Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - Lao Tzu

​

Bridget Convey, UUCC's Dir. of Music and Michael P. Atkinson, Orchestra Director in collaboration with UUCC's choir and orchestra will offer this dynamic service.

 

Music embraces us each day, meeting us where we are. Elaine Weaver & Dennis Pomerleau will offer reflections during the service.

 

The hymns and choral selections chosen are intended to move us through the seasons, a reflection on seasonal transitions, especially the transition into one of the more magical and/or challenging seasons of winter.

 

The centerpiece of this service is a beautiful composition by Norwegian/NYC based composer Ola Gjeilo, Seasons. Michael P. Atkinson has created a beautiful arrangement for our orchestra that will elevate this beautiful piece of music that reflects on the beauty and experience of each of our seasons. Set to the poetry by Charles Anthony Silvestri. Seasons will feature our choir and orchestra.

 

The choir and orchestra will open the service on an upbeat note with G. F. Handel’s Canticorum Jubilo, which means “in the jubilation of songs”. 

 

The choir’s final musical offering will settle us into the season of winter, with the beautiful Austrian Carol Still, Still, Still, which speaks of the quiet, the snow, and the stillness of the season.
