Holiday Concert in Lakeville
Holiday Concert: Resonet In Laudibus – Resounding Joyful Praises
Renaissance and Baroque Holiday Music for Chorus and Brass
Some of the most festive music in all eras was written for the Christmas season! Immerse yourself in the rich vocal music on which some today’s beloved Christmas Carols are based: popular motets for four to eight voices, such as “In dulci jubilo” (Sweet rejoicing), “O magnum mysterium” (O great mystery), and “Resonet in laudibus” (Resounding joyful praises), and instrumental canzonas and toccatas by Italian and German composer: Praetorius, Gabrieli, Handl, Schein, Bassano, Bonelli, and others. And hear some of the familiar chorales from the Christmas Oratorio by the great Johann Sebastian Bach, an expression of joyful expectation and the celebration of Christ’s incarnation – a love story between God and humanity.
Crescendo Chorus and the Berkshire Brass will be directed from the organ by Crescendo’s Founding Artistic Director Christine Gevert.
Tickets are $40 general admission, $75 premium (preferential seating), and $10 for youth under 18. Concert starts at 4pm on December 11th!
This concert will also be presented the previous day, Sat., Dec. 10, at 6 pm at St. Paul Church Stockbridge, MA.
