Two Carols 耶诞颂歌

伊丽莎白-马孔奇的《两首颂歌》包括两首无伴奏高声部歌曲：I sing of a maiden》和《This day》最初构思于 1966 年，歌词均来自十五世纪的文本。这两首曲子的特点截然不同，但都体现了丰富的和声表现力，每首曲子的高音部分都可以独唱（如果愿意，也可以由一小组声部演唱）。同样，作曲家指出《我歌唱少女》的男高音声部也可以独唱；这里的男高音声部也适合中音演唱，因此这两首颂歌都可以由 SSA 乐团演唱"

原文简介:
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.
