The Purcell Singers
A celebration of Christmas music from across the centuries.
The Purcell Singers present an uplifting festive programme inspired by Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. Join the choir and harpist Eleanor Medcalf for a celebration of Christmas fayre from the Renaissance to present day, including traditional carols and modern classics.
Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, is a stunning choral work for Christmas, composed in 1942. Scored for choir and solo harp, it sets medieval and early modern English poetry to music, creating a magical atmosphere. The plainchant processions which open and close the piece, match the ethereal feel. Performed by candlelight, it is truly a festive treat.
The programme also includes carols and other Christmas music, including I Saw Three Ships, Sussex Carol, Jonathan Dove’s The Three Kings, Paul Fincham’s Ring the Bells, In the Bleak Midwinter and more.
