2024 Fall Season
The NSCC are proud to be working for the 2024 Fall season on:
1. Gounod's St. Cecilia Mass
St. Cecilia Mass is the common name of a solemn mass in G major by Charles Gounod, composed in 1855 and scored for three soloists,
mixed choir, orchestra and organ. The official name is Messe solennelle en l'honneur de Sainte-Cecile, in homage of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music.
The Sanctus was used in Werner Herzog's film Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). Wikipedia
2. Handel's Messiah (Christmas parts)
Messiah (HWV 56) is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel. The text was compiled from the King James Bible
and the Coverdale Psalter by Charles Jennens. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere a year later.
After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed
choral works in Western music.
