratek stavek, ki je odgovorila s polpriklopnika refrenu prinaša kos doseglo vrhunec. Tranquillo stran končno vodi Carol njegove sklenitve v mesmerizingly lepi zadnjem stavku poje s polpriklopnika refren. Paziti je treba sprejeti s hitrostjo, semi-chorus dajanju in oblikovanju ozračja, ki zahteva pozornost poslušalca. Speed. bodite previdni, upoštevajte, Brittens označevanje Tremolirati. 8. note. 69-72. To je zelo počasen dejansko. Poskusite z metronom. Mnogi vodniki opravljajo to delo na Hišic. 4 note. 69. Odkrito povedano, se mi zdi izvirna hitrost prepočasna, da bi ta del toka. Vidim, da ko sem to snemal z Singers Finzi smo naredili tempo Hišic C50. Puristi se lahko plaši pri tem namerno ignoriranje namere skladatelj je. zlasti zaradi zožitve, opisane v uvodu k temu vodniku. Mislim, da če bi bil ponovno posneti to zdaj, jaz bi izbrali tempo okoli Tremolirati 88. Upoštevajte, da je za hitrejši zadnjem verzu Britten predlaga Hišic tempo. To pomeni, da ni razmisleka o vprašanjih hitrosti zelo previdno. Dajanje. Nekateri zbori odločijo dati pol-refren na drugem koncu cerkve, ali v galeriji za dramatičen učinek. Direktorji pa pozabiti, da medtem ko bi lahko to delo v prvih dveh verzih, v zadnjem verzu dve skupini pojejo skupaj in imajo uravnotežiti do neke mere. Proučiti bi bilo treba tudi na dejstvo, da če je pol zbor postavljen na drugem koncu cerkve v ozadju občinstvo, občinstvo je sedel v bližini hrbtni jih bo bolj sliši kot glavni zbor. Zato je najbolje, da se da pol-refren zadaj zbor, vendar še vedno zelo blizu, morda z oltarjem, če je glavni zbor je v choirstalls, ali pa tik pred oltarjem. Vedno se prepričajte, da lahko semi-refren si oglejte vodnik. Trajanje. 4 minute. Paul Spicer, Lichfield 2011.
