Two Part-Songs. I Lov'd a Lass & Lift Boy. 1932. SATB and Piano, Complete Edition. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral. SATB. BH Secular Choral. 24 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051481941. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48022504. ISBN 1480329908. 6.75x10.5 inches. Texts. George Wither. I Lov'd a Lass. and Robert Graves. Lift Boy. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. These are two delightful and contrasted part-songs for choir and piano which ought to be a gift to choirs looking for rare secular repertoire for their concert programmes. I lov'd a lass is full of fun, while the challenge lies in the regularly changing metre. The choir's first bar is in 7. 8 and is followed by 5. 4 and then 3. Later on Britten gives us 3. 4, 7. 8, 11. 8, 4. 4, 5. 4, 7. 8, 4. 4 in successive bars but this all adds to the entertainment. There are lots of portamenti too in what adds up to a passionate little piece. Lift Boy sets a nonsense poem by Robert Graves about a boy who starts life as a knife-boy, moves on to become a lift boy and then a lift man. Preached damnation by 'Old Eagle' one day, he cuts the lift cables and down they all go. But Graves ends by saying. 'Can a phonograph lie. A song very neatly contriv'd to make you and me laugh'. Curious indeed. But Britten obviously sees the humour in it with a busy piano part accompanying straightforward choral passages which have nothing of the complexity of metre of the previous song. The message of damnation is delivered in suitably solemn tones before the piece dances off to its laughing ending. Duration. 5 minutes total. Lass2. Lift3. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Two Part-Cançons. Em Lov'd una noia. 1932. SATB and Piano, Complete Edition. Compost per Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. Per Coral. SATB. BH Secular Coral. 24 pàgines. Boosey & Hawkes #M051481941. Publicat per Boosey. HL.48022504. ISBN 1480329908. 6.75x10.5 polzades. Textos. George Wither. Em Lov'd una noia. and Robert Graves. Ascensor Boy. Editor. Boosey. Grau de dificultat. These are two delightful and contrasted part-songs for choir and piano which ought to be a gift to choirs looking for rare secular repertoire for their concert programmes. Em lov'd una noia està ple de diversió, mentre que el desafiament consisteix que el mesurador canvia regularment. The choir's first bar is in 7. 8 i és seguit per 5. 4 i després 3. Posteriorment Britten ens dóna 3. 4, 7. 8, 11. 8, 4. 4, 5. 4, 7. 8, 4. 4 en bars successives però tot això se suma a la diversió. Hi ha un munt de portamenti massa en el que se suma a un petit tros apassionat. Ascensor Boy estableix un poema sense sentit per Robert Graves sobre un nen que comença la vida com un ganivet-boy, passa a convertir-se en un nen ascensor i llavors un home d'elevació. Va predicar la condemnació per 'Old Eagle', un dia, ell talla els cables d'elevació i cap avall tots es van. Però Greus acaba dient. 'Pot una mentida fonògraf. Una cançó molt prolixament contriv'd fer tu i jo riure '. Curiós fet. Però Britten òbviament considera l'humor en ella amb una part de piano ocupat acompanyant passatges corals senzilles que no tenen res de la complexitat de metro de la cançó anterior. El missatge de condemnació es lliura en tons solemnes adequadament abans de la peça balla fora de la seva finalització rient. Durada. 5 minutes total. Lass2. Lift3. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
