Benjamin Britten , 1976
When Benjamin Britten composed A Ceremony of Carols while on a dangerous voyage home to England through an Atlantic Ocean infested with Nazi U-Boats, he had no idea he was creating a masterpiece. He wore out his collection of centuries-old poems choosing just the right ones and fashioning them into a suite of carols with voices and harp.
In this holiday season, the Minnetonka Coral Society offers Britten's magical suite together with carols from across the centuries and around the world. From classics like Masters in This Hall and Past Three A Clock to new arrangements by Minnesota compolser Stephen Paulus, the Society brings all the spirit of the season straight to the heart of every concertgoer.
