Difficulty level. for chorus. This highly dramatic and rarely performed work was written for a Festival of Music for the People and first performed on 5 April 1939 at the Queen's Hall, London, conducted by Constant Lambert. It is another of Britten's passionate outbursts against the waste and horror of war which had already engulfed Europe once earlier in the century and was about to do so for the second time. The declaration of war was made on 3 September that year. His choice of texts is highly significant. He had collaborated with Randall Swingler as recently as the previous year on his short unaccompanied choral work Advance Democracy - another politically motivated piece. see separate entry. Both Swingler and Auden were aiming in their poems to goad the downtrodden Englishman into standing up and fully living the life of freedom for which their forebears fought and lost their lives. Swingler's lines which say. 'You who lean at the corner and say “We have done our best”,. To you we speak, you numberless Englishmen, To remind you of the greatness still among you. Your life is yours, for which they died'. sum up the essence of the message of the piece. The work is in three continuous movements. First comes a Funeral March. to Swingler's poem part-quoted above. , then a manic Scherzo, a Dance of Death to a rum-te-tum verse by Auden which only increases its sense of the macabre. Finally comes a slow and powerful recitative and chorale and a slow Epilogue in which the funeral march music from the opening returns. Virtually the whole of the first section of the opening movement is in unison for the chorus. The slow tread of the funeral march is given an added solemnity by this unison singing. The first ten bars are recited on a low C, the next eight bars an octave higher, and after this there is a mixture of simple harmony. more to avoid high notes for low voices. and further unison singing for the rest of the movement. The Scherzo is interesting in setting out the first three vocal parts in a kind of fugal progress. The tenors have the first complete statement in the home key. G minor. , the altos are next in the dominant but by themselves, the sopranos are next in line and back in the tonic - again by themselves, and finally the basses have the subject but this time as the basis of a canon at the unison between them and the altos. in a truncated version. Funeral March. Scherzo. Dance of Death. Recitative and Choral. Epilogue.

Sværhedsgrad. for kor. Denne meget dramatisk og sjældent udførte arbejde blev skrevet til en festival for musik for de mennesker og uropført den 5. april 1939 Dronningesalen, London, dirigeret af Constant Lambert. Det er en anden af ​​Britten lidenskabelige Udbrud mod affald og krigens rædsler, som allerede var omspændt Europa, når tidligere i århundredet, og var ved at gøre det for anden gang. Den krigserklæring blev foretaget den 3. september samme år. Hans valg af tekster er af stor betydning. Han havde samarbejdet med Randall Swingler så sent som det foregående år om hans korte uledsaget korværk Advance Demokrati - en anden politisk motiveret brik. se særskilt post. Både Swingler og Auden sigtede i deres digte at anspore de undertrykte englænder i stående og fuldt lever livet i frihed, som deres forfædre kæmpede og mistede livet. Swingler linier, som siger. 'Du der læner på hjørnet og sige "Vi har gjort vores bedste",. Til dig vi taler, du utallige englændere, for at minde dig om den storhed stadig blandt jer. Dit liv er dit, som de døde '. opsummere essensen af ​​budskabet i stykke. Værket er i tre kontinuerlige bevægelser. Først kommer en Funeral March. til Swingler digt del citerede ovenfor. , Så en manisk Scherzo, en dødedans til en rom-te-tum vers af Auden, som kun øger sin sans for det makabre. Endelig kommer en langsom og kraftfuld recitativ og koral og en langsom Epilog, hvor begravelsen march musik fra åbningen afkast. Stort set hele den første del af bevægelsen åbning er i kor til omkvædet. Den langsomme slidbane af sørgemarch gives en ekstra højtidelighed ved denne unison sang. De første ti bjælker reciteret på et lavt C, de næste otte takter en oktav højere, og efter dette er der en blanding af simple harmoni. mere for at undgå høje toner for lave stemmer. og yderligere unisont sang for resten af ​​bevægelsen. Den Scherzo er interessant i beskrivelsen af ​​de første tre vokale dele i en slags fugal fremskridt. De tenorer har den første komplette erklæring i hjemmet nøgle. G-mol. , Altos er næste i den dominerende, men af ​​sig selv, The Sopranos er næste i rækken, og tilbage i tonic - igen af ​​sig selv, og endelig basserne har emnet, men denne gang som grundlag for en kanon i fællesskab mellem dem og Altos. i en afkortet udgave. Funeral March. Joke. Dødedans. Recitativ og kor. Epilog.
