LIGHT ETERNAL
About
CHRISTMAS CONCERT - VOX CALDERA CHAMBER CHOIRThis year, the title of the concert - LIGHT ETERNAL - is the translation of
the inspirational work LUX AETERNA, by Elgar. Many in the audience will recognise the work as ‘Nimrod’, part of Elgar’s Enigma Variations, arranged for 8 part choir.
Another treasure is Poulenc’s quirky setting of ‘Hodie Christus Natus Est’ (Today Christ is born).The music is energetic - full of metric changes and scrunchy chords!
Arvo Pärt’s ‘Nunc Dimittis’ (Lord, let your servant depart in peace) is calm and meditative - balancing the energy of Poulenc!
A special place in the program is one of Bach’s most famous motets: ‘Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied’ (Sing to the Lord a New Song) from Psalm 149.
Again, the work is written for a double choir (8 parts).
Other gems are by Handel, Bruckner, Gjeilo and Lauridsen, as well as several carols!
