Oorspronklik

House Of Winter is a setting of four Christmas poems by George Mackay Brown, for AATBBB or SATBBB a cappella choir. The music is continuous, and though scored for unaccompanied voices, it becomes almost orchestra in its evocation of the calm, frozen stillness of an Orkney winter on the one hand, and the wildness of a December storm on the other. The setting is largely homphonic, in Davies’s 'adult' modal style and with a characteristic inventiveness of vocal scoring, as in the storm sequence, with its whistling upper voices and eruptive bass line. The first performance took place during the tenth St. Magnus Festival as part of a concert given by The King's Singers in Kirkwall in June 1986. Vocal score with piano accompaniment for rehearsal purposes.

Vertaling

Huis van die winter is 'n stel van vier Kersfees gedigte deur George Mackay Brown, vir AATBBB of SATBBB koor a cappella. Die musiek is deurlopende, en al behaal vir onbegeleide stemme, word dit byna orkes in sy verwysing na die kalm, bevrore stilte van 'n Orkney winter aan die een kant, en oor die wildernis van 'n Desember storm op die ander. Die instelling is grootliks homphonic, in Davies se 'volwasse' modale styl en met 'n kenmerkende vindingrykheid van vokale scoring, soos in die storm ry, met sy fluit boonste stemme en eruptiewe baslyn. Die eerste optrede plaasgevind het tydens die tiende St Magnus Festival as deel van 'n konsert deur die King's Singers in Kirk Wall in Junie 1986. Vokale telling met klavierbegeleiding vir oefen doeleindes.
