At the request of violin pedagogue Pavel Vernikov, Igudesman and Joo have composed performance pieces for the Feast of Duos competition held in August 2014. The two commposer/performers insisted that, along with standard repertoire, all entrants also perform a work that included specific elements: theatricality, spoken word, choreography, improvisation, and humor (i.e.: any Igudesman & Joo concert). This set includes two full performance pieces, including dancing while playing, singing while playing, playing the piano with...well...playing the piano posteriorially, and more, As Far As You Can (by Igudesman) and Beyond the Limit? (by Joo). See an excellent YouTube compilation video of various duos performing Beyond the LImit? at competition.

English. Text source: Traditional.

There is a long-standing tradition of creating developed choral arrangements of simple spirituals. Hardly a high school, college, or church choir exists that doesn't include examples within their repertoire. Which all leads us to say that this compilation is worth a place among the best of them. Great choral writing with a piano part that is equally challenging and rewarding. .

Text: in Latin compiled from the charter of the University, and from older orations in praise of Basle by Bernhard Wyss.

Publisher: Boosey & 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.
