Opis
These four fantastic cabaret songs are splendid examples of the genre. They not only provide ample evidence of the composer's and poet's wit and high spirits, but are also wholly characteristic of a particular kind of vernacularmusic that resulted from the collaboration of two brilliantly endowed young men in the thirties. The four Cabaret Songs, composed between 1937 and 1939 but not published until 1980, were written for Hedli Anderson (later wife of the poet Louis MacNeice), a singer specialising in the performance of high quality 'light music'. They include a setting the well-known Auden poem 'Tell me the truth about love', together with 'Funeral Blues', 'Johnny' and 'Calypso'. Hedli Anderson had taken the part of The Singer in The Ascent of F6, an Auden-Isherwood theatre piece for which Britten had written the incidental music in 1937, including the original version of 'Funeral Blues'. These are lively and witty settings, clearly influenced by the popular hit songs of the day while the onomatopoeic train noises of 'Calypso' clearly point forward to 'Midnight on the Great Western' from the Thomas Hardy cycle Winter Words of 1953.
