Two Carols 耶誕頌歌

伊莉莎白-馬孔奇的《兩首頌歌》包括兩首無伴奏高聲部歌曲：I sing of a maiden》和《This day》最初構思於 1966 年，歌詞均來自十五世紀的文本。這兩首曲子的特點截然不同，但都體現了豐富的和聲表現力，每首曲子的高音部分都可以獨唱（如果願意，也可以由一小組聲部演唱）。同樣，作曲家指出《我歌唱少女》的男高音聲部也可以獨唱；這裡的男高音聲部也適合中音演唱，因此這兩首頌歌都可以由 SSA 樂團演唱"

原文簡介:
Two Carols by Elizabeth Maconchy comprises two songs for unaccompanied upper voices: I sing of a maiden and This day, both originally conceived in 1966, with words from fifteenth-century texts. While contrasting in character, both embody a richly expressive harmony, with opportunity in each for the upper soprano part to be sung solo (or by a small group of voices, if preferred). Equally, the composer notes that I sing of a maiden’s tenor part may be sung solo; the tenor line here is also suitable for alto voice, making both carols accessible to SSA ensembles. The Choral Signature Series introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of contemporary composers and includes both lighter and more challenging works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
