      "Ring in the season with two brilliant new carols! "Imagine what =
it was
like when 'Deck the Hall' was first heard--or the magical evening in the
Austrian Alps when 'Silent Night' was first sung," says Philip Brunelle,
artistic director of VocalEssence. The carol competition was begun with =
the
same idea because carols are a living, breathing part of our holiday
experience. "Every year we look for that unique carol that will touch
everyone and make us happy to be celebrating another Christmas season."
Thomas Fielding (Bloomington, Indiana) and Alan Higbee (Beachwood, Ohio)
were selected from a total of 74 entries received from 28 states. Thomas
Fielding's carol, "Behold the Dark and Bitter Night," is a setting of =
his
own text and is scored for chorus with harp. Alan Higbee's carol, "In =
the
Bleak Midwinter" is a setting of a poem by Christina Rossetti, =
accompanied
by solo oboe. Welcome Christmas! also features two other world =
premieres:
"Make We Merry," written for the VocalEssence 35th anniversary season by
Stephen Paulus. Paulus has become one of America's most successful
composers. His popular choral work "Pilgrims' Hymn" was selected for
performance during funeral services for the late President Ronald Reagan =
at
the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. "A Carol" by Cary John =
Franklin
sets a poem by Donald Hall."
