Your Holiday Show of Shows Big screen, small screen -- all of your holiday favorites are here! From "White Christmas" to Rudolph and Frosty, the Santa Clarita Master Chorale will offer seasonal favorites from all musical traditions, featuring selections from "Messiah" by Handel and a world premiere: "Magnificat" from California composer Kevin Memley. The Santa Clarita Children’s Honor Choir will again join us to help celebrate the holidays. Brahms and Barber Called “the people’s requiem,” this masterpiece of deep solace by Johannes Brahms headlines The Santa Clarita Master Chorale’s March concert. Writing from perhaps his own deep grief, "Ein Deutsches Requiem" focuses on the living left behind, a powerful musical comfort. Also on the bill, from 20th century American composer Samuel Barber, the Chorale presents “Prayers of Kierkegaard,” a pleasing musical affirmation of the unchanging Divine, written from Barber’s Presbyterian and Quaker roots and reflecting philosopher and preacher Søren Kierkegaard’s deep personal spirituality which claimed “doubt” as part of “faith.”
Let Music Fill the Air Come delight in the human voice -- the “first” instrument - as the Chorale presents songs about “singing.” From choral darling Eric Whitacre to the entertaining traditions of Ward Swingle and the inspiration of Mormon Tabernacle Choir Director and composer Mack Wilberg, the program features music about soft nights, laughter and childhood; and our hopes and dreams and faith. The Chorale also welcomes back the Santa Clarita Children’s Honor Choir to present “Mass of the Children” by beloved songwriter John Rutter.
