Christmas Oratorio: Heinrich Schütz / Messe de Minuit: Marc-Antoine Charpentier

Sunday 17 December 2006, 7.30pm

St Mary of the Angels
Boulcott St
Wellington

Guest conductor: Robert Oliver

Soloists Baroque Voices, period instrumental ensemble Academia Sanctae Mariae and The Tudor Consort join forces for this delightful programme of Baroque Christmas music, including Schütz’s powerfully dramatic Christmas Oratorio.

Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit for choir, solo voices and strings is famous because Charpentier uses for its themes the melodies of popular French carols. Schütz’s Oratorio blends trumpets, recorders and strings with choir and solo voices to tell the Christmas story in its famous episodes of the three Kings, the Angels appearing to the Shepherds, and the infant in the manger.
