Christmas concert



Nicolaiconcert

The Nicolaïkerk (St. Nicholas church) is a medieval church in the southern part of the old city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. This building is the home of two very interesting instruments, the organ built by Marcussen and the carillon built by the famous Hemony brothers (17th century). These instruments are the backbone for a series of concerts, which are organised each year by the Stichting Culturele Evenementen Nicolaïkerk (Foundation for Cultural Events in the Nicolaïkerk ).

Duration of the concerts is approx. 45 minutes.
Tickets are sold at the entrance of the church, doors open half an hour before concert start time. No reservation is needed.

For the current program you can browse our program agenda.

The Nicolaikerk is located at the Nicolaaskerkhof in the inner city of Utrecht (See city map Utrecht).

Ribattuta ensemble



Programm:

William Albright (1944 - 1998 ) - Chichester Mass
(Commissioned for the ninth centenary of Chichester Cathedral, 1975)

Herbert Howells (1892 - 1983) - Chichester Service

Leonard Bernstein ( 1918 - 1990 ) - Chichester Psalms
(Commissioned by the very rev. Walter Hussey, Dean of Chicheser Cathedal, for its 1965 Festival.)

Chichester Cathedral has a great musical tradition, going back to its famed organist composer of the early 17th century, Thomas Weelkes.

The Dean of Chichester Cathedral Walter Hussey, was a very art-loving person. He commissioned in the 20th century several famous liturgical pieces. A lot composers have since then written beautifull compositions for services and festivals at Chichester. among them Jonathan Harvey, Geoffry Burgon, Lennox Berkeley, Herbert Howells.

Three of these very interesting and famous pieces are included in this program, The Chichester Mass by William Albright, and the Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein. Also the Chichester Servic by Herbert Howells, who wrote almost 20 Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis compositions for the important English cathedrals and their choirs.
All the musical items of the Anglican choirtraditon together in one concert: Motet, Mass, Canticles and Psalms. And all of them from famous rather different traditions and style periods.
