Oorspronklik

What Sweeter Musick composed by William Bradley Roberts. For SATB choir, Organ. Choral, Christmas. Medium. Choral octavo. Published by Paraclete Press. PL.8903. Robert Herrick's delightful Christmas poem is a gem which has unaccountably escaped wider notice by composers. This light and tuneful setting makes use of unison sections for SA and TB, and the full sections are effective without being difficult. The organ accompaniment features solo lines over ostinato figures to good effect, again without difficulty. This is a magnificent Christmas anthem from the heart of Bill Roberts, set for mezzo-soprano solo and four-part chorus. His sensitivity to this beautiful text is the work of a real artist. Although there is some unison singing, the choral parts would take serious work to refine the rhythm of the text and the hauntingly beautiful harmony. I pull this piece out each Christmas, even when my choir doesn't sing it, because I love it so. it is a work of incredible beauty. - Marilyn Keiser "AAM Journal" April 2005. While there are several wonderful settings of Robert Herrick's beautiful Christmas poem, "What Sweeter Musick", Bill has given us another setting that far excels many of the others. The composer approaches the poem in a sensitive and almost mystical manner. - Dr. Donald R. Cox "AAM Journal" April 2005.

Vertaling

Wat Soeter Musick saamgestel deur William Bradley Roberts. Vir SATB koor, orrel. Choral, Kersfees. Medium. Choral octavo. Gepubliseer deur Parakleet Press. PL.8903. Robert Herrick se pragtige Kersfees gedig is 'n juweel wat unaccountably wyer kennis ontsnap deur komponiste. Hierdie lig en goed in die gehoor instelling maak gebruik van harmonie afdelings vir SA en TB, en die volle artikels is effektief sonder om moeilike. Die orrel begeleiding funksies solo lyne oor ostinato figure te goeie effek, weer sonder probleme. Dit is 'n wonderlike Kersfees volkslied uit die hart van Bill Roberts, wat vir mezzo-sopraan solo-en vierstemmige koor. Sy sensitiwiteit vir hierdie pragtige teks is die werk van 'n ware kunstenaar. Alhoewel daar 'n paar harmonie sing, sal die koor dele ernstige werk neem die ritme van die teks en die hauntingly mooi harmonie te verfyn. Ek trek hierdie stuk uit elke Kersfees, selfs wanneer my koor sing nie, want ek is lief vir dit so. dit is 'n werk van ongelooflike skoonheid. - Marilyn Keiser "AAM Journal" April 2005. Terwyl daar is 'n paar wonderlike instellings van Robert Herrick se pragtige Kersfees gedig, "Wat soeter Musick", Bill het ons 'n ander instelling wat ver blink baie van die ander. Die komponis benaderings die gedig in 'n sensitiewe en byna mistieke wyse. - Dr Donald R. Cox "AAM Journal" April 2005.
