The Colorado Springs Chorale proudly announces the 23rd annual performance of its Christmas family favorite, Deck the Hall, The Best Way to Celebrate Christmas, (Best of the Springs, The Gazette) Friday, December 11, 2009, 7:30 p.m., at the Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts.
There is no music which evokes the spirit of Christmas more than the combined voices of a large chorus. The Colorado Springs Chorale’s 120 singers will bring joy to your season by presenting much loved favorites including carols, traditional choral seasonal pieces, and fresh arrangements of comfortably familiar standards.
The Chorale opens with a contemporary piece, Noe! Noe!, written by Mack Wilberg for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, then performs The Shepherd’s Chorus from Menotti’s Christmas favorite, “Amahl and the Night Visitors”. To recall Christmas’s past, the Chorale will sing carols such as God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, The First Noel, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. In the Chorale’s now familiar “concert within a concert” will be Handel’s Dettingen Te Deum (excerpts) written for Westminster Abbey. Back for an encore because of its past popularity will be Craig Courtney’s A Musicological Journey Through the Twelve Days of Christmas, presenting the Twelve Days in many different historical and geographical musical styles and narrated by Theatreworks well known artistic director, Murray Ross. This year’s special guests will be the Brass Ensemble of the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony under the direction of Gary Nicholson, performing singly and then joining the Chorale and the audience in the Chorale’s traditional sing-a-longs. Add to this Santa and Mrs. Claus in the lobby, decorations, spectacular lighting and the accomplished accompaniment of Daniel S. Brink, pianist and Edmund Ladouceur, organist, for a very festive Christmas celebration.
Ticket prices range from $16 to $49, with two dollar per ticket discounts for seniors, military, students and accompanied children. Four dollar discounts per ticket for groups of ten or more are available for selected seating areas. “It-Takes-Five” teen discounts are also honored.
Tickets may be purchased at the Pikes Peak Center Box Office; TicketsWest, 719 520 SHOW (7469); at all TicketsWest outlets, or www.ticketswest.com. Surcharges may apply.
Excerpts from Handel’s “Dettingen Te Deum:
