Experience France’s ancient Christmas melodic traditions with the Valley of the Sun’s early music choir, Solis Camerata. Listen as Solis Camerata unveils legendary French carols which originated as 8th century chants, Medieval folk melodies, courtly dance tunes or in Renaissance passion plays. Some of the old familiar carols included on this program are Veni Emmanuel (O Come, O Come, Emmanuel), Noël Nouvelet, and Les Anges dans nos campagnes (Angels We Have Heard on High). 

This concert finishes with Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit pour Noël. Originally intended for Christmas Eve services in Paris’ Jesuit community, this 1690 Mass exhibits several of France’s then-celebrated, but now lesser-known carols. Charpentier interweaved these borrowed melodies seamlessly into an original Mass setting that juxtaposes imitative polyphony along side simpler textures. With a score that calls for choir, soloists, baroque flutes, strings and continuo, this festive work is sure to begin the advent season with a reminiscent, yet joyful spirit.
