A Shepherd's Carol. 1944. SATB a cappella. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral. SATB. Music Sales America. Post-1900. 4 pages. Novello & Co Ltd. #NOV401436. Published by Novello & Co Ltd.. HL.14002562. for SATB unaccompanied. including SATB solos. Text. W. H. Auden. Publisher. Novello. published in Sing Nowell carol collection. Difficulty level. While Britten and Auden were living in the United States Auden wrote the text for a Christmas Oratorio which he later re-titled For the Time Being. It was always intended that Britten would set the poem to music. In the end, however, Britten returned to the UK and only set two brief portions of the text when asked to contribute to a BBC radio programme called A Poet's Christmas. Britten then set the Shepherd's Carol and Chorale after an Old French Carol. Auden had remarked that the text for The Shepherd's Carol should be set as either 'jazz or Folk-song'. Britten's rather lovely easygoing setting seems to show that he had listened to Auden's advice. The format of this beautifully simple carol is a repeated refrain sung by the choir. 'O lift your little pinkie, and touch the winter sky. interspersed by a verse each for the four soloists. It is one of Britten's most touchingly direct settings. It seems odd that he chose to withdraw it after its first performance. Duration. 4 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Mens Britten og Auden levede i USA Auden skrev teksten til en jul Oratorio som han senere re-titlen for tiden. Det var altid meningen, at Britten ville sætte digtet til musik. I sidste ende dog Britten vendte tilbage til England, og kun sat to korte dele af teksten, når bedt om at bidrage til en BBC radio program kaldet En Digters Jul. Britten derefter indstille Shepherds Carol og Chorale efter en gammel fransk Carol. Auden havde bemærket, at teksten til Shepherds Carol bør fastsættes som enten 'jazz eller Folk-sangen'. Brittens temmelig dejlig afslappet indstilling synes at vise, at han havde lyttet til Auden råd. Udformningen af ​​denne smukt enkle carol er en gentagen omkvæd sunget af koret. 'O løfte din lille Pinkie, og røre ved vinter himmel. afbrudt af et vers hver for de fire solister. Det er en af ​​Britten mest rørende direkte indstillinger. Det virker underligt, at han valgte at trække det tilbage, efter uropførelsen. Varighed. 4 minutter. Paul Spicer, Lichfield 2011.
