Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac
Kathleen Ferrier in 1951
- ... that in Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac, Benjamin Britten assigned the tenor of Peter Pears to Abraham, the alto of Kathleen Ferrier (pictured) to Isaac, and both singing homophony as the voice of God? Source: [1]
- Reviewed: PEI Architects
- Comment: DYK that I have a habit to write an article about a composition by Britten to appear on his birthday, 22 November, which is also the day of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Sorry, due to vacation and unfinished other projects I came late this year. Perhaps it's possible still? If not, run it any day, but it seems really to be most meaningful that day. - I propose the image of Ferrier firstly because she is the only of the three performers of whom we have a portrait at around the time when they first performed it (1952, - no room for that in the hook I'm afraid), and secondly because for years now I wanted to see her pictured as TFA on her birthday (22 April) which hasn't happened and will not happen in 2023.

@Theleekycauldron: Would it be possible to run this on 22 November? Thriley (talk) 01:33, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- It would take an admin, - I'll ask on WT:DYK. Thank you for the review! Better pictured a later day than without that day though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:34, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
