A World of Holiday Joy

Welcome the season with a joyful collection of music from around the world. Featured in this international program of holiday music will be Italian composer, Ottorino Respighi's lovely "Laud to the Nativity," an earthy and simple Christmas work that focuses on the simple shepherds and Mary herself. Respighi's folksy tunes combine quite harmoniously with the poetry of 13th century Franciscan friar Jacopone da Todi. These Bolognese gentlemen give us music with plenty of sweet and joyous moments for the season.

The French Requiems

The Chorale presents two setting of the Requiem mass by two great French masters – Gabriel Faure and Maurice Durufle. These evocative works paint both tender and passionate musical pictures of our yearnings for comfort and the promise of hope. You will hear both an eloquent voice of human grief, and cinematically perfect songs of joy and "peace at the last."

A Musical Menu

From Bach to Broadway – "food, glorious food" is celebrated in a delightful array of choral music to suit every taste. Come indulge your musical appetite with Bach's light-hearted family drama about coffee; a scrumptious feast of music from the fellow that gave us West Side Story; and a "sweet" of musical offerings fit for the pickiest foodie from our own artistic director, Allan Petker.

Community Benefit Performances
Part of our commitment to the Santa Clarita Valley is to bring the Chorale’s music out into the community – and not just at our regular concerts. Past performances have been for the benefit Outreachof senior citizens at Sterling Canyon, Summerhill Villa, Newhall Senior Center and Friendly Valley; organizations such as the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, the City of Santa Clarita, the Valencia Library, the Valley Industrial Association, Friends of Hart Park and the Santa Clarita Valley Boys and Girls Club; and events such as the Los Angeles Arts Open House, Bella Via (a local street painting festival), and the Opening Ceremonies of the Santa Clarita Special Olympics.

In November of 2001, the Chorale performed for "Thanksgiving for Freedom," a benefit concert for victims of the 9/11 tragedy presented by local performing arts organizations, held at the Six Flags Magic Mountain Amphitheatre. On the first anniversary of 9/11, at 8:46 a.m., the Chorale performed the Mozart Requiem as part of the "Rolling Requiem," a worldwide choral commemoration of all those lost and those who helped others on September 11th.  On the second anniversary of 9/11, the Chorale performed the Fauré Requiem as part of a service of remembrance at Valencia United Methodist Church. For the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy the Chorale joined with other artists from the Santa Clarita Valley for the musical and multimedia "9.11.11 Remember.Honor.Reflect" Tribute presented by College of the Canyons, the City of Santa Clarita and Artists of Santa Clarita.

Organizations interested in benefit performances are invited to contact the Chorale in writing, three to six months prior to the desired date of performance.
