A MEDITERRANEAN CHRISTMAS
Celebrating Christianity’s roots in the Middle East and Mediterranean, our program this December includes Arab Christian melodies, a Coptic chant, a Jewish song about longing for the Messiah, and Christmas songs from Spain, Italy, Hungary, and Greece – as well as beautiful contemporary and renaissance compositions featuring Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Music includes Palestrina’s
Surge illuminare Jerusalem, a beautiful piece based on the Hebrew word ‘Selah’ by American composer Dan Forrest, a new setting by Sheena Phillips of the Advent hymn
Rorate coeli desuper, and compositions by Sandström, Busto, Ingalls, and Ives.
