The Morning Star. from Spring Symphony, Op. 44. SATB and Piano Reduction. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral. SATB. BH Secular Choral. 8 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051481903. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48022502. ISBN 1480330442. 6.75x10.5 inches. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. The Spring Symphony was commissioned by the Koussevitzky Music Foundation and is dedicated to Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was actually premiered at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam in July 1949 before its American premiere the following month at Tanglewood by its dedicatees. This work is a major undertaking from all points of view. It uses a huge orchestra. complete with cow horn which has to be hired specially. , a children's choir which certainly does not have to be composed only of boys, three soloists, and a large SATB chorus which is given very challenging and detailed music to sing. If any work demonstrates the flip side of the Britten coin from Saint Nicolas it must be the Spring Symphony. Here is a seriously intentioned, highly contemporary work for its time which nevertheless shows his predilection for anthologising texts, for creating amazing moments of levity - approaching the humorous episodes in his operas - and producing a score of such colour and vibrancy that the impression left on the mind is indelible. Despite being composed for an American ensemble and conductor this work is quintessentially British. The poems have strong connections with English pastoral imagery and some are forever associated with settings as madrigals. In fact this madrigalian emphasis bubbles gently beneath the surface for much of the work and points up where Britten's roots really lie. This is a challenging work on all fronts and is an extremely complex composition. It is however eminently performable by a choir of sufficient size to balance the large orchestra and who can rise to the level of attainment Britten requires. It also really does need a childrens' choir - and a children's choir which can sing with real confidence and projection. They are given a key role to play in this work. In fact the 'spring' element so vital to the whole concept is underscored by young singers in the 'springtime' of their lives. This, therefore, has to have a completely different kind of tone quality from the main choir - a second group of sopranos won't do. Beyond these practical caveats this is a score which deserves to be better-known and more often performed than it is, and choirs and orchestras should be encouraged to promote it widely. It is one of the most original choral. orchestral works of the first half of the twentieth century. Duration. Spring Symphony, complete. 45 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011 Full of humour and high spirits - the entry of the cowhorn always raises a smile - it makes a wonderfully upbeat ending to this earthy work. The children's choir is given a starring role throughout this amazing movement, but nowhere more so than at Britten's inspired coup de théâtre where he brings in the well-known Sumer is icumen in at the end which crowns the sweepin.

The Spring Symphony va ser encarregat per la Fundació Koussevitzky Music i es dedica a Serge Koussevitzky i l'Orquestra Simfònica de Boston. En realitat, va ser estrenada al Concertgebouw, Amsterdam al juliol de 1949 abans de la seva estrena a Amèrica del mes següent a Tanglewood pels seus dedicatees. Aquest treball és una important empresa de tots els punts de vista. S'utilitza una gran orquestra. completar amb banya de vaca que ha de ser contractat especialment. , Un cor de nens que certament no ha d'estar composta només per nois, tres solistes i un gran cor SATB que se li dóna la música molt exigent i detallat per cantar. Si algun treball demostra l'altra cara de la moneda de Britten de Saint Nicolas, ha de ser la Simfonia de Primavera. Here is a seriously intentioned, highly contemporary work for its time which nevertheless shows his predilection for anthologising texts, for creating amazing moments of levity - approaching the humorous episodes in his operas - and producing a score of such colour and vibrancy that the impression left on the mind is indelible. Tot i estar composta per un conjunt d'Amèrica i director d'aquest treball és la quinta essència britànica. Els poemes tenen fortes connexions amb Anglès imatgeria pastoral i alguns estan sempre associats a ajustos com madrigals. De fet, aquest èmfasi madrigalian bombolles suaument sota de la superfície de gran part de la feina i apunti cap amunt on les arrels de Britten realment menteixen. Aquest és un treball difícil en tots els fronts i és una composició molt complexa. No obstant això, és eminentment realitzable per un cor de mida suficient per equilibrar la gran orquestra i que pot elevar fins al nivell d'assoliment de Britten requereix. També que necessita un cor de nens - i un cor de nens que pot cantar amb veritable confiança i projecció. Se'ls dóna un paper clau que desenvolupar en aquest treball. De fet, l'element de "primavera" tan vital per a tot el concepte és subratllat per joves cantants en la "primavera" de la seva vida. Això, per tant, ha de tenir un tipus completament diferent de la qualitat del to del cor principal - un segon grup de sopranos no farà. Beyond these practical caveats this is a score which deserves to be better-known and more often performed than it is, and choirs and orchestras should be encouraged to promote it widely.
