Music for Holy Week

A program of a cappella works from various eras appropriate for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter.
Our Fall 2014 trimester, Holiday Light and Love, celebrates the Christmas holiday with works a cappella and accompanied. The joys and beauties of Christmas are expressed in French Baroque composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier's delightful Messe de Minuit pour Noël, with more contemporary Christmas texts and sounds in Norman Dello Joio's The Holy Infant's Lullaby and Conrad Susa's Three Mystical Carols.
Since its founding in 2006, sixty-voice Chora Nova has become an important part of the San Francisco Bay Area’s cultural fabric. Based in Berkeley, California, it is known as a chorus that presents innovative programs featuring a mix of well-known and unusual works. Programs such as Baroque masterpieces by Handel and Kuhnau, or the contemporary cantata St. Nicholas by Benjamin Britten are prime examples. In the 2012-2013 season we presented the rarely heard Mass in D Minor by Hummel.

The music is a mix of rare and traditional works and new work, sometimes barely off the press!
