A Christmas Carol
A beloved story. A season of song.
A Christmas Carol arrives as a newly co-commissioned musical story by Rowan Benedict Sheehan, created for The Bach Choir of Bethlehem and Music in the Somerset Hills.
Narrator, soloists, chorus, and chamber orchestra carry Dickens's beloved tale in one continuous sweep, weaving carols such as God rest you merry, gentlemen, the Sussex Carol, and It came upon the midnight clear directly into the prose.
The music traces Scrooge's transformation from shadowed solitude to renewed life at the Cratchit family table, inviting us to consider how shared song can change hearts and draw neighbors closer.
Oh What A Night!!
