  • Britten's Choral Music
    SLUG Benjamin Britten at Crag House c.1949: the seeming inevitability of his response to words is one of his hallmarks 22 CHOIR & ORGAN MARCH/APRIL 2013 www.choirandorgan.com C&O - March April - FEATURES - Reed Britten - Tweeked.indd 22 20/02/2013 18:10:43 BRITTEN’S CHORAL MUSIC Sacred and profane Whether writing a cappella church music or a major symphonic choral work, Benjamin Britten responded to texts with depth of insight. In the composer’s centenary year, Philip Reed argues that there is much still to discover in his choral canon he seeming inevitability of nal setting for eight-part chorus in a faux Britten’s response to words is one medieval style. It was first performed in Tof the hallmarks of his output. 1931 by the Lowestoft Choral Society Indeed, so idiomatic are his settings that (in which the composer’s mother sang), it remains difficult, when reading a text he along with his unaccompanied carol, The has set, for one’s mind’s ear not to conjure Sycamore Tree, a setting of a text related to up Britten’s music. This remains as true of the more familiar carol I saw three ships, his wide-ranging choral music as it does of which Britten did not publish (in a revised his numerous song-cycles and operas.

  • Benjamin Britten's Liturgical Music and Its Place in the Anglican
    Benjamin Britten’s liturgical music and its place in the Anglican Church Music Tradition By Timothy Miller Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music and Sound Recording School of Arts, Communication and Humanities University of Surrey August 2012 ©Timothy Miller 2012 ProQuest Number: 10074906 All rights reserved INFORMATION TO ALL USERS The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study presents a detailed analysis of the liturgical music of Benjamin Britten (1913- 1976). In addition to several pieces Britten wrote for the Anglican liturgy and one for the Roman Catholic Church, a number of other works, not originally composed for liturgical purpose, but which fonction well in a liturgical setting, are included, providing a substantial repertory which has hitherto received little critical commentary. Although not occupying a place of central importance in the composer’s musical output, it is argued that a detailed examination of this liturgical music is important to form a fuller understanding of Britten’s creative character; it casts additional light on the composer’s technical procedures (in particular his imaginative exploitation of tonal structure which embraced modality, free-tonality and twelve-tone ideas) and explores further Britten’s commitment to the idea of a composer serving society.

Its role in Christian theology and spirituality has a much longer history, but by the beginning of the twentieth century, its expressive potential had not been significantly recognized in liturgical choral music. This study examined the relationship between twentieth-century musical silence and the expression of silence as the ineffable in Anglican choral music (referred to as English cathedral music or ECM) of the middle of the twentieth century.

  • Reflections on and Around Britten's War Requiem at Yale Mervyn
    Reflections on and around Britten’s War Requiem at Yale Mervyn Cooke Adapted from the Tangeman Lecture delivered April 28, 2007 On 28 April 2007 a magnificent performance of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem was given in Woolsey Hall, New Haven, by the Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale under the conductor Shinik Hahm, with Sara Jakubiak, James Taylor, and Detlef Roth the soprano, tenor, and baritone soloists, the Yale Schola Cantorum, Yale Camerata, Yale Glee Club, Trinity Church Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs, and Elm City Girls’ Choir; the performance had been given by the same forces at Boston’s Symphony Hall on the previous day. Before the Yale concert it was my privilege to offer some thoughts on Britten’s work in the shape of the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s annual Tangeman Lecture. Our discussion focused not only on Britten’s economical and highly communicative musical idiom, but also on the various levels of irony presented by this multi-layered and thought-provoking score, which brings together – often in direct and disquieting collisions – vernacular settings of anti-war texts by the First World War poet Wilfred Owen (1893-1918), delivered in English by solo tenor and baritone voices with chamber-orchestral accompaniment, and the Latin Missa pro defunctis, declaimed by an operatic soprano soloist, large choir, and full orchestra; these together provide a more conventional backdrop sometimes reminiscent of the operatic style of Giuseppe Verdi. Britten’s work had been commissioned in the late 1950s to mark the consecration of the modern cathedral built at Coventry (in the British county of Warwickshire), the city’s old cathedral having been destroyed by German bombing in November 1940; his score was first performed in the new building, designed by the architect Basil Spence and poignantly erected alongside the ruins of the medieval building it replaced, on 30 May 1962.
