♫ ───────────────────────────────────────

This week we will be hearing large amateur choirs, rather than cathedral or college choirs, and similar small ensembles.

To begin with, here is the Gondwana Chorale, from Australia.

The Chorale is open to singers aged 17-25.

This is just one of the choirs trained during a 2-week course at the National Choral School.
William Byrd (1539/40-1623)    (4m19)
Ave Verum Corpus

performed by the Gondwana Chorale for 17-25 year olds of the National Choral School, in the Verbrugghen Hall, Conservatorium of Music, Sydney, Australia




After first inviting TS Eliot to consider writing a libretto, Michael Tippett wrote both the text and the music for his secular oratorio A Child of our Time.

TS Eliot said the power of his writing would likely detract from that of Tippett's music. There would be some inbalance.

The overall work was written as a pacifist's response to events in Nazi Germany, the shooting of a German diplomat by a Jewish refugee, and the community punishment of the Kristallnacht that followed it.

We hear the five spiritual arrangements.
Sir Michael Kemp Tippett (1905-1998)    (14m21)
Five Spirituals from A Child of Our Time (1939-1941)
Steal Away
Nobody Knows the Trouble I See
Go Down, Moses (A Spiritual of Anger)
O by and by
Deep River

performed by the Chœur de Radio France, with soloists from the choir, conducted by Sofi Jeannin, recorded in the Auditorium, Maison de la Radio, Paris


You would expect a group of music teachers to sing reasonably well, even if they only meet occasionally.

A roomful of people who normally lead the singing, though? I suspect 'together' is the tricky word here. Still, they do manage it in this next set.

Mátyás Seiber was a Hungarian born British composer, and after a lot of searching I can offer you the texts, although be aware that the Butcher returns.

The Handsome Butcher

Seven locks upon the red gate,
Seven gates about the red town.
In the town there lives a butcher
And his name is Handsome John Brown.
In the town there lives a butcher
And his name is Handsome John Brown.

John Browns's boots are polished so fine,
John Brown's spurs they jingle and shine.
On his coat a crimson flower,
In his hand a glass of red wine.
On his coat a crimson flower,
In his hand a glass of red wine.

In the night. the golden spurs ring,
In the dark, the leather boots shine.
Don't come tapping at the window,
Now your heart no longer is mine.
Don't come tapping at the window,
Now your heart no longer is mine.

Apple, Apple


By a river there's a little orchard
In the orchard stood the miller's daughter
In the orchard stood the miller's daughter

Apple apple fallen in the water
By the stream I kissed the miller's daughter
By the stream I kissed the miller's daughter

The miller's daughter

The Old Woman

In the window out the front door,
Throw old nanny from the top floor,
Pack her head into a basket,
Let her sell it in the market.

Come on children welcome each one,
At our party we'll have good fun.
Drink and eat and roister all day,
Farmer Johnny's bullock will pay.

For a coachman we've a black dog,
For a footman we've a roast hog,
On his back a loaf of white bread,
And a bottle on his big head.
Mátyás György Seiber (1905-1960)    (3m10)
Three Hugarian Folk Songs (1949)
The Handsome Butcher
Apple, apple
The Old Woman

performed by
2016 Plano Texas Kodály Teacher Training Program Choir, at Southern Methodist University, at Plano, with Laszló Durányik, conductor, and Michael Chandler, accompanist

Following the success of Only Men Aloud, in May 2010 Tim Rhys-Evans went on to found a Cardiff-based choir, Only Boys Aloud.

He had noticed the increasing average age of traditional Welsh choirs, with their mining and industrial backgrounds. With the loss of industry the areas from which these choirs came were even more under-privileged than previously. Could he bring back that feeling of community that comes with regular singing together?

Skipping lots of individual successes in between, we come to the present day when there are 14 local Only Boys Aloud choirs all across Wales, from Holyhead to Cardiff.

There is also a national Only Kids Aloud choir for 9-11 year olds. The Boys and Kids choirs have no auditions, and they do not charge their participants. They have the support of the country's two largest financial institutions, the Principality Building Society for Only Boys Aloud, and the Hodge Foundation for Only Kids Aloud.

