Although it is framed by plainsong (the antiphon for the Vespers of Christmas Day), the cycle draws neither on plainsong nor any other traditional source for its musical material. Instead, Britten contributes to the English carol tradition on his own terms. Thus ostinato and canon are prominent, high voices are used rather than mixed voices, and a harp provides much of the formal structure rather than merely accompanying. Two very different two-note harp ostinati underpin Wolcum Yole! and There is no rose, and these two simple figures are joined together to give the four-note ostinato on which the extended central Interlude for harp is based. Although canons provide the basis of the striking carols which precede and succeed the Interlude, their effects could scarcely be more contrasted. In This little Babe they provide an almost bellicose vigour, while in In freezing winter night they serve to underline the grinding semitone A♭-G of the harp’s teeth-chattering ostinato. It is details such as these, as well as its melodic memorability and vocal effectiveness, which have assured A Ceremony of Carols its place among the best-loved English Christmas music. In Terra Pax – Gerald Finzi Gerald Finzi wrote his ‘Christmas Scene’, In Terra Pax, in 1954, only two years before his death from leukaemia at the age of 55. For his text Finzi interpolates St Luke’s well-known story of the angels appearing to the shepherds between the second and third verses of Robert Bridges’ poem “Noel: Christmas Eve, 1913”, in which the poet, walking alone at night, is reminded of the first Christmas by the pealing of church bells in villages he passes. Those bells peal too in Finzi’s setting, both quietly at the opening in the ’cellos and basses, and later climactically when the chorus sings “Glory to God”. Bridges’ words are given to the baritone soloist, and St Luke’s verses to the chorus and soprano soloist, the voices accompanied by strings, harp and cymbal. A quiet orchestral prelude establishes the mood, the lower strings stating the two principal melodic ideas of the piece (Bells and “Glory to God”, and “Peace on earth”) and the harp prefiguring the opening of the baritone solo. This solo develops both ideas, as does the ensuing chorus, the sopranos inverting the second idea, echoed by the strings. A cymbal roll then ushers in a brief allegro for the chorus (“And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them”) during which a descending fifth is twice used for the word “angel”. Finzi then uses this idea, thrice repeated, for the phrase “Fear not” at the beginning of the soprano solo which follows. By inverting the idea Finzi reintroduces the chorus, which moves to the climax of the work, the ‘bells’ and “Peace on earth” motifs ringing round all voices. The extended coda then closes the work in a valedictory mood, the two main ideas still dominating. The First Nowell – Ralph Vaughan Williams This was the last of Vaughan Williams’ compositions, left unfinished at his death in 1958. It was planned as a stage work with dancers as well as speaking and singing parts. Using a libretto adapted from mediæval pageants, the composer uses traditional carols as the basis of the vocal material, much as he had done in the Fantasia on Christmas Carols forty-six years earlier, the parallel being even closer by the inclusion of God rest you merry, Gentlemen, The Sussex Carol, The Truth from Above and The First Nowell in both works. The range of the latter work is wider, however, including two mediæval carols Angelus ad Virginem and Gabriel’s Salutation, the chorale How brightly shone the morning star and many other well-known Christmas melodies. The First Nowell is a moving summary of Vaughan Williams’ folk-song style, rich yet simply presented. Philip Honnor THE SOLOISTS (in alphabetical order) The Amici Ensemble The Amici Ensemble is a professional chamber orchestra administered from Leeds but working throughout the north of England. Its membership includes performers who also play with the major orchestras of the region (notably the BBC Philharmonic and the English Northern Philharmonia – Opera North) as well as distinguished teachers at colleges of music and institutes of higher education in the area. The group was formed in 1980 to meet the need for a locally-based professional chamber orchestra, with the aim of performing all types of music from the Baroque to the 20th century. Since then it has given regular concerts which have reflected that aim in the programmes (including some first performances) as well as several broadcasts. Rebecca Frawley Becky is in her final year of a degree in music at the University of Huddersfield. This is her second appearance with the Huddersfield Singers. She is a regular