This enchanting winter season, the Peninsula Womenโs Chorus welcomes you to relish the love, security, and warmth of an eagerly anticipated homecoming after a long journey lost in a snow-covered landscape.
Delve into the captivating world of snow, exploring the myriad Inuit words with R. Murray Schaferโs gently atmospheric โSnowformsโ; discover the precise mathematical beauty of Estonian composer Veljo Tormisโ โTalvemustridโ (Winter Patterns); and be immersed in the poignant emotions and tragedy of Carol Barnettโs evocative โWinter, Snow.โ
Highlights include Johannes Brahmsโ โEs tรถnt ein voller Harfenklangโ from Vier Gesรคnge, op. 17; Giovanni Gabrieliโs glorious โO Magnum Mysteriumโ for double chorus; David Langโs contemporary masterpiece โi lie,โ which explores the sacred aspect of waiting; and Michael Bussewitz-Quarmโs moving setting of โNigra Sum,โ dedicated to refugees worldwide and all who undertake difficult journeys toward a better life. Our concert journey concludes with heartwarming carols, including a new-to-PWC arrangement of โSilent Nightโ and John Rutterโs joyfully refined โCandlelight Carol.โ
We hope this musical journey warms your heart as much as the joyous homecoming that awaits!
