Programme Note
In addition to two well known works often performed in Christmas concerts, we give the first public performance of Mark Harrison's cantata Jubilate Natale. This was originally written for and performed by the choir and orchestra of St Mary's School, Menston, West Yorkshire. That does not mean it is a simple or easy work. Richmondshire Choral Society has performed four movements from it previously in earlier concerts and feels that it is a work which deserves wider reognition. It looks forward ri giving this first public full performance.
