  Saturday 3 December 2022, 7.30pm
  Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge
  With Mary Bevan, Iestyn Davies, James Gilchrist, Neal Davies, Graham Ross & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Clare College Choir are delighted to present Parts 1, 2, 3 and 6 of J S Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Designated by Alfred Dürr as one of the pinnacles of world musical literature, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was composed for the Christmas church festival at Leipzig in 1734. This included not only Christmas Day and the two following days, but also the Feast of the Circumcision, the Sunday after New Year and the Feast of the Epiphany. Thus it spread over into the New Year of 1735. Although Bach performed the Christmas Oratorio in six separate parts, it nevertheless forms a complete and unified work.

  Choir of Clare College, Cambridge
  Graham Ross, conductor

  The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge and conductor Graham Ross return to Bury St Edmunds with a programme that explores the rich tapestry of polychoral Renaissance works by composers closely associated with the city of Rome, interspersed with English motets, partsongs and childhood lyrics. Victoria’s double-choir Missa Ave Regina caelorum and Lassus’s thrilling 10-part Eastertide Magnificat super ‘Aurora lucis rutilat’ are heard alongside Stanford’s The blue bird, Graham Ross’s arrangement of Abide with me, and John Rutter’s mischievous The owl and the pussycat. The concert begins with Allegri’s famous Miserere, composed for the Sistine Chapel during the 1630s, and closes with English works in celebration of music itself, including Edward Naylor’s soaring hymn How shall I sing that majesty. This is truly life-affirming music – join us for an unforgettable sonic experience.
