Holiday
Program
Cantemus’ holiday
repertoire ranges from Great Britain to the American
Southwest. British composer Benjamin Britten’s
beloved Ceremony of Carols will feature the women singers
of Cantemus with guest harpist Tomina Parvinova. But
what other choral work uses harp? American composer Conrad
Susa came up with the perfect “accompaniment” — Carols
and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest, a collection
of Spanish, Catalan, Puerto Rican and Mexican carols.
He describes the work: “…the overriding
image of a Southwestern piñata party for the new
baby led me to add guitar and marimba to Britten’s
harp and to compose connective music and totally re-conceive
the carols.” Guitarist Steven Kirby and Mirimba/Vibraphonist
Abe Finch join the 32 singers for this and several other
pieces, and all three guest artists will perform solo
works.
