[4] VARIATIONS FOR STRING ORCHESTRA ON A THEME OF FRANK BRIDGE, Op. 10 By Benjamin Britten Born at Lowestoft, England, November 22, 1913 These Variations were composed in 1937 and in that year had their first perform- ance, at the Salzburg Festival. They were performed at the Boston Symphony Con- certs April 25-26, 1941, and February 3-4, 1950. npHE brief introduction to the Variations consists of broad chords *• and displayful runs and trills. The theme is given out by the first violins allegro poco lento. It is to be varied with such freedom as often to be scarcely recognizable. The descending interval of a fifth which begins it becomes a sort of earmark. An "Adagio" follows, consisting of soft chords for lower strings and ornamental passages for the violins. There is a lively "March," light and staccato, presto alia marcia. An "Aria Italiana" follows, allegro brillante. The first violins with orna- mental trills suggest the operatic, coloratura style. The next movement is a "Bourree Classique" a simple but strongly rhythmed movement with a pianissimo middle section. A Moto Perpetuo progresses upon IN PROVIDENCE make your choice from the complete line of BALDWIN PIANOS and ORGANS at Rhode Island's authorized Official Piano BALDWIN DEALER Boston Symphony Orchestra {see back cover) 287 Weybosset St. (Across from Round Top Church) Phone TEmple 1-6304 PIANOS fc ORGANS [5] rapid and unremitting sixteenth notes to a fortissimo climax. A Marcia Funebre follows. The final Fugue is in a lively 12-8 rhythm, sometimes suggestive, as it gathers impetus, of the tarantella. The orchestra, much divided, attains a considerable complexity and sets forth the usual devices of augmentation and inversion. At last, lento e solenne, the violins revert to a full-length statement of the theme. The orchestra ultimately spreads into diaphanous arpeggios, punctuated in the last measure by a strong chord. A "Wiener Walz" and "Chant" are omitted in this performance. Benjamin Britten was only twelve years old when he began to study with Frank Bridge, his fellow English composer, who remained his life-long friend.* Mr. Britten attended the Royal College of Music of * Frank Bridge conducted his own orchestral suite "The Sea" at the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, October 26, 1923.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons for Jane, on our thirty-fourth Accents of Remorse The good has never been perfect. There is always some flaw in it, some defect. First Sightings For all the attention paid to the “interview” scene in Benjamin Britten’s opera Billy Budd, its musical depths have proved remarkably resistant to analysis and have remained unplumbed. This striking passage of thirty-four whole-note chords has probably attracted more comment than any other in the opera since Andrew Porter first spotted shortly after the 1951 premiere that all the chords harmonize members of the F major triad, leading to much discussion over whether or not the passage is “in F major.” 1 Beyond Porter’s perception, the structure was far from obvious, perhaps in some way unprecedented, and has remained mysterious. Indeed, it is the undisputed gnomic power of its strangeness that attracted (and still attracts) most comment. Arnold Whittall has shown that no functional harmonic or contrapuntal explanation of the passage is satisfactory, and proceeded from there to make the interesting assertion that that was the point: The “creative indecision”2 that characterizes the music of the opera was meant to confront the listener with the same sort of difficulty as the layers of irony in Herman Melville’s “inside narrative,” on which the opera is based. To quote a single sentence of the original story that itself contains several layers of ironic ambiguity, a sentence thought by some—I believe mistakenly—to say that Vere felt no remorse: 1.

  • Britten's Acoustic Miracles in Noye's Fludde and Curlew River
    Britten’s Acoustic Miracles in Noye’s Fludde and Curlew River A thesis submitted by Cole D. Swanson In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music TUFTS UNIVERSITY May 2017 Advisor: Alessandra Campana Readers: Joseph Auner Philip Rupprecht ii ABSTRACT Benjamin Britten sought to engage the English musical public through the creation of new theatrical genres that renewed, rather than simply reused, historical frameworks and religious gestures. I argue that Britten’s process in creating these genres and their representative works denotes an operation of theatrical and musical “re-enchantment,” returning spiritual and aesthetic resonance to the cultural relics of a shared British heritage. My study focuses particularly on how this process of renewal further enabled Britten to engage with the state of amateur and communal music participation in post-war England. His new, genre-bending works that I engage with represent conscious attempts to provide greater opportunities for amateur performance, as well cultivating sonically and thematically inclusive sound worlds. As such, Noye’s Fludde (1958) was designed as a means to revive the musical past while immersing the Aldeburgh Festival community in present musical performance through Anglican hymn singing. Curlew River (1964) stages a cultural encounter between the medieval past and the Japanese Nō theatre tradition, creating an atmosphere of sensory ritual that encourages sustained and empathetic listening. To explore these genre-bending works, this thesis considers how these musical and theatrical gestures to the past are reactions to the post-war revivalist environment as well as expressions of Britten’s own musical ethics and frustrations.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.
