Folk Songs of the Four Seasons Sheet music
Edited by Graham Parlett
Sheet music
Description
This cantata features sixteen highly-varied folk song settings, bound together in seasonal groupings to take the listener on an engaging journey through the year from Spring to Winter.
The prologue implores us to 'sing and be merry', and many of the songs facilitate this with their charmingly light-hearted melodies and imaginative orchestral accompaniment.
There are also darker moments, such as the haunting and heart-rending setting of 'The Unquiet Grave' in 'Autumn'.
For this comprehensive new edition, the editor Graham Parlett has drawn on all available sources, providing an authoritative full score with critical commentary.
This edition also makes available new materials for the version for string orchestra and piano, and a new vocal score.
