Joyful Light
This concert of popular carols is anchored by a performance of Morton Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna. The composer writes “(This) is an intimate work of quiet serenity centered around a universal symbol of hope, reassurance, goodness and illumination at all levels…fashioned on texts from several different Latin sources…each containing a reference to Light.” (excerpted from peermusicclassical.com) while the Times of London greeted the premiere thus:
“..a classic of new American choral writing … in this light-filled continuum of sacred texts, old world structures and new world spirit intertwine in a cunningly written score, at once sensuous and spare”
The carols include staples of the Christmas Season given a special stamp by well known composers and arrangers, such as David Willcocks, Geofrey Webber, Alice Parker and Robert Shaw, David Millard as well as Zoltan Kodaly and Boris Ord – more details below:
