Two performances--December 4 @ 7pm & December 5 @ 4pm--Lehman Auditorium
Join SVCC's Concert, Treble and Preparatory Choirs in their Christmas performances of "A Season for Rejoicing!" Artistic director Janet Hostetter with assistants Joy Anderson, Heidi King, and Ben Luna will lead choristers and audience members through a jubilant and diverse array of Christmas and holiday songs. Selected works include John Rutter's "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day," Henry Purcell's "Celebrate this Happy Holy Day," and Elaine Hagenburg's lyric arrangement of the hymn "O Love." A contemporary arrangement of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" features a soloist accompanied by body percussion, piano, and mixed-voices. Choristers of all ages will sing songs from other cultures and traditions including, "Mi Burrito Sabanero" (Hurry, little donkey); "Kol Han-shamah" (Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord); "Sisi Kushangilia" (We will be glad); and "Hine Ma Tov" (How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity). The concert will conclude with an upbeat gospel selection, "Mary Had a Baby with Joyful Joyful" performed by all three choirs together.
