Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. chorus parts. This work is a different as chalk from cheese from the Cantata academica. Here is a searingly beautiful work which presses all Britten's sympathetic buttons. It was composed for the centenary of the Red Cross and first performed in Geneva on 1 September 1963 conducted by Ernest Ansermet. Britten worked with his librettist, Patrick Wilkinson, to create a dramatic scena around the parable of the Good Samaritan. How appropriate this was for the organisation whose work it was intended to celebrate. Wilkinson set it in Latin, giving the Cantata a timeless sense of the universality of the message the parable conveys. Britten's scoring further emphasises the intimacy of the work which has echoes of Saint Nicolas and the Ceremony of Carols in its use of the harp and piano. The separate string quartet, however, is the truly personal touch giving that powerful sense of looking in on a private conversation. The quartet begins the work with a contrapuntal figure which returns at key moments as a refrain or as a joining passage marking the arrival of a new potential source of help to the wounded man, and again at the end. This is a work which barely raises its voice. The emphasis is on compassion and not on the violence done to the traveller who was so badly injured and so callously ignored by the priest and the Levite who passed by. This Cantata immediately followed the composition of the War Requiem, and Owen's pity and waste of war is at the heart of this new work which could have painted a very different picture of righteous indignation or the fighting which would leave the traveller broken by the wayside. The end of the work also has strong resonance with the War Requiem when the Samaritan has taken the traveller to recover in a local inn and says. 'sleep now, my friend, sleep. forget your injuries. ' Britten has achieved a remarkable effect in this work. It leaves an indelible impression on its listeners and, like all stories designed to demonstrate a moral, sends one away intent on being a better person. The choral parts of the Cantata misericordium are quite challenging, though not in the league of Sacred and Profane or A Boy was Born. What is essential in performing this work ,however, is that the choral parts should be so well sung that the gentle nature of the work is not disturbed by obviously problematic passages for choir. The whole concentration should be on the message, as Britten intended. It is the moral of the tale and not its means of communication which is paramount. Duration. 20 minutes.

Šis darbs ir atšķirīgs, jo krītu no siera, no kantāte Academica. Šeit ir searingly skaists darbs, kas nospiež visu Britten ir simpātisks pogas. Tā sastāvā bija par simtgades Sarkanā Krusta un pirmo reizi veikta Ženēvā 1 septembris 1963 Ernest Ansermet veica. Britten strādāja ar viņa libretists, Patrick Wilkinson, lai radītu dramatisku Scena ap līdzību par žēlsirdīgo samarieti. Cik lietderīgi tas bija par organizāciju, kuru darbs tas bija paredzēts, lai atzīmētu. Wilkinson noteikt to latīņu valodā, dodot kantāte mūžīgas sajūtu universāluma ziņojuma līdzībā rada. Britten ir vērtēšanas turklāt uzsver, ka intimitāte darbu, kas ir par Saint Nicolas atbalsis un ceremonija dziesmas tās izmantošanu Grenlandes un klavierēm. Atsevišķa stīgu kvartets, tomēr ir patiesi personisku pieskārienu piešķir šim spēcīgu sajūtu meklē uz privātā sarunā. Kvartets sāk darbu ar contrapuntal skaitli, kas atgriežas pie galvenajiem momentiem kā atturēties vai kā savieno eju atzīmējot ierašanās jaunā potenciālo avotu palīdzību ievainotajiem cilvēks, un atkal beigās. Tas ir darbs, kas tikko rada savu balsi. Uzsvars tiek likts uz līdzcietību, nevis uz vardarbību darīts, lai ceļotājs, kas bija tik slikti ievainoti un tā callously ignorē priesteris un levīts, kurš garām. Šis kantāte nekavējoties sekoja kara Rekviēms sastāvu, un Owen žēl un atkritumu kara pamatā ir šīs jaunās darbu, kas varētu būt uzkrāsoti ļoti atšķirīgu ainu par taisno sašutumu vai kaujas, kas atstās ceļotājs sadalīti ceļmalā. Darba beigas ir arī spēcīga rezonanse ar kara Rekviēms kad samarietis ir veikusi ceļotājam, lai atgūtu vietējā kroga un saka:. "Gulēt tagad, mans draugs, miega. aizmirst traumas. "Britten ir sasniegusi ievērojamu ietekmi šajā darbā. Tas atstāj neizdzēšamu iespaidu uz saviem klausītājiem, un, tāpat kā visi stāsti, kas paredzēti, lai pierādītu morālo, sūta vienu prom nodoms ir labāks cilvēks. Koru daļas kantāte misericordium ir diezgan grūti, bet ne līgas Sacred un zaimojošu vai zēns ir dzimis. What is essential in performing this work ,however, is that the choral parts should be so well sung that the gentle nature of the work is not disturbed by obviously problematic passages for choir. Visa koncentrācijai jābūt uz ziņu, kā Britten paredzēts. Tas ir morāles pasakas un nevis tās saziņas līdzekļus, kas ir pats svarīgākais. Ilgums. 20 minūtes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