For three summer nights in 2013 Only Boys Aloud had the joy and privilege of singing, with Katherine Jenkins, for the 60th Anniversary of the Queen's Coronation. Traditionalists may baulk at the rhythmic changes here, but remember, this is principally about getting today's teen boys singing together, offering them horizons to which troubled towns and villages in the Valleys may no longer aspire:
Only Boys Aloud    (8m18)
with
Katherine Jenkins



This shaky video would not normally make it into our concerts, but there is so much going on here. Set aside the lad wandering, lost, with his trombone in its case, the lady who strolls in behind the choir with her tuba, and the occasional glimpse of a bassoon on the right.

The average age here demonstrates the value of what Tim Rhys-Evans is doing with Only Boys Aloud (even though this is across the Bristol Channel from Wales.)

We are hearing the Marazion Apollo Male Voice Choir from Cornwall. They are in Grass Valley, Nevada City for the 15th Gathering of Cornish Cousins. Cornish connections here go back to the days of gold mining which must have seemed more promising than the declining tin mines of Cornwall.
Harry Glasson (b1951)    (2m50)
Cornwall

performed by Marazion Apollo Male Voice Choir, at the 2009 Picnic & Pops Concert Series, in Pioneer Park, as guests of the Nevada County Concert Band

Who is Harry Glasson ? - born 1951, Cowscramp Clowance nr Praze an Beeble.

Harry joined the Merchant Navy the day after his 16th birthday and started writing poems and Cornish dialect verse whilst at sea. This quickly progressed to putting the words to music on a guitar Harry had built in the school woodwork shop.

Harry gigged around Cornwall for over 30 years. He toured the USA several times between 1998 & 2008, building up a legion of fans all over the world. In July 2009, Harry was diagnosed with cancer of the vocal chords, which resulted in his chords being removed.

Harry will still occasionally get up and play a few songs on his guitar and sing with the aid of a valve inserted into a hole in his neck. Nowadays Harry can be found out in the countryside, often near water, with his new love - photography https://www.facebook.com/harry.glasson

His music will live on in choirs and informal pub singing across Cornwall, and away 'beyond the Western Waters'.


For this week's history spot (you didn't know we had a history spot? Don't worry. It won't be a regular feature) we turn to Movietone News who have followed the Huddersfield Choral Society and Sir Malcolm Sargent to Vienna.

This must have seemed quite exotic international travel in 1958.

I have had to wade through a lot of excerpts from Messiah while preparing this concert. Huddersfield are famous for it, and it is just a snippet or two.
Georg Frideric Handel     (1m19)
Messiah (extracts)

performed by the Huddersfield Choral Society, recorded by British Movietone during their rehearsal for two concerts, under Sir Malcolm Sargent, in Vienna, Austria, 1958


Here is a pair of famous choirs, the Royal Choral Society and the Royal Philharmonic Chorus, with an item from a concert called East Meets West. If you close your eyes you might feel it is like one of those large groups of Chinese people singing that we occasionally hear in documentaries.

Of course, if you are Chinese, you will likely notice poor pronunciation, so please bear with the rest of us as we listen to Moo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower), an 18th century traditional folk song.


Chinese Traditional Folk (18th century)
Moo Li Hua    Jasmine Flower
    (5m15)

performed by the Royal Philharmonic Chorus and the Royal Choral Society, in the Royal Albert Hall


Although the words were on screen during that recording, you might like to read them in full, first a literal translation:

What a beautiful jasmine flower
What a beautiful jasmine flower
Sweet-smelling, beautiful, stems full of buds
Fragrant and white, everyone praises
Let me pluck you down
Give to someone's family
Jasmine flower, oh jasmine flower

Poetic Translation:

Flower of jasmine, so fair!
Flower of jasmine, so fair!
Budding and blooming here and there,
Pure and fragrant all declare.
Let me take you with tender care,
Your sweetness for all to share.
Jasmine fair, oh jasmine fair.


Here is an arrangement of the same song by South Korean composer Hyo-Won Woo. She works in both Eastern and Western musical forms. The singers are the World Youth Choir:
Chinese Traditional Folk (18th century)
arranged by Hyo-Won Woo (b1974, S Korea)
Moo Li Hua    Jasmine Flower
    (4m27)

performed by the World Youth Choir, with Dr Hak Won Yoon (of South Korea), conductor, and Shammel Xiaomiao Luo (of China), solo soprano, in Guangzhou (Canton), China

The complete concert from which this excerpt comes is available on:

Let's stay with that younger age group singing. If I say football supporters you'll think of a particular size of crowd singing together. Don't ask me how they know what to shout and sing and when, there are whole social psychology projects devoted to that subject.

