Scunthorpe & District Choral Society presents ‘Noël'
Scunthorpe & District Choral Society present an evening of choral music showcasing two wonderful pieces of music to take us into the Christmas season.
Conducted by Sarah Tenant-Flowers and with professional soloists and instrumentalists - Come and join us for a wonderous evening, showcasing two Christmas works:
MESSE DE MINUIT by Marc-Antoine Charpentier
The Midnight Mass is one of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s most famous works.
Composed in 1694, this is a re-arrangement of ten traditional French Christmas hymns. Although at that time, some of these tunes were forbidden with secular music being banned in churches, however long standing traditions were tolerated.
CHRISTMAS ORATORIO by Camille Saint Saëns
This oratorio was written in less than a fortnight and completed only 10 days before its premiere on Christmas 1858.
The narrative portion of the text tells the part of the traditional Christmas story involving the shepherds. The remainder reflects upon the meaning and significance of the event.
It’s a quiet and lyrical work at a time of year when everything can be overstated.
Saturday 25th November 7.30 - 9.30pm
