    The Cambridge Singers Christmas Album directed by JOHN RUTTER AROLS AND CHRISTMAS MUSIC have always formed a part of the CCambridge Singers’ recorded repertoire, and this album picks out some of my The Cambridge Singers personal favourites. Most of the 23 items are taken from the two albums Christmas with the Cambridge Singers and Christmas Day in the Morning, and there are four previously unreleased tracks which were squeezed out of those two albums and which I am happy Christmas Album to have found space for here. There are three strands to the programme: traditional carols; choruses and motets; and composers’ carols. In fact these categories are not as separate as they might appear. Composers have always loved to take traditional melodies and incorporate them into their own compositions, sometimes considerably elaborating them in the process: think of all those L’homme armé masses or of Bach’s chorale treatments. The art of the arranger, widely thought of as a twentieth-century invention, is as old as composition itself. When we listen to a ‘traditional’ carol sung by a choir, we are in fact generally hear- ing the work of an identifiable composer who has arranged, in his own style, a melody by an unidentifiable or obscure composer from an earlier era. The earliest examples on this album are Victoria’s O magnum mysterium (1572), a four-voiced motet where the melodic outlines are based on a Gregorian chant, and Scheidt’s In dulci jubilo (1620), which takes one of the best-loved of all Christmas carols and turns it into a resplendent double-choir motet with two antiphonal trumpet parts.

  • CHRISTMAS-CAROLS-Notes-Rev.Pdf
    CHRISTMAS CAROLS Although any Christmas song might be called a ‘carol’ these days, the word actually refers to an ancient English song-form where a refrain or chorus repeated after every stanza (or verse) and is often connected to celebrations like Christmas or Easter. The word carol is derived from the Old French word carole, a circle dance accompanied by singers (in turn derived from the Latin choraula). Carol’s origins are complex and disputed. Some of our familiar Christmas carols were originally pagan songs, sung at the Winter Solstice celebrations They were very popular as dance songs from the 1150s to the 1350s, after which their use expanded as processional songs sung during festivals, while others were written to accompany religious mystery plays. Whatever the origin, composers all over Europe started writing carols but most people could not understand them since they were written and sung in Latin. This changed in the early 13th century when St. Francis of Assisi introduced Christmas songs in church services in Italy for the first time — and true Christmas carols were officially born. In Assisi’s Nativity plays, which began in 1223, actors sang songs that described the scenes in the plays. Although the choruses were sometimes in Latin, the songs were usually written in the language that people could understand. The actors composed Christmas carols to sing during their Nativity plays and, later, they would walk through the streets still singing. It didn’t take long for these plays to spread to France, Spain and the rest of Europe. The tradition of singing Christmas songs in native languages became well established.

  • Mozart Requiem: 1OO Voices
    MOZART REQUIEM: 1OO VOICES Lyn Williams Festive Alleluia Lyn Williams OAM is the founder and artistic director of Sydney Children's Choir and the national children's choir, Gondwana Voices. Under her leadership, the Gondwana Choirs organisation has grown to include twenty three ensembles, including the Gondwana Indigenous Children’s Choir. She has conducted most major professional choirs and orchestras in Australia, and has been music director and conductor for a number of major events, including the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Lyn is a Churchill Fellow and as a composer won the 2009 APRA–Australian Music Centre Vocal/Choral Work of the Year for her work A Flock of Stars. In 2015, Lyn was named one of The Australian Financial Review and Westpac’s 100 Women of Influence in the category of Culture. What to listen for Alleluia (or Hallelujah) comes from Hebrew and means ‘praise God.’ Lyn Williams composed this joyful processional work for Sydney Children's Choir. Inspired by medieval dance tunes, it alternates between two sections, with the parts at times singing in canon (that is, singing the same melody but starting one after the other). Anonymous Gaudete from Piae Cantiones 1582 The Piae Cantiones was a collection of medieval songs published in Sweden in 1582. They were unknown in England until three hundred years later, when a number of them were set to new words and published as Christmas carols. They included Good Christian Men, Rejoice, and Good King Wenceslas. Gaudete is also a Christmas carol. The words appear in the Piae cantiones, but the tune commonly used was probably composed in the sixteenth century.

  • Barbara Kowalik
    Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 42, 2006 A POPULAR CODE FOR THE ANNUNCIATION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLISH LYRICS BARBARA KOWALIK University of Warsaw ABSTRACT The paper deals with a popular type of the Annunciation lyric in medieval English poetry. A brief survey of the role of the angelic announcement to Mary in medieval art and culture is given. The argument then pursues several distinctive traits of this kind of lyric in a number of poems from the thirteenth through the sixteenth centuries. The distinguishing features include a tripartite structure, a common set of words, phrases, ideas and images, emphasis on singing, a spring set- ting, tryst between lovers, and the use of popular genres, particularly ballads and carols. By anal- ogy with music, it is argued that a certain popular code for the Annunciation existed, against which interesting artistic transformations of the theme were introduced. For example, the Annun- ciation was evoked in a highly compressed and allusive manner by means of but a few elements of the code. The principal elements of the alleged code derived from popular art and imagination. Their application to theological issues frequently led to the blurring of boundaries between the sacred and the profane, and between the Christian and the pagan. The paper proposes a distinction between Lent and alleluia subtypes of the Annunciation lyric. It also demonstrates how the pas- tourelle, aubade, and chanson d’aventure conventions of secular love poetry were adapted to represent the Annunciation. Finally, it suggests a connection between the lyric “At a spryng wel” and a specific statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, like the much-reverenced statue of Our Lady at Walsingham.

  • The Carol and Its Context in Twentieth-Century England Sean Vogt
    The Carol and Its Context in Twentieth-century England Sean Vogt loria in excelsis deo, et in terra G pax hominibus (“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to all people”), Luke 2:14, was likely the fi rst carol ever heard, sung by the angels over the fi elds of Bethlehem. It would be more than a millennium before the next documented account of carol singing. In this case, it happened in Greccio, Italy, where St. Francis made the fi rst Christ- mas crèche (crib) in 1223, in response to the Manichaeism1 of the eleventh and twelfth centuries—recreating the stable, even obtaining an ox and ass. People from around the village began to gather around St. Francis’s biblical re-creation. As a result, the people “poured out their hearts in praises to God; and the friars sang new canticles…”2 The dawn of the Protestant Reforma- tion brought carol singing—amongst a myriad of other activities—to an abrupt halt. The Reformation during the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries re- sulted in a fragmented church. The Lu- therans viewed the feast of Christmas as a popish abuse. Since the Calvinist Gustav Holst (early 1920s) in front of movement was quite popular, Christmas Queen’s Hall (©Holst Birthplace Museum/ was consequently unpopular in England. Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum) Christmas Day was abolished by Parlia- ment from 1644–1660; The Book of Com- Christmas Carols New and Old (1871) mon Prayer had no seasonal hymns. It being just a few examples. was not until the Supplement to the New From the Piae Cantiones, which itself Version of the Psalms (1700) that interest contained medieval carols, to the Vic- in carols was rekindled.
