Sound the Trumpet
Saturday, December 16, 2006, 7:30 p.m. Mason United Methodist Church
Northwest Repertory Singers welcomes
the Evergreen Brass as their guest artists for an exciting evening of songs of the season. NWRS will begin the concert with
a processional by Henry Purcell that captures the title of the evening. This will be followed by a variety of glorious a cappella
and accompanied works including new arrangements of favorite melodies. The Evergreen
Brass will also perform a set of traditional carols and songs that will delight the listeners. The first half will conclude
with a traditional carol for choir, brass and audience.
The second half of the program will combine
choir, narrator, brass, timpani and organ in a cantata titled Christmas
Story by American composer Ron Nelson. This marvelous setting is
loaded with word painting and glorious harmonies, which eloquently enhance the drama of the story. Our guest narrator is Rev.
Eugene Kester. This collaboration is sure result in a performance that will bring the Christmas message and spirit to all
in attendance. (For more about the Evergreen Brass go to www.evergreenbrass.com) |
