HOLIDAY TRADITIONS AND JUBILATIONS
Friday, December 13 | 7:30pm
Saturday, December 14 | 3pm
The Arrowhead Chorale and Orchestra are delighted to celebrate the profound mystery and joy of the Christmas season with Holiday Traditions and Jubilations: O magnum mysterium. Settings by Tomas Luis de Victoria, Daniel Pinkham, and Morton Lauridsen, each unique in its style and expression, capture the essence of this sacred season, evoking both wonder and elation. The evening also features carol settings by Dan Forrest, John Rutter, Mack Wilberg, and more. We are delighted to be joined by Strikepoint and their director Bill Alexander. Together, we desire to bring an experience that resonates with hope and comfort during this time of year.
Arrowhead Chorale is a non-profit vocal ensemble consisting of just over 50 auditioned singers that bring fine performances of distinctive vocal ensemble literature to the Arrowhead region of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and beyond. The Chorale actively develops ambitious and memorable programming for the Twin Ports, and our repertoire spans five centuries of western music traditions.

From Spiritual to Spirituals:
Music of Praise and Hope
Featuring guest soprano Hope Koehler (West Virginia University, American Spiritual Ensemble), the Arrowhead Chorale explores sacred music in a variety of expressions from early chant to Mozart’s majestic Coronation Mass K. 319 to Sanctus from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass. The focus will then shift to the American spiritual, a truly unique and powerful genre described as “breathing the prayer and complaint of souls boiling over with the bitterest anguish.”* Ms. Koehler will join the Chorale with solo and collaborative performances of the music of Moses Hogan, Jester Hairston, and others. This promises to be a memorable and moving musical event in our community.
*Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave¸ 1845

GLORIA! Perhaps no other word has been set more frequently by composers throughout the ages in writing music celebrating the splendor, brightness, and joy of the holiday season. In our December concerts, the Arrowhead Chorale will present new and traditional settings of Gloria, with carol settings old and new featuring works of Mozart, Wilberg, and – the centerpiece of the concert – John Rutter’s breathtaking Gloria.
The Chorale will collaborate with organ, brass, orchestra, and the Strikepoint Handbell Ensemble to fill our new concert home, First Lutheran Church of Duluth, with the glorious sounds of Christmas
