Auckland Welsh Choir performance to bring festive cheer
The Auckland Welsh Choir is helping locals to get in the Christmas spirit with their upcoming performance: Ralph Vaughan Williams’ ‘Fantasia on Christmas Carols’, in collaboration with the Devonport Chamber Orchestra.
‘Fantasia on Christmas Carols’ is a 1912 work for baritone, choir and orchestra, and was first performed at Hereford Cathedral. The performance consists of the English folk carols ‘The truth sent from above’, ‘Come all you worthy gentlemen’ and ‘On Christmas night all Christians sing’ (the Sussex Carol) – all folk songs collected in southern England by Vaughan Williams and his friend Cecil Sharp.
