Our first concert is a
collaboration between three ensembles: the women’s choir Concerto Della
Donna, the orchestra I Medici di McGill, and, of course, Musica Orbium.
Each one will present a work of their choice in the first half and, in
the second, will be joining forces for Ralph Vaughan Williams’ powerful
Christmas cantata, Hodie (This Day).
Vaughan Williams wrote his
last major choral-orchestral composition at an advanced age; the piece
nevertheless displays an uncommon measure of inventive force. Hodie
combines the spirit of a great Christmas cantata with elements drawn
from popular music. The sixteen movements are based on biblical texts
interwoven with poetry, for a total duration of one hour. The cantata is
scored for chorus, organ, and orchestra, and will feature soprano
Stéphanie Manias, tenor Eric Thériault and baritone Dion Mazerolle.
