A work for Soprano Woodwind 2 Horns and Strings.Duration: circa 15 minutesProgramme 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 thatlastès 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?.

lyric coloratura. The OperAria repertoire collection for all voice genres that was successfully launched last year has produced lyrical soprano progeny: From Adele to Zerbinetta, from Pamina to Mimi and Ellen Orford - the first two (of altogether four) soprano volumes contain a representative sampling of important arias from the multifaceted lyrical repertoire. Classical audition arias can be found there, just as vocal gems from opera rarities and arias of classical modernity, each one obviously reliably and carefully edited. Accessorizing one's own lyrical voice, the singer will find a wealth of material such as: information on the composer, the librettist, the work, the vocal range, on questions concerning versions and scoring as well as on the storyline, along with instructive tips from a singer's viewpoint provided by experienced voice teachers and a Phonetics Text Assistant on CD-ROM with diverse possibilities of use. OperAria is the ideal vocal coach for all voice types. Edited by Peter Anton Ling, the books address all singers and are conceived above all for training and auditions. In addition, through their careful selection, they offer valuable inspiration for opera recitals. / Date parution : 2019-09-06/ Recueil / Soprano Colorature
