Two Part-Songs. I Lov'd a Lass & Lift Boy. 1932. SATB and Piano, Complete Edition. Composed by Benjamin Britten. 1913-1976. For Choral. SATB. BH Secular Choral. 24 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051481941. Published by Boosey & Hawkes. HL.48022504. ISBN 1480329908. 6.75x10.5 inches. Texts. George Wither. I Lov'd a Lass. and Robert Graves. Lift Boy. Publisher. Boosey & Hawkes. Difficulty level. These are two delightful and contrasted part-songs for choir and piano which ought to be a gift to choirs looking for rare secular repertoire for their concert programmes. I lov'd a lass is full of fun, while the challenge lies in the regularly changing metre. The choir's first bar is in 7. 8 and is followed by 5. 4 and then 3. Later on Britten gives us 3. 4, 7. 8, 11. 8, 4. 4, 5. 4, 7. 8, 4. 4 in successive bars but this all adds to the entertainment. There are lots of portamenti too in what adds up to a passionate little piece. Lift Boy sets a nonsense poem by Robert Graves about a boy who starts life as a knife-boy, moves on to become a lift boy and then a lift man. Preached damnation by 'Old Eagle' one day, he cuts the lift cables and down they all go. But Graves ends by saying. 'Can a phonograph lie. A song very neatly contriv'd to make you and me laugh'. Curious indeed. But Britten obviously sees the humour in it with a busy piano part accompanying straightforward choral passages which have nothing of the complexity of metre of the previous song. The message of damnation is delivered in suitably solemn tones before the piece dances off to its laughing ending. Duration. 5 minutes total. Lass2. Lift3. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.

Grado de dificultad. These are two delightful and contrasted part-songs for choir and piano which ought to be a gift to choirs looking for rare secular repertoire for their concert programmes. Me lov'd una muchacha está lleno de diversión, mientras que el desafío consiste en que el medidor cambia regularmente. The choir's first bar is in 7. 8 y es seguido por 5. 4 y luego 3. Posteriormente Britten nos da 3. 4, 7. 8, 11. 8, 4. 4, 5. 4, 7. 8, 4. 4 en bares sucesivas pero todo esto se suma a la diversión. Hay un montón de portamenti demasiado en lo que se suma a un pequeño pedazo apasionado. Ascensor Boy establece un poema sin sentido por Robert Graves sobre un niño que comienza la vida como un cuchillo-boy, pasa a convertirse en un niño ascensor y entonces un hombre de elevación. Predicó la condenación por 'Old Eagle', un día, él corta los cables de elevación y hacia abajo todos se van. Pero Graves termina diciendo. '¿Puede una mentira fonógrafo. Una canción muy prolijamente contriv'd hacer tú y yo reír '. Curioso hecho. Pero Britten obviamente considera el humor en ella con una parte de piano ocupado acompañando pasajes corales sencillas que no tienen nada de la complejidad de metro de la canción anterior. El mensaje de condenación se entrega en tonos solemnes adecuadamente antes de la pieza baila fuera de su finalización riendo. Duración. 5 minutes total. Lass2. Lift3. Paul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
