Christmas Concert - 2006

Nowell Sing We
The Ashburton singers, under the musical direction of Bridget Ansell present a varied and evocative programme of music for Advent and the Christmas season to include accompanied and unaccompanied carols from the medieval ages to the twentieth century.
Many of the texts such as The Coventry Carol and Sir Christemas date from the fifteenth century and, while some of the melodies are equally ancient there are also beautiful settings by Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Elizabeth Postern.
The French composer Jean Joubert's well-known carol Torches and his less famous but equally exciting Nowell Sing We are in the programme, together with serene nativity lullabies, French shepherds' carols and rustic wassailing songs from Sussex and Gloucester.
The audience will have the opportunity in some of our best-loved carols to join their voices with choir, organ and thrilling descant!
The programme was presented at:
St. Luke's Church, Buckfastleigh
St John's Church, Bovey Tracey
Admission was free with a retiring collection.
