The full title of this album gives a good overview of its contents and artistic intent: the Christmas story told in chant, motets, dialogues and traditional folk carols. Theatre of Voices, a mixed vocal quartet supplemented by organ and theorbo or guitar, sings four lessons, three Biblical stories in Baroque Italian settings, plus the traditional We Three Kings. The carols, traditionally sung by the choir or congregation at the Christmas Eve service, are sung a cappella by the chamber choir, Ars Nova Copenhagen. The performances, led by Paul Hillier, are absolutely first-rate. Album 2011 23 Songs. Dum deambularet Dominus in Paradisum.

Not only that by taking the traditional English Nine Lessons and Carols format and adapting it for a continental audience by including chant, motets, dialogues and traditional folk carols, Dorset-born conductor Paul Hillier, who has been resident in Denmark for nearly ten years, creates a Christmas oratorio of truly universal and indeed secular appeal. Hillier, himself an accomplished singer, formed the Theatre of Voices in 1990 and has been conducting the Grammy Award-winning chamber choir Ars Nova Copenhagen since 2002, to great acclaim. This latest disc, filled as it is with music and singing of exceptional beauty, should further their already stellar reputations. Забыли пароль Theatre of Voices. The Christmas Story.

Carols From the Old & New Worlds - Theatre of Voices, Paul Hillier. THE CHRISTMAS STORYChant, Motets, Dialogues, & Folk Carols. Review by: David Vernier. No matter which group hes conducting Ars Nova Copenhagen, Theatre of Voices, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, National Chamber Choir of Ireland, or what kind of program hes creating, Paul Hillier always presents something unique, the musical selections invariably containing some surprises, the projects always creative and purposeful. Here he takes inspiration from the traditional service of Nine Lessons and Carols, ingeniously substituting the usual scripture readings with 17th-century Italian dialogues that tell the Christmas story, but sung instead of read. Only one work from Carols for Choirs has made it into Paul Hillier's strikingly original Christmas sequence. Pungent arrangements of Personent Hodie and Es ist ein Ros Entsprungen jostle for space with ancient plainchant, Byrd's impeccable O Magnum Mysterium, a charming We Three Kings, and the rhetorical Roman Baroque dialogue motets of Alessandro Grandi and Giovanni Anerio. Ars Nova's ripe choral sound outclasses the thready blend of Theatre of Voices. Independent culture newsletter. The best in film, music, TV & radio straight to your inbox. Enter your email address.
