Artistic director James Rodde. Hushed are the pigeons cooing low On dusty rafters of the loft; And mild-eyed oxen, breathing soft, Sleep on the fragrant hay below. Dim shadows in the corner hide; The glimmering lantern's rays are shed Where one young lamb just lifts his head, Then huddles 'gainst his mother's side. Strange silence tingles in the air; Through the half-open door a bar of light from one low-hanging star Touches a baby's radiant hair. No sound: the mother, kneeling, lays Her cheek against the little face. Oh human love! Oh heavenly grace! 'Tis yet in silence that she prays! Ages of silence end to-night; Then to the long-expectant earth Glad angels come to greet His birth in burst of music, love, and light!

Художественный руководитель и дирижер - Светлана Долниковская МЕТЕЛЬНЫЙ ХРАМ Храм — воздвигаемый белою бездной зимней метели, скрипучей, железной — что ты вращаешься вихрем в ночи? Что ты бредёшь по равнинной трясине? Или молитву несешь по России? Или, отчаявшись, хрипло кричишь? Вот окружил меня белой стеною. Был бы я рад подойти к аналою — свечку затеплить, молитву сложить. Пусто. Лишь слёзы на веках густели то ли от вздохов прощальной метели, то ли от счастья, что надобно жить. Русское поле, давно мог понять я: жизнь — испытание, но — не распятье. Вот и сегодня: и темень, и снег. Но почему, когда вьюга восстала храмом из поля — душа заблистала? Божий огрех? Или божий успех? Сколько я помню — иду через поле: в боли телесной, в провидческой боли. Надо бы плакать, а хочется жить. Нету для смертного в радо...    ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

The text is adapted from the E.E. Cummings Poem of the same name. Composer Gwyneth Walker writes: "This is a Poem of grandeur and of praise. Therefore it might be expected that this musical setting would aim at vastness, grandeur and awakening." Walker accomplishes this through a variety of means. First, the piano introduction includes slowly unfolding piano arpeggios which focus on open intervals of octaves, fifths and fourths, exploiting the full range of the piano keyboard. The composer also takes the singers on a harmonic journey which begins in a low register in C minor, and then travels through a number of other key areas until it reaches the distant key of G-flat. At this point, the voices are drawn closely together into a tone cluster containing the pitches G-flat, A-flat and B-flat, only to open apart into the glorious C major chords which conclude the ...    ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
