Saint Nicolas. A Cantata. [Op. 42] - SIGNED SCORE

London: Boosey & Hawkes. 1948. First. Vocal score. 8vo. 33pp. [PN] 16343.  Bound in brown cloth boards, scattered foxing, overall fine. Signed in ink on the title page by Britten and Pears.  

Originally written for the centenary of Peter Pears’ old school Lancing College in 1948, Britten’s cantata tells the life of the fourth-century Bishop of Myra in a work of great poetry and sensitivity. It was conceived and composed with semi-amateur performance in mind and the technical demands of the choral and orchestral writing are appropriately straightforward. The audience also gets to join in two well-known hymns, All people that on earth do dwell and God moves in a mysterious way. (13015)
