Judith Weir: I Love All Beauteous Things

Judith Weir: I Love All Beauteous Things

Celebrate HM The Queen's 90th Birthday with your choir Sing Judith Weir’s special new choral piece I Love All Beauteous Things Master of the Queen’s Music, Judith Weir , has been commissioned by St Paul’s Cathedral in London to write a piece for SATB choir and organ in celebration of HM The Queen’s 90th birthday in 2016. The piece is now available from Chester Music, so that choirs all over the world can join in with the festivities. Churches and other local organisations are planning events on Sunday 12th June and many may want to include this approachable setting of Robert Bridges’ poem. Directed by Andrew Carwood, the St Paul’s Cathedral Choir will perform I love all beauteous things as part of the National Service of Thanksgiving which will take place on at 11am on 10 June in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. At the service the Archbishop of Canterbury will give the address and the Prime Minister will read a lesson. The event will be televised live on BBC1. Judith Weir comments: "It is a particular honour to contribute new music for this great occasion, and a pleasure to write a choral version of Robert Bridges’ beautiful verse." Preview the score here Download the digital sheet music here COMPOSER’S NOTE At the suggestion of Michael Hampel, Precentor of St Paul’s Cathedral, I have set words by Robert Bridges, who was Poet Laureate from 1913–1930. Bridges was an outstanding humanitarian and writer, whose poetry has inspired me before in The Voice of Desire, a song-cycle for mezzo-soprano and piano. This short, fast-tempo setting aims to emulate the swift, fleet-footed rhyme and metre of the two-verse poem, with its unobtrusive but telling reference to ‘man in his hasty days’. J.W. Commissioned by the Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 90th birthday of HM The Queen, generously supported by the Boltini Trust.Performed at the National Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen’s birthday at St Paul’s Cathedral, London, on Friday 10th June 2016in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Music by Judith Weir, Master of the Queen’s Music, words by Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate in the year HM The Queen was born. Duration c. 3½ minutes I LOVE ALL BEAUTEOUS THINGS words by Robert Bridges OM (1844–1930) Poet Laureate 1913–30 I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honoured for them. I too will something make And joy in the making; Altho’ to-morrow it seem Like the empty words of a dream Remembered on waking. (I love all beauteous things, etc…)

John Tavener: The Fool (Chorus Part)

John Tavener: The Fool (Chorus Part)

Composer's notes:The Fool is a time-honoured Orthodox religious figure: a Saint, the highest of all, who discards everything for Christ's sake. He discards all convention, all decency, all wealth, actual and spiritual, and turns himself into a figure of fun - defying all acceptable behaviour - and all religious decency. He stands in the square and lets down his trousers - he stuffs himself with food on Good Friday - he gets drunk - he "appears" to fornicate wildly. There is a faint possibility (in not the highest of 'Fools') of gaining worldly popularity by such flagrant denial of all moral behaviour. Can such behaviour be too interesting? The true fool, however, embraces all of this, and also (unseen) shrinks before the face of his God. By his behaviour he plucks out all hypocrisy, false piety, and corruption. He is a figure much needed in our times!!! The way I have tried to tackle this extraordinary subject is to show him in seven stages from an obscene, huge, fat traditional clown who is drunk, fornicating etc., through a stumbling, frail agonized figure, to a sallow-faced, gaunt business man in a formal suit, staring at an empty glass. Having first revered him, then mocked him, the "people", while they get drunk and jabber away at "Christmas", and at the Feast of Feasts 'Easter', are no longer aware of him. But the audience sees him - a tiny, ragged scrap of mortality lying in a corner and faintly, so faintly the voice of the Fool, the true Fool for Christ's sake sings above the ribald crowd. "He has given His life". The Gogmagogs are the 'people', 'priests', 'singers' etc. and one male singer who can "create" or "uncreate" this vast role (singing and acting, miming etc.) John Tavener Arranged for SSATBB chorus. Date of composition, 2000. Chorus part only.
