Friday Afternoons. of mainly unison songs for young voices is a gift for a concert of music for upper voices. It is a substantial work taken as a whole but its individual movements are both short and straightforward in their various challenges. Britten wrote the work for the boys of his brothers preparatory school. age 7-13. , Clive House, Prestatyn, in Wales to sing. However he encountered a problem with copyright over the use of the Lone Dog. He therefore wrote Begone, dull care to replace it. When these issues were resolved years later the song was included as an appendix item in the 1994 edition. The real beauty of these songs is that Britten never writes down for the children. These are art songs in the best sense of the word and mix both dark and light humour with seriousness and romance to create a little world of changing scenes and emotions. The texts are, as always, carefully chosen to give Britten maximum variety of mood and to challenge and encourage the children's interest and involvement. The piano parts carry a lot of the responsibility for the creation of mood and atmosphere and ideally need a pianist of reasonable accomplishment to do them justice. In There was a monkey Britten writes an increasingly challenging part which is very effective in making the charged mood rise to its climax. However, he writes an easier alternative part which can be played if the pianist finds the other too difficult. The mixture of texts gives Britten wonderful opportunities for word painting. The lively Begone, dull care which opens the work, the nonsense poem of A tragic story where a man wants his pigtail to hang in front so he can see it, the gentle story of the Cuckoo and his progress through the months of the year, the rather sobering story. especially in our post-fox hunting ban days. of the shooting of a fox by a farmer whose geese it has killed, the sublime A New Year's Carol - and so on, leading to the powerful four part canon of Old Abram Brown. These little pieces demonstrate so clearly Brittens genius - his ability to write really good music which is so recognisably his - without any feeling that he is making compromises for the young singers. Duration. 23 minutes. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Vrydagmiddag. hoofsaaklik harmonie liedjies vir jong stemme is 'n geskenk vir 'n konsert van musiek vir die boonste stemme. Dit is 'n aansienlike werk as 'n geheel, maar sy individuele bewegings is beide kort en eenvoudig in hul onderskeie uitdagings. Britten het die werk vir die seuns van sy broers voorbereidende skool. ouderdom 7-13. , Clive House, Prestatyn, in Wallis te sing. Hy het egter 'n probleem met die kopiereg oor die gebruik van die Lone Dog teëgekom het. Hy het dus Weg, dowwe sorg geskryf om dit te vervang. Wanneer hierdie kwessies jaar later besluit om die liedjie is ingesluit as 'n bylaag item in die 1994-uitgawe. Die ware skoonheid van hierdie liedere is dat Britten skryf nooit af vir die kinders. Dit is liedere in die beste sin van die woord en meng beide lig en donker humor met erns en romanse n bietjie wêreld van veranderende tonele en emosies te skep. Die tekste is, soos altyd, noukeurig gekies te gee Britten maksimum verskeidenheid van stemming en uit te daag en aan te moedig om die kinders se belangstelling en betrokkenheid. Die klavier dele dra 'n groot deel van die verantwoordelikheid vir die skepping van die stemming en atmosfeer en ideaal moet 'n pianis van redelike prestasie om dit te doen geregtigheid. In Daar was 'n aap Britten skryf 'n toenemend uitdagende deel wat baie effektief in die maak van die gelaaide atmosfeer lei tot die klimaks. Maar, skryf hy 'n makliker alternatief deel wat gespeel kan word indien die pianis vind die ander te moeilik. Die mengsel van tekste gee Britten wonderlike geleenthede vir woord skildery. Die lewendige Weg, dowwe sorg wat die werk oopmaak, die nonsens gedig van 'n tragiese verhaal waar 'n man wil sy pigtail op te hang in die voorkant, sodat hy dit kan sien, die sagte verhaal van die Koekoek en sy vordering deur middel van die maande van die jaar, die eerder ontnugtering storie. veral in ons post-jakkals jag verbod dae. van die skiet van 'n jakkals deur 'n boer wie se ganse het dit doodgemaak het, die verhewe 'n Nuwe Jaar se Carol - en so aan, wat lei tot die kragtige vier deel kanon van die Ou Abram Brown. Hierdie klein stukkies demonstreer sodat Brittens geniale duidelik - sy vermoë om regtig goeie musiek wat so herkenbaar te skryf sy - sonder enige gevoel dat hy om kompromieë vir die jong sangers. Duur. 23 minute. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
