Two Partsongs 沃恩威廉斯
拉爾夫-沃恩-威廉斯的《兩首配樂詩》將莎士比亞的第 71 首十四行詩和本-詹森的《水仙的回聲哀歌》配上音樂，這兩首作品在此首次合併出版，讓人對英國 20 世紀最偉大的作曲家之一的早期發展歷程有了深入的瞭解。這兩首歌是沃恩-威廉斯在皇家音樂學院師從查理斯-斯坦福時創作的，是一對極好的對比作品--第一首表達的是真正的哀悼，第二首則是令人愉悅的狂想曲模仿--這兩首歌都是合唱曲目的重要和令人興奮的補充"

原文簡介:
Ralph Vaughan Williams' Two Partsongs sets Shakespeare's Sonnet 71 and Ben Johnson's Echo's Lament for Narcissus to music and are published here together for the first time, and present a fascinating insight into the early development of one of Britain's greatest 20th Century composers. Written when Vaughan Williams was a student at the Royal College of Music, studying under Charles Stanford, the two songs are an excellent and contrasted pair - the first addressing genuine mourning; the second a delightful madrigalian parody - and both make important and exciting additions to the choral repertory.
Arranged for unaccompanied SATB mixed voices choir.
