Lad julefreden sænke sig, og træd ind i en fortryllende aften, når Sankt Annæ Pigekor synger Glyptotekets Festsal op på smukkeste vis. Programmet forener Benjamin Brittens poetiske ’A Ceremony of Carols’, en smuk julesang af Per Nørgård samt elskede, traditionelle julesange. Med sig har koret tre virtuose musikere på harpe, kontrabas og den sjældne ondes martenot – et instrument hvis drømmende, næsten overjordiske lyd væver magi ind i hver eneste tone.

OM 'A CEREMONY OF CAROLS'
Benjamin Britten komponerede ’A Ceremony of Carols’ i april 1942 på Atlanten under en rejse fra USA til England på et svensk fragtskib. Under en kort landgang i Nova Scotia, besøgte Britten en boghandel og fandt 'The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems', en samling engelske middelalderdigte fra det 14. til det 16. århundrede. Disse tekster dannede grundlag for de elleve satser i ’A Ceremony of Carols’, hvor Britten smukt knytter middelalderdigtenes sprog ind i sit musikalske univers.
OM SANKT ANNÆ PIGEKOR

CHRISTMAS CHOIR AT THE GLYPTOTEK
Let Christmas peace descend and enter an enchanting evening when Copenhagen Girls' Choir sings up the Central Hall at the Glyptotek. The program combines Benjamin Britten's poetic 'A Ceremony of Carols', a beautiful Christmas song by Per Nørgård, and beloved traditional Christmas carols. Three virtuoso musicians will accompany the choir on harp, double bass, and the rare ondes Martenot – an instrument whose dreamy, almost otherworldly sound weaves magic into every note.

ABOUT 'A CEREMONY OF CAROLS'
Benjamin Britten composed 'A Ceremony of Carols' in April 1942 on the Atlantic during a journey from USA to England on a Swedish freighter. During a brief landing in Nova Scotia, Britten visited a bookstore and found 'The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems', a collection of medieval English poems from the 14th to 16th centuries. These texts formed the basis for the eleven movements in 'A Ceremony of Carols', where Britten beautifully links the language of the medieval poems into his musical universe.
