On Friday 8 August 2014 Polyphonic Voices presented a heart-warming program to thaw the bleakest of midwinter nights.

Accompanied by mulled wine and wintery treats, A Midwinter Christmas, located in the beautiful Chapter House (Melbourne, Australia) showcased some of the very best choral repertoire of the festive season, often unperformed in a Southern-Hemisphere Christmas.

This is a live recording taken during the concert - Polyphonic Voices, A Midwinter Christmas, 8 August 2014

In The Bleak Midwinter - Gustav Holst

Music: Ivan Moody (b.1964)
A Carol for Christmas
SATB
This carol makes use of three complementary texts: the kontakion for the Nativity of the Orthodox Church, the children's carol Away in a Manger and the refrain "God is with us" from the Canticle of Isaiah sung at Orthodox Great Compline on Christmas Eve. The text of the kontakion expresses awe at the mystery of the Incarnation of the God of the Universe in the form of a helpless baby; and while the refrain "God is with us" reflects upon that awe, the carol Away in a Manger views the birth of Christ through a child's eyes.

Recorded live in performance by Polyphonic Voices, 8 August 2014.
