A Christmas Carol: A New Choral Setting of Charles Dickens's Beloved Classic
Advance: $35-$60 ($15 student) |
At the door: $45-$60 ($25 student)
Choral Arts NW presents a new setting of Charles Dickens's seasonal story of goodwill and change of heart, with music by two-time Grammy Nominee and American Prize-winner Benedict Sheehan. Narrator and choir interweave together the Christmas Carol tale of generosity with fresh arrangements of cherished carols that bring Dickens's character alive, from the childlike yet ancient Ghost of Christmas Past (In dulci jubilo) to the jovial Ghost of Christmas Present (The Boar's Head Carol). Scrooge's transformation is seen through new eyes, with Tiny Tim and the Cratchits accompanied by The Coventry Carol. Newly composed music links the spoken text and carols.
