Sing-Along Messiah
Saturday December 11,
2010
2:00 pm
With Orchestra
and Guest Soloists
Under the Direction of Susan Stuart
|
An oratorio is a dramatic sacred choral work, usually for soloists, chorus and orchestra, that is performed in "concert hall" style rather than "staged." The full score of Messiah, which
consists of three sections, takes more than four hours to perform. This
concert includes the first section, considered the "Christmas" section, and
selections from the other two parts. The concert ends with the singing of
the well known "Hallelujah Chorus" which comes from Part 2 of the oratorio. What is a Messiah Sing-Along?This is an event attended by anyone who loves music and who would like to sing or listen to the music of Handel's Messiah. Copies of the music will be available to purchase. At this performance, we will have the accompaniment of an orchestra and we will also hear the solo arias of Messiah sung by outstanding Bay Area vocalists. But I'm not really a singer, can I come?Yes, please come. You don't need to sing, but you will be amazed by the singing that takes place all around you, as well as the music coming from the stage. There is no pressure to rehearse or sing like a soloist. It's a charity event, so buy your ticket and come enjoy and receive inspiration for the holiday season. |