member of the University Choir, Chamber Choir and Madrigal Group. She will be singing in the University’s forthcoming production of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel. Becky has been a member of the National Youth Choir since 1988, taking part in its World Tour during 1992 as well as singing at the International Choir Festival in Rattenburg and most of the major London venues. John Garrett John was born in Burnley in 1966. He studied music at Huddersfield Polytechnic and graduated in 1988. In the same year he was awarded the Polytechnic Prize for Singing and also won the Dorothy Irwin prize in the vocal recital class at the Mrs Sunderland Music Festival. John is currently Head of Music at his old school, St Theodore’s in Burnley, and continues a career in teaching along with his singing engagements. He appears regularly with the Huddersfield Singers. John also took part in the prestigious Kathleen Ferrier singing competition which was held in the Wigmore Hall, London earlier this year. Honor Wright Honor trained at the Royal Manchester College of Music and then studied with David Watkins. Now living in North Yorkshire she works freelance, often playing with Opera North. Her husband Simon Wright is organist at Appleforth Abbey and chorus- master of the Leeds Festival Chorus. The Huddersfield Singers are very pleased to welcome Honor to her first appearance with them this evening. The Huddersfield Singers are always keen to welcome new members of all voice parts, and are currently particularly interested in enrolling more sopranos. If you think you could rise to the challenge of singing with this accomplished chamber choir, please talk to a choir member or the conductor. Alternatively, telephone the Secretary, Mrs G. L. Greenwood: 531157.

    GUIDE TO THE ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1961 "Sir John has the right age and temperament. He can mirror the sentient loveliness o f this rare music, yet keep it free from cloying sentiment; he traces its inner lines as delicately as nature traces veins on a leaf and so shows the thin but unifying forces of Delius’ art - for Delius is not really a composer of the blurred image." Thus wrote Ernest Bradbury of Delius’ On Hearing the First Cuckoo., vindicating, if such be needed, the decision to make an archive of these writings, «,, Time has edged far enough forward now for us to catch our breath reading that he heard Hindemith and Stravinsky conducting "in the flesh" which in time will doubtless seem more awesome still..^arguments about not spending allocated local authority funds on music and over-reliance on the familiar might have been written last night. <• Once again I have not, regrettably, been able to credit (though my husband usually did) the invaluable work of producers and designers.

  • Shakespeare Requiem' Receives Its First Performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST
    Judith Bingham's 'Shakespeare Requiem' receives its first performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST The long awaited première of Judith Bingham's Shakespeare Requiem took place in Leeds Town Hall, UK, on 29 November 2008. The opening of the newly built town hall in 1858 was celebrated with the formation of a grand choral society -- the Leeds Festival Chorus -- and its first musical director, William Sterndale Bennett, initiated a tradition of first performances in the autumn of that year by directing the first performance of his own cantata The May Queen. The tradition of bringing new works to Leeds has remained with the Festival Chorus throughout its century and a half lifetime. A succession of distinguished directors maintained the tradition by commissioning new choral works, and the chorus have brought to life a fine inventory of great choral premiers including Sullivan's Golden Legend and Dvorák's St Ludmilla in 1886 and Elgar's Caractacus in 1898 through to Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, the memorable commission of 1931, and Michael Berkeley's The Red Macula of 1989. For this year's 150th Anniversary celebration, Judith Bingham could hardly be a more ideal choice. A student of both composition and singing in her time at London's Royal Academy of Music, she joined the BBC Singers in 1983 and spent twelve years as a full time member, becoming closely involved from the inside in the many challenges of both new and old music that such a renowned professional group of singers would undertake on a weekly basis. As may be expected, there is a large amount of choral music in her considerable output -- her catalogue has recently been taken up by Peters Edition, London -- and yet the new work for Leeds is her largest choral and orchestral undertaking to date.
