Original tekst

A work for Soprano, Woodwind, 2 Horns and Strings. Duration. circa 15 minutes. Programme Note. "This work was commissioned as a possible companion piece to Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate and the decision was quickly made to write something as a complete contrast. The poems chosen, one anonymous from the early 16th century, the other two by the famous Scottish poet William Dunbar. 1460. –1513. , describe the promise of salvation after life’s dark passage. Each of the three poems echo this thought. “In celum, ther is joy with Thee”, “A short torment for infinite gladness” and “Since erdly joy abides never, Work for the joy that lastès ever”. Thus in each poem the poet can overcome the fear of his inevitable death with the certainty of salvation. this work also has its ‘dark’ moments, but the overall mood is one of calmness and peace. As with the words there are several musical motives that link the three songs. The musical motive for the refrain “Terribilis mors conturbat me” in the first macaronic poem. also a salute to Mozart since the Exsultate is in Latin. returns a little higher and more despairingly in each verse until the last verse where it is played a whole octave higher. This motive reappears. played mostly by the oboes. in the last song but now the pitch of each repeat goes in reverse, that is, from high to low. The famous motive of the Gregorian chant Dies Irae. representing death. is used to accompany the prayer of the second song. A musical motive for the joy of Paradise appears in the second song “A free choice given to Paradise or Hell”. There is also a ubiquitous 3-note chordal cluster which is used to illustrate the words. sometimes as a colour, and sometimes as articulation. The bird of the last song “Thus sang ane bird with voice upplane” becomes several birds. oboes. singing in A major, but with a D sharp, thus the Lydian mode. However the refrain of this poem “All erdly joy returns in pane” is in F major. This alternation of F major. A major tonalities is a ‘structural’ feature which, is of course, heralded by Mozart in his “Exsultate Jubilate”. This work is thus written in homage to Mozart. - Thea Musgrave.

Et værk for sopran, træblæsere, 2 Horns og Strings. Varighed. omkring 15 minutter. Program Note. "Dette arbejde blev bestilt som en mulig pendant til Mozarts Exsultate Jubilate og beslutningen blev hurtigt gjort til at skrive noget som en fuldstændig kontrast. Digtene valgt en anonym fra det tidlige 16. århundrede, de to andre af den berømte skotske digter William Dunbar. 1460. -1513. Beskriver løftet om frelse efter livets mørke passage. Hver af de tre digte echo denne tanke. »I celum, ther er glæde med Dig", "En kort pine for uendelig Glæde" og "Siden erdly glæde overholder aldrig, Arbejde for den glæde, lastès nogensinde". Således i hvert digt digteren kan overvinde frygten for sin uundgåelige død med visheden om frelse. dette arbejde har også sine »mørke« øjeblikke, men den overordnede stemning er en af ​​ro og fred. Som med ordene er der flere musikalske motiver der linker de tre sange. Den musikalske motiv til omkvædet "Terribilis mors conturbat mig" i første macaronic digt. også en hilsen til Mozart siden Exsultate er på latin. returnerer en lidt højere og mere despairingly i hvert vers indtil den sidste vers, hvor det er spillet en hel oktav højere. Dette motiv igen. meste spillet af oboer. i den sidste sang men nu banen for hver gentagelse går baglæns, dvs. fra høj til lav. Den berømte motiv af den gregorianske sang Dies Irae. repræsenterer døden. til at ledsage bønnen af ​​den anden sang. En musikalsk motiv for glæden af ​​Paradis vises i den anden sang "Et frit valg givet til Paradis eller helvede". Der er også en allestedsnærværende 3-toners chordal klynge, der er anvendt til at illustrere ordene. undertiden som en farve, og nogle gange som artikulation. Fuglen af ​​den sidste sang "Således sang ane fugl med stemmen upplane" bliver flere fugle. oboer. synge i et større, men med en D skarp, således Lydisk. Men omkvædet af dette digt "All erdly glæde vender tilbage i ruden" er i F-dur. Denne vekslen af ​​F-dur. En større tonalitet er en "strukturel" funktion, som er naturligvis indvarslet af Mozart i hans "Exsultate Jubilate". Dette arbejde er således skrevet i hyldest til Mozart. - Thea Musgrave.
