Oorspronklik

A work for Soprano, Woodwind, 2 Horns and Strings. Duration. circa 15 minutes. Programme Note. "This work was commissioned as a possible companion piece to Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate and the decision was quickly made to write something as a complete contrast. The poems chosen, one anonymous from the early 16th century, the other two by the famous Scottish poet William Dunbar. 1460. –1513. , describe the promise of salvation after life’s dark passage. Each of the three poems echo this thought. “In celum, ther is joy with Thee”, “A short torment for infinite gladness” and “Since erdly joy abides never, Work for the joy that lastès ever”. Thus in each poem the poet can overcome the fear of his inevitable death with the certainty of salvation. this work also has its ‘dark’ moments, but the overall mood is one of calmness and peace. As with the words there are several musical motives that link the three songs. The musical motive for the refrain “Terribilis mors conturbat me” in the first macaronic poem. also a salute to Mozart since the Exsultate is in Latin. returns a little higher and more despairingly in each verse until the last verse where it is played a whole octave higher. This motive reappears. played mostly by the oboes. in the last song but now the pitch of each repeat goes in reverse, that is, from high to low. The famous motive of the Gregorian chant Dies Irae. representing death. is used to accompany the prayer of the second song. A musical motive for the joy of Paradise appears in the second song “A free choice given to Paradise or Hell”. There is also a ubiquitous 3-note chordal cluster which is used to illustrate the words. sometimes as a colour, and sometimes as articulation. The bird of the last song “Thus sang ane bird with voice upplane” becomes several birds. oboes. singing in A major, but with a D sharp, thus the Lydian mode. However the refrain of this poem “All erdly joy returns in pane” is in F major. This alternation of F major. A major tonalities is a ‘structural’ feature which, is of course, heralded by Mozart in his “Exsultate Jubilate”. This work is thus written in homage to Mozart. - Thea Musgrave.

A werk vir sopraan, hout-, 2 Horings en Strings. Duur. ongeveer 15 minute. Program Nota. "Hierdie werk is in opdrag as 'n moontlike metgesel na Mozart se Exsultate Jubilate en die besluit is vinnig gemaak om iets as 'n volledige kontras te skryf. Die gekose gedigte, een anonieme uit die vroeë 16de eeu, het die ander twee deur die bekende Skotse digter William Dunbar. 1460. -1513. , Beskryf die belofte van verlossing na die lewe se donker gang. Elk van die drie gedigte eggo hierdie gedagte. "In celum wees, daar is vreugde by U", "'n kort foltering vir oneindige blydskap" en "Sedert erdly vreugde bly nooit, Werk vir die vreugde wat lastès ooit". So in elke gedig die digter kan die vrees van sy onvermydelike dood oorwin met die sekerheid van verlossing. hierdie werk het ook sy 'donker' oomblikke, maar die algemene stemming is een van kalmte en vrede. Soos met die woorde daar is verskeie musikale motiewe wat die drie liedjies skakel. Die musikale motief vir die refrein "Terribilis Mors conturbat my" in die eerste macaronisch gedig. ook 'n saluut aan Mozart sedert die Exsultate is in Latyns-. gee 'n bietjie hoër en meer wanhopig in elke vers tot die laaste vers waar dit gespeel word 'n hele oktaaf ​​hoër. Dit motief weer verskyn. gespeel meestal deur die hobo. in die laaste liedjie, maar nou is die plek van elke herhaling gaan in reverse, dit is, van hoog na laag. Die bekende motief van die gregoriaans Dies Irae. dood verteenwoordig. word gebruik om die gebed van die tweede liedjie te vergesel. 'N musikale motief vir die vreugde van die Paradys verskyn in die tweede liedjie "'n vrye keuse gegee om Paradise of die hel". Daar is ook 'n alomteenwoordige 3-noot akkoordbasis cluster wat gebruik word om die woorde te illustreer. soms as 'n kleur, en soms as artikulasie. Die voëls van die laaste liedjie "So sing ONO voël met die stem upplane" word verskeie voëls. hobo. sing in 'n groot, maar met 'n D skerp, dus die Lidiese modus. Maar die refrein van hierdie gedig "Alle erdly vreugde terug in paneel" is in F majeur. Dit afwisseling van F majeur. 'N Groot tonaliteit is 'n' strukturele 'n funksie wat is natuurlik, ingelui deur Mozart in sy "Exsultate Jubilate". Hierdie werk is dus geskryf in eerbetoon aan Mozart. - Thea Musgrave.
