Hawkes
Difficulty
level: 4 (for
chorus)
Britten's
genius lifts this work
above being just a worthy
celebration of the 500th
anniversary of the
foundation of Basle
University. It is
tongue-in-cheek and
mockingly non-academic
while referring all the
time to academic musical
forms and formulae. It is
written in two parts
(everything is in the
statutory Latin including
the titles of the parts -
Pars I and Pars II). The
titles of the movements
show Britten's intention
to show off a wide
variety of techniques.
Here are some examples:
Chorale/Alla Rovescio
(the theme is given and
responded to with the
same melody upside
down)/Recitativo/Tema
seriale con fuga/Canone
ed ostinato. There is a
good deal of humour
here.
There are
seven movements in Pars I
and six in Pars II. The
tenor soloist is given
three florid recitatives,
accompanied only by a
piano, which act as
bridges between other
orchestrally accompanied
movements. Of these the
most noteworthy are the
Arioso con canto popolare
for soprano solo with
tenors and basses who hum
a student song; another
terrific Britten scherzo;
and a wonderfully raucous
final pair of movements
(Canon ed ostinato and
Corale con canto) where
Britten seems to be aping
the Vivat Regina! cries
in Parry's I was glad or
encouraging the kind of
noisy 'I'm from the best
university' kind of
student touchline shout.
This has outrageously
high notes for the tenors
(top B) which further
endorse this feeling.
There are real echoes of
the Spring Symphony (see
separate entry) final
movement here which are
further underlined by the
last section of the
Cantata which brings in
the bells, piano, huge
percussion and the
inevitable chorale in
which the choir sings
'that a free academy may
thrive in a free
community, for ever the
ornament and treasure of
illustrious
Basle'.
This may
not be Britten at his
most soul-searching but,
as always, there is
plenty here to enjoy,
especially if the work is
not taken too seriously.
It is a celebratory,
occasional piece and it
could be well taken up by
other academic
establishments
celebrating big
anniversaries. The chorus
parts are not very
difficult, though they do
present challenges for
the choir - not least in
having tenors capable of
those very high notes at
the end. The Tema seriale
con fuga is sinewy and
needs careful tuning. It
also has the subject
regularly given upside
down after its initial
sounding by the basses.
All good
fun.

Dieterich.
Courage,
tolerance and
conciliation - this is
the message of a sweet
and sharp, thrilling love
story. Based loosely on
Shakespeare and his
famous tragedy Romeo and
Juliet, a prince, smitten
with love, and a
courageous baroness bring
foreign cultures and two
hostile families together
in a dramatic happy end.
Musically, Konig Keks
thrives on contrasts:
Whereas the music of
Krokantia borrows from
the world of operetta,
the music of the Chili
islands is fiery and
rhythmic. On the one
hand, a small salon
orchestra, and on the
other a band produce a
diversified sound. An
experienced pianst can
accompany a performance
of the piece alone. Konig
Keks offers ample musical
as well as scenic
performance possibilities
for people of all ages.

Nicola Francesco
Haym.
After Giulio
Cesare and Tamerlano ,
Rodelinda is the third
masterly opera that
Handel composed between
December 1723 and January
1725. The words were
written by Nicola Haym ,
the author of many other
Handel librettos. The
first performance took
place at the
King’s Theatre in
the Haymarket, London ,
on 13 February 1725.
Rodelinda thrives
entirely on the ethical
supremacy of conjugal
love, and thus prefigures
the great operas by Gluck
and Beethoven on the same
subject. The plot is
taken from the history of
the Lombard royalty.
Oskar Hagen’s
revival of Rodelinda in
1920 ushered in the
modern Handel opera
movement.
The
work forms the climax to
a series of dramatic
masterpieces that
includes Handel’s
most significant
operas. Handel
returned to Rodelinda on
two occasions, in
December 1725 and in May
1731. Many far-reaching
changes were necessary
owing to the different
skills of the new
singers. For example,
Handel wrote three new
arias and a duet for the
first revival. Yet the
changes he made for this
performance, doubtless to
accommodate the needs and
wishes of the singers,
also improve the
work’s dramatic
substance.
Our
vocal score is based on
the Urtext of the full
score published in the
Halle Handel Edition
(II/16) and reproduces
the various alternative
readings and versions in
an appendix.

The
Hungarian composer Istvan
Szelenyi (1904-1972)
studied composition with
Zoltan Kodaly and later
taught at the
Conservatoire of
Budapest. He wrote
primarily chamber and
piano music. His hitherto
unpublished Sonata for
oboe and piano was
written in 1969 and
constitutes an important
contribution to the
rather small 20th-century
oboe repertoire. The
one-movement sonata is
composed in free tonality
and thrives on charming
rhythmic turns borrowed
from Hungarian folk
music.
