The Golden Vanity

The Golden Vanity is a musical setting of an adaptation by Colin Graham of a traditional folk song, also known as "The Sweet Trinity", for boys' voices and piano by the English composer Benjamin Britten (1913–76). The composer described it as a vaudeville. The boys act out parts as well as sing; Britten wrote on the score: "The Vaudeville should be given in costume but without scenery … The action … should be mimed in a simple way and only a few basic properties, such as telescopes and a rope, are needed … A drum should be used for the sound of cannon fire".
