Musica Sacra's "Candlelight Christmas" - West Seattle Concert December 7, 2012

A Candlelight Christmas is the theme of a concert of choral music to be presented by the Musica Sacra Chamber Chorale at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in West Seattle. A candlelight procession opens this wonderful concert that features holiday choral music from the Renaissance through the modern day. An Advent-like atmosphere of mystery pervades the first half as segments on waiting, mystery and the mother are explored. The second half moves to more of a celebratory tone as we explore the meaning of light and end with a prayer for peace. Composers such as as Whitacre, Caccini, Gjeilo, Forbes, and John Ferguson are featured as well as a setting of Silent Night by Stephen Paulus and the premiere of an arrangement of John Rutter’s Candlelight Carol written by Maestro Ingalls. This is a not-to-be-missed concert by one of Seattle’s premiere vocal groups. MSCC will be partnering with the West Seattle Helpline and the West Seattle Food Bank for this concert series.
