Occidental Community Choir

Description

"Winter Moon,” the Occidental Community Choir’s 2009 winter concert
series, marks the debut of new music director Sarah Saulsbury. The
program deftly blends choral repertoire from across the ages and
genres—from the sacred motet “Jubilate Deo” by Renaissance master
Orlando di Lasso, to the playful, uplifting rhythms of “Rain, Rain, Beautiful
Rain” by Joseph Shabalala of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to the sparkling
modernity of “little tree”, an e.e. cummings poem set to music by
contemporary composer Steve Heitzeg. As always, there is a generous
helping of OCC original compositions, including the mellifluous “Red Gold
Moon,” by Gordon Stubbe; “Shabaikai,” a meditation on the Russian
River’s journey through time and space by Reeta Roo; and “Light Against
the Darkness,” a soulful reflection on the spirit of Chanukah by Shari
Kovner and Robin Eschner. Throw in the jazzy “Cool Yule,” original
arrangements of James Taylor’s “Home By Another Way” and Kate Wolf’s
“Give Yourself to Love,” and some offbeat rounds by the inimitable poetmystic,
Moondog, among other delights, and you’ve got something to
please every musical palate. The OCC has been delivering your West
County holiday jollies for over thirty years. We hope you will come share
the joy of beautiful music and the warmth of community spirit with us this
December. $15 General, $13 Seniors (62+) Children 12 and under Free
