DESCRIPTION:Britten — A Ceremony of Carols\nAfter the grandeur of Handel
\, something smaller and more intimate — Benjamin Britten's luminous A C
eremony of Carols\, written for treble voices and harp\, weaving medieval
English poetry with a childlike sense of wonder. Benjamin Britten composed
A Ceremony of Carols in 1942\, aboard a troopship returning from the Unit
ed States. Separated from his partner Peter Pears and surrounded by the ch
aos of wartime\, he turned to medieval English texts and found in them a q
uiet\, luminous beauty. The work is scored for treble voices and harp —
a combination that gives it an otherworldly quality\, as if the music is d
rifting in from some distant\, snow-covered chapel. Each carol is a small
jewel: the playful energy of This little Babe\, the serene beauty of There
is no rose\, and the haunting tenderness of In freezing winter night. Thi
s December\, Bury Choral Society performs Britten's beloved A Ceremony of
Carols in the intimate surroundings of the United Reformed Church — a pe
rfect setting for an evening of Christmas music that is both ancient and u
tterly alive. Event Details Date: Tuesday 15 December 2026 Time: 7:30 pm V