At the other end of the scale are Glee Clubs of, say, 8 to 20 singers?

So if we put the two concepts together? Here is the Harvard Football Medley, sung at the annual Harvard-Yale Football Concert! Imagine that, an annual Oxford-Cambridge Rowing Concert, let alone an annual Spurs-West Brom Football Concert!
various composers & lyricists
Harvard Football Medley   (6m30)

performed at the 2014 Harvard-Yale Football Concert, in the Sanders Theatre, of Harvard University, part of the 1878 Memorial Hall Building, Cambridge, Massachusetts

The Memorial Hall commemorates Harvard men who were lost in the American Civil War.

The architects, themselves Harvard alumni, looked to Wren's Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford for their inspiration.

The hyphen in the name of the concert has a real meaning. Each University's Glee Club, Chamber Choir, and alumni of these, present their own section of the concert. That is why there are so many mature heads among the singers. This concert takes place at the host university, on the evening before the big match.

The concert finishes with the singers and alumni of both Universities on stage singing their college songs together - Bright College Days, and Fair Harvard.

If you'd like to see the words and music for the Novermber 2019 concert please click here.

That Spurs-West Brom Football Concert looks even less likely. Both sets of supporters on the same bill, in one venue, with their own supporters as audience... Let's move on.




The words of this next magnificent setting are what this concert has been about.

Let All the World in Every Corner Sing
:
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
from Five Mystical Songs (1906-1911)
5 Antiphon: Let All the World in Ev'ry Corner Sing   (4m07)


performed by Wimbledon Choral Society, Cardiff Polyphonic Choir, Orchestra Vitæ, with Neil Ferris, conductor, in Guildford Cathedral, March 2014



To bring our Choral Concert to a close I have chosen this gentle piece by Russian composer Pavel Chesnokov.

Let Thy Gentle Spirit

Based on the line from Psalm 143, verse 10:

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

The translation of the musical text runs:

Let thy good spirit lead me on a level path! 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov (1877-1944)
Duh Dvoj blagi    Let Thy Gentle Spirit 
   (2m29)

performed by Rensonans con Tutti, directed by Waldemar Galazka, at the 2018 Music in the Old Abbey Festival, at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Humility, Rudach (Rudy), near Katowice, Southern Poland


Encore

For this week's encore  item we remain in contemplative mood, and with a Russian composer.

What we call a basso profundo, in other countries is referred to as an oktavist - someone who sings the octave below (the basses).

On the final chord of this piece the oktavist sings an F which is one octave lower than the F under the bass clef. That is the 6th white note from the bass, or left, end of the piano.

Sopranos singing the F at the top of the treble clef are just four octaves away from him. [WARNING: Sopranos, Altos, Tenors: Do not try this at home.]


The All-Night Vigil of the Russian Orthodox Church opens with six texts from Vespers, continues with 8 texts from Matins, and finishes with The First Hour. The Vigil is used on the eves of Sundays and Holy Days.

Rachmaninoff's setting is considered the highest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church, although well before 1915 he had ceased attending services. Soon after, the Soviet Union came into being and religious music was condemned.

Feminist group Pussy Riot used this piece as the basis for their protest song Mother of God, Chase Putin away. There is a lot of blasphemy, bad language, and general ghastly unpleasantness in their song. I will let those who are interested do their own youtu.be research on that.
Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)
from Vsénoshchnoye bdéniye    All-Night Vigil  Op 37  (1915)
6 Bogoroditse Devo    Rejoice, O Virgin    (3m18)

performed by MDR Rundfunkchor, oktavist Yuri Vishnayakov, and Risto Joost, conductor


MDR stand for Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, Middle Germany Broadcasting, based in Leipzig. This choir was formed in 1924 and became the Radio Choir in 1946.

Extras

King's College Cambridge announce a revolutionary, costs-saving idea for choirs:

Here is the largest male voice choir in the world, 10,000 voices, assembled at the home of the Cardiff Arms Park Male Voice Choir

Assisted by: Richard Miller & Jane Forrester
