THE Christmas concert season is in swing around the region, with an ethereal recital by the Vox Caldera Chamber Choir lighting the way in Ballina.<\/p>\n

The Music Estuary presents the choir’s Light Eternal Christmas Concert at St Mary’s on Sunday afternoon, December 15.<\/p>\n

Light Eternal translates as Lux Aeterna, a transformative work by Edward Elgar for eight voices. Audiences will be familiar with the work as Nimrod, the 9th of 14 of Elgar’s 1899 Enigma Variations.<\/p>\n

French composer and pianist Francis Poulenc’s Hodie Christus Natus Est (Today Christ is Born) is an energetic, vibrant item with metric changes and deep, crunchy chords.<\/p>\n

In balance with Poulenc, Nunc Dimittis (Lord, let your servant depart in peace) by Arvo P\u00e4rt moves the program to a calmer and more meditative place.<\/p>\n

One of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most famous motets, Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied (Sing the Lord a New Song) from Psalm 149, is the program highlight. This work, too, is written for a double (8-part) choir.<\/p>\n

Together with these highlights, the concert program includes works by Handel, Bruckner, Gjeilo and Lauridsen.<\/p>\n

A selection of Christmas carols is also featured.<\/p>\n
