A delight of Christmas music from the US and the UK

Add to my Calendar 11-12-2021 19:00 11-12-2021 21:00 36 Heav'n’s Moving Light After the success of our first post-lockdown concert in Skipton, we are delighted to be singing our Christmas concert in the lovely acoustic of Kirkby Malham church, nestled in the Dales.  We will be singing a wonderful range of music, not all listed above, including some choral favourites: the centuries-old “In Dulci Jubilo” and “Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen” by Praetorius, with well-known carols “God rest you merry, gentlemen” and “The Infant King”, and then moving across the Atlantic to enjoy some American carols in quite different styles. Alongside these we have more modern music, some relatively well known, such as Warlock's “Bethlehem Down”, and some music written in the last few years, including an arrangement of the “Sussex Carol” by our previous Musical Director, the late Michael Howell; "A Spotless Rose" by our current Musical Director, Robert Webb; Lauridsen's fabulous "O Nata Lux"; and two very recently composed Christmas works by Matthew Oglesby.  We are looking forward to it, and hope you will join us for what should be a lovely evening.
