Original tekst

A Hymn of St. Columba. Regis regum rectissimi. 1962. SATB and Organ. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral, Chorus, Organ. SATB. Boosey & Hawkes Sacred Choral. 12 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060014482. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48008927. Text. attributed to St. Columba. in Latin. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. This short work was commissioned for the 1400th anniversary of the voyage Columba made from Ireland to the island of Iona. Rather bizarrely, the first performance was given outdoors at Churchill, Co. Donegal where St. Columba was said to have preached and was apparently inaudible because of the strength of the wind. The anthem is wonderfully effective and is a very good example of Britten. s ability to create an original canvas within the traditions of the Anglican Church. The piece is all about the fire in Columbas belly for his missionary task. The words are almost a variation on the Dies Irae. 'King of Kings and Lord most high, his day of judgement comes near, Day of wrath and vengeance, Day of shadows and dark clouds. ' etc. Britten brilliantly sets the mood with a disturbing pedal ostinato which keeps returning throughout the piece sometimes in the manuals and often in the pedals. The broad unison melody which begins the anthem returns at the end briefly as a canon between sopranos. tenors and altos. basses before closing, without slowing down, with two almost menacing, but ever-quietening repetitions of the word 'domini'. Don't let the brevity of this work put you off from programming it. In fact, Britten wrote four 'Hymns'. Virgin. St. Peter. St. Columba. St. Cecilia. which work very well together in a concert and around which an imaginative programme can be built. Its brevity also makes it either suitable as an introit for a service Mixed Voices with keyboard commemorating Columba, or perhaps, at All Souls or even Remembrance. It would serve equally as an anthem. In performance it is Britten's direction that it should be sung 'with fire' which should underpin the interpretation. As always, making the most of dynamic variation will give the work some of its colour. The wonderful moment when, after a diminuendo, the first theme returns pianissimo and with a crescendo. maeroris ac tristitiae, Regis regum rectissimi,. where the words 'King of Kings' are uttered with hushed awe needs special care and thought about tone quality. Duration. 3 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

En Hymn of St. Columba. Regis Regum rectissimi. 1962. SATB og orgel. Komponeret af Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Kor, Chorus, Orgel. SATB. Boosey. 12 sider. Буси. Udgivet af Boosey. HL.48008927. Tekst. tilskrevet St. Columba. på latin. Publisher. Boosey. Sværhedsgrad. Denne korte arbejde blev bestilt til 1400:e årsdagen for sejladsen Columba foretaget fra Irland til øen Iona. Temmelig bizart blev uropførelsen givet udendørs på Churchill, Co Donegal hvor St. Columba var siges at have prædiket og tilsyneladende var uhørlig grund af styrken af ​​vinden. Hymnen er vidunderligt effektiv og er et meget godt eksempel på Britten. s evne til at skabe en original lærred inden traditioner den anglikanske kirke. Stykket handler om branden i Columbas mave for hans missionær opgave. Ordene er næsten en variation på Dies Irae. 'Kongen af ​​konger og Lord mest høj, hans dommens dag kommer i nærheden, Vredens Dag og hævn, Day of skygger og mørke skyer. 'Osv.. Britten glimrende sætter stemningen med en foruroligende pedal ostinato der holder vender tilbage hele brik undertiden i manualerne og ofte i pedalerne. Den brede unison melodi som begynder hymnen tilbage i slutningen kortvarigt som en kanon mellem sopraner. tenorer og altos. basser før lukketid, uden at bremse, med to næsten truende, men stadigt quietening gentagelser af ordet "Domini". Lad ikke kortfattethed af dette arbejde sætte dig fri fra at programmere den. Faktisk Britten skrev fire "Hymns '. Virgin. St. Peter. St. Columba. St. Cecilia. som fungerer godt sammen i en koncert og omkring hvilke en fantasifuld program kan bygges. Dens korthed gør det også enten velegnet som Introit for en tjeneste Mixed Voices med tastatur mindes Columba, eller måske på Alle Sjæles eller endda Remembrance. Det ville tjene lige så som en hymne. I ydeevne er det Britten retning, at det skal synges "med ild", som bør understøtte fortolkning. Som altid vil gøre mest dynamiske variation give arbejdet nogle af dens farve. Den vidunderlige øjeblik, hvor, efter en diminuendo, den første tema returnerer pianissimo og med et crescendo. maeroris ac tristitiae, Regis Regum rectissimi,. hvor ordene »Kongernes Konge« er sagt med dæmpet ærefrygt brug for særlig omsorg og tænkte tone kvalitet. Varighed. 3 minutter. Paul Spicer, Lichfield 2011.
