Oratorio de Noel
The Chancel Choir of Central UMC will present French composer Camille Saint-Saens' (1835-1921) Oratorio de Noel ("Christmas Oratorio") on Sunday, December 19th at the 11:00 am service. Originally scored for five soloists (soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone), organ, harp, and strings, this performance will feature seven soloists from the choir and Brian Dailey at the organ. The women of the chorus are featured in one movement of the oratorio too, with choral wiring for SSAA in that movement. While the Chancel Choir began work on this oratorio in late October, the musical prodigy composer, Camille Saint-Saens, composed the Christmas Oratorio in less than two weeks, completing it just ten days before its premiere on Christmas day of 1858! We will present the work in English, and the performance will run about 40 minutes.
