The work includes a flute solo and Chordiality is delighted to have secured experienced flautist Rosie Walsh (pictured below), who played on the original recording, to appear at both performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside the Ave Maria<\/em>, the choir will perform the evergreen festive favourites O Holy Night<\/em>, Hail Smiling Morn<\/em>, Carol Of The Bells<\/em> and Masters<\/em> Of This Hall<\/em>. Audience carols and seasonal readings will complement the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The singers are also excited to be performing a number of new pieces in this year\u2019s repertoire with John Rutter\u2019s Gloria<\/em> as one of the centrepieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rutter\u2019s Gloria<\/em> has been enormously popular since it premiered in 1974. Regarded as one of the composer\u2019s \u2018heavyweight\u2019 works, the rhythmically-powerful music bears all the Rutter hallmarks of balanced vocal writing and concludes with a resounding, triumphant climax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Book tickets now at chordiality.choir@hotmail.com<\/a> or through a member of the choir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Christmas returns at the double for the Chordiality singers.
