Winter 2024: Blessing of Winter
In December 2024, the Central Virginia Masterworks Chorale will present a seasonal program of three beautiful works: Francis Poulencs Gloria with a soprano soloist and organ accompaniment, Sarah Quartels A Winter Day scored for piano and cello, and A Light in the Stable by Alan Bullard with organ accompaniment.
The Poulenc is one of the major works of the twentieth century choral repertoire, commissioned by the Koussevitsky Foundation in honor of Sergei Koussevitzky and his wife Natalia; it offers a captivating mixture of solemnity and mischievous exuberance. Each movement of Quartels work depicts a different time of day, beginning with the cold darkness before dawn and concluding with the evening turning into dusk and then darkness. The music conjures up vivid images of a cold and crisp winter, and of swirling, dancing snowflakes. Bullards work tells the Christmas story with a combination of original music and familiar carols, including audience sing-along opportunities using familiar tunes.
