This Week's Ministry Message
A Winter’s Night
On December 15th, during the 9:30 am service, the Chancel Choir along with members of the Metropolis Chamber Orchestra will be performing Cecilia McDowell’s A Winter’s Night. Composed in 2014, the work was originally scored for brass, organ and choir and recently Cecilia rescored the setting for Chamber Orchestra and it’s very exciting that our choir will be giving the US premiere of the work in this new adaptation.
It is a marvelous work which sets five very familiar carols in a most the most imaginative creative way. The carols include; In Dulci Jubilo, O Little One Sweet, Noel Nouvelet, Still, Still Still and the Sussex Carol. Our choir has enjoyed immensely preparing A Winter’s Night and we hope you will be in worship on December 15th to enjoy this very special composition.
A British contemporary composer, “Cecilia McDowell is one of the leading choral and vocal composers of our generation.” MUSICIAL OPINION. More about Cecilia can be found on her website. https://ceciliamcdowall.co.uk/
