Sancta Civitas (The Holy City) è un oratorio di Ralph Vaughan Williams, scritto tra il 1923 e il 1925.

Storia

Il lavoro fu eseguito in anteprima a Oxford nel maggio del 1926, durante lo sciopero generale del Regno Unito. Sebbene il suo titolo sia in latino, il libretto è interamente in inglese, basato su testi dell'Apocalisse. Il testo è tratto da diverse traduzioni, tra cui la Bibbia di Taverner. Verso la fine della vita, Vaughan Williams definì Sancta Civitas la preferita delle sue opere corali.[1]

Orchestrazione

Sancta Civitas è scritta per un'orchestra completa, con organo opzionale, nonché un coro misto, un semi-coro, un "coro lontano" di ragazzi (accompagnato da una tromba fuori dal palcoscenico), un baritono solista e un tenore solista.

Struttura

Il lavoro dura circa 30 a 35 minuti. Sebbene Sancta Civitas si presenti nella partitura come un singolo brano continuo, nelle incisioni in genere è suddivisa in 10 sezioni come segue:

  1. I was in the spirit (Lento)
  2. And I saw Heaven opened (Allegro)
  3. And I saw an angel standing in the sun (Meno mosso)
  4. Babylon the great is fallen (Lento)
  5. Rejoice over her O Heavens (Allegro moderato)
  6. And I saw a new heaven (Adagio)
  7. Therefore are they before the throne of God (Poco meno largo)
  8. And I saw a pure river
  9. Holy, Holy, Holy (Andante sostenuto)
  10. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory (Poco animato)

Partitura vocale

La riduzione per pianoforte delle parti orchestrali utilizzate nella partitura vocale è stata preparata dal collega compositore Havergal Brian.
