This cantata was written for Epiphany on Sunday, January 6, 1724. The lavish and differentiated scoring for the works on the high feast days is immediately apparent: BWV 63 is Bach's biggest Scholarship Concert Weimar score, the Magnificat is his heretofore biggest Leipzig score and the only five-voiced Don't miss this opportunity to hear the renowned Chapman University Choir and concerted piece before the Mass in B minor, and the cantatas BWV 40, 190, and 65 are carefully scaled. Soloists join forces with the Chapman Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Benjamin Britten's Cantata Academica and Maurice Durufl6's Requiem From the opening short sinfonia of horns, flutes (recorders) oboes and strings, one hears a grave and deliberate character that is almost dance-like when it finally introduces the chorus. This is followed by a short chorale which is quite uncharacteristic of Bach to present a congregational hymn so early in the Cantata Academica Be Britten work. William D. Hall, Conductor It would almost seem as though he on his part had wished to insist on the feeling of the Epistle in the Requiem Mass M: Durufle cantata, though it had to be performed at morning service. But the beginning-chorus on the last verse of Alumnus of the Year, Jonathan Talberg '91, Conductor the Epistle with a chorale immediat~ly following is oflofty and peculiar beauty. Featuring the Chapman Symphony Orchestra, This cantata is scored only for tenor and bass solos (both are magnificent) and closes with a University Choir and Soloists congregational favorite Was mein gott will, gescheh' all zeit (If now, 0 Lord, it pleases thee). 1.

  • 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.

Listen, hear the silver bells! Silver bells! Hear the sledges with the bells, How they charm our weary senses with a sweetness that compels, In the ringing and the singing that of deep oblivion tells. Hear them calling, calling, calling, Rippling sounds of laughter, falling On the icy midnight air; And a promise they declare, That beyond Illusion’s cumber, Births and lives beyond all number, Waits an universal slumber—deep and sweet past all compare. Hear the sledges with the bells, Hear the silver-throated bells; See, the stars bow down to hearken, what their melody foretells, With a passion that compels, And their dreaming is a gleaming that a perfumed air exhales, And their thoughts are but a shining, And a luminous divining Of the singing and the ringing, that a dreamless peace foretells. II. Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of tender passion their melodious voice foretells! Through the night their sound entrances, Like a lover’s yearning glances, That arise On a wave of tuneful rapture to the moon within the skies. From the sounding cells upwinging Flash the tones of joyous singing Rising, falling, brightly calling; from a thousand happy throats Roll the glowing, golden notes, And an amber twilight gloats While the tender vow is whispered that great happiness foretells, To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells, the golden bells!
