CHORAL SERVICES Services are normally sung by King’s College Choir on Sundays and from Tuesdays to Saturdays. Services on Mondays are sung by King’s Voices, the College’s mixed voice choir. Exceptions are listed. ORGAN RECITALS Each Saturday during term time there is an organ recital at 6.30 p.m. until 7.15 p.m. Admission is free, and there is a retiring collection. MEMORIAL SERVICES There will be a Memorial Service to commemorate the life and work of Dr Hal Dixon (KC1946) on Saturday 18 October at 2.30 p.m. On Sunday 2 November a Memorial Service for Dr Peter Lipton will be held in the College Hall at 2.00 p.m. [ 2 ] MUSIC This year is the 50th anniversary of the death of Vaughan Williams in August 1958. As the Choir was not in residence in August, there is a focus on music by Vaughan Williams and some composers associated with him on 11 and 12 October, the latter date being that of his birth in 1872. At Evensong on Saturday 15 November, the College commemorates Canon Pat Magee, a former Chorister, Choral Scholar, Undergraduate and Chaplain who died on 20 March this year. The music chosen reflects his own taste: much of it was sung at his funeral in Salisbury Cathedral. Among visiting organ recitalists is Roger Williams who, as a research studenthereinthelatesixties, workedonSchoenberg. Twogreattwentieth century composers are honoured: on Saturday 18 October music by Howells is featured at Evensong, which will be attended by members of the Herbert Howells Society; Matyas Seiber’s Missa brevis will be heard on Thursday 20 November as part of a Cambridge-based celebration of Hungarian music. The College’s resident string quartet, the Dante Quartet, will lead the orchestra in Fauré’s Requiem on Sunday 2 November. This year sees the second Concerts at King’s series, represented in Chapel this term by a return of Elgar’s The Kingdom on Monday 1 December.

    Boys' Voices, Lads' Voices: Benjamin Britten and the “Raggazo

    Boys’ Voices, Lads’ Voices: Benjamin Britten and the “Raggazo” (Continental) Sound. Jim Coyle Lecturer, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, The University of Sydney, Australia. Abstract Over 20% of the opus-numbered compositions by Benjamin Britten involved the sound of young voices. In thirteen of these pieces, he stipulated a chorus of trebles. Britten is known to have had a preference for what he perceived as a natural singing sound, rather than the refined and pure tone of a cathedral choir. This study analyses these works for five musical parameters: pitch range, pitch proximity, mean pitch, phrase length, and notated dynamics to demonstrate that Britten had two distinct styles when writing for treble chorus. One is for the traditional English cathedral sound and the other is for the ‘continental’ voice produced by certain choirs for whom he wrote. There are some transitional works composed in the late 1940s and early 1950s that show characteristics of both of these styles. These conclusions will help in interpreting Britten’s works and as technical guidelines for composers seeking particular effects when writing for the treble choir. Keywords trebles, cathedral choir, Benjamin Britten, boys, continental tone, ragazzo. Introduction The Nature of the Question The use of boys’ voices is a noticeable characteristic of the music of English composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976). He was strongly committed to writing music for children and young people of both sexes and used them as soloists, in small ensembles, and in larger choruses and choirs (Holst, 1966). Certain of the works involving a chorus of boys show a marked timbral difference from the others and were composed with that particularly robust tone colour, the continental or ragazzo sound, in mind (Ashley, 2009).
