Benjamin Britten - A Ceremony Of Carols SSA Vocal Score

Voicing: SSA Choir/Harp (SSA/HP)

Difficulty level: 3 / Duration: 22 minutes

One of the most widely performed of 20th century British composers, renowned particularly for his operas, vocal and choral music. 

Explore the enchanting world of Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols," beautifully crafted for SSA choirs and harp. This masterful 22-minute work combines Latin and English texts, featuring carols like the jubilant "Wolcum Yole!" and the poignant "There is no Rose." Suitable for both children's and female adult choirs, each carol in the sequence offers unique musical expressions from the lively "This little Babe" to the serene "Balulalow."

Accompanied ideally by harp, but adaptable for piano, this score from Boosey & Hawkes integrates solo and duo pieces that enhance the choral texture, making it a vibrant showcase of Britten’s genius for vocal composition.

Pieces Include:

1. Procession (using a variant of the Magnificat antiphon for the second Vespers of the Nativity of Our Lord)
2. Wolcum Yole! (anon.)
3. There is no rose (anon.)
4a. That yonge child (anon.)
4b. Balulalow (James, John, and Robert Wedderburn)
5. As dew in Aprille (anon.)
6. This little babe (Robert Southwell)
7. Interlude (harp solo)
8. In Freezing Winter Night (Robert Southwell)
9. Spring Carol (William Cornish)
10. Deo gracias (anon.)
11. Recession (as for Procession)
