The official start of the Christmas season is, as everyone knows, not the release of the John Lewis Xmas ad, but the Fourth Choirs Winter Concert! During the dark days of December, the world can seem a cruel and difficult place and, as human beings have done since the dawn of time, this is the time when we are drawn to congregate together in places of light, warmth and companionship, to refresh the spirit and seek comfort from the sound of voices raised in harmony. In this years Music for a Winters Night, Jamie Powe, our Music Director, has carefully selected a wide variety of Xmas music that can be enjoyed by people of every religion and none. Weve included pieces by some of our favourite composers such as Cecilia McDowall, Nathaniel Dett and Michael Pretorius. Weve got pieces that are well-known - In the Stillness by Sally Beamish and an exquisite choral arrangement of Away in a Manger. And there are Renaissance rarities - by the Portuguese Vicente Lusitano, believed to be the first published black composer, and the Italian nun, Isabella Leonarda, who, despite living in a convent from the age of 16 until her death at the age of 83, was one of the most prolific women composers of her time. All this and more...So, come into the warm and wallow in music celebrating loving mothers, newborn babies peacefully sleeping, angels filling the night skies with light and song, new beginnings and nature renewing herself. Mulled cider (alcoholic or soft, included with ticket) will be served in the interval.
