A Wedding Anthem - Amo Ergo Sum. op. 46. soprano, tenor, mixed choir and organ. Réduction pour piano.

Based on Benjamin Britten's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64, this 15-minute choral suite was arranged and adapted by Lee Kesselman, and he has remained true to Britten's original score, with some adaptations to lend itself to a choral ensemble. These four choruses can be performed singly or as a suite. The editor has added some optional introductory lines, using words of Shakespeare which help to frame each chorus. This work presents an excellent and accessible opportunity for young singers to experience the operatic works of one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century--Benjamin Britten. Instrumentation : Children's choir (SS) and piano

Choral Music Experience

2013 marks Brittens centenary making this year an important one for his music 'A Charm of Lullabies' was written in December 1947 for the mezzo-soprano Nancy Evans. Britten was keen to provide the singer with a work for her recital programmes, and was helped in the choice of texts by Evans' husband Eric Crozier, who had recently written the libretto for Albert Herring. The work brings together an anthology of diverse texts unified by the themes of night and sleep and is one of the most welcoming and uncomplicated of Britten's song-cycles. This new arrangement presented in the Hawkes Pocket Score Series differs from the original piano version in several respects, in particular by expanding it to give it the extra dimension needed for an orchestral song-cycle, and by joining the first three songs, and the fourth and fifth, in effect presenting the cycle in two parts. Instrumentation : mezzo-soprano and orchestra op. 41
