MPAC PRESENTS CANTORION CYMREIG VICTORIA WELSH CHOIR

 

 

Saturday the 6th of November at 7.30pm (Tickets on sale from the 1st of June 2010)

VicWelsh’s Music - Cerddoriaeth VicWelsh
At the heart of our repertoire – a quarter of it or so – is of course the music which has earned Wales the title “Land of Song”, such as:

- Stirring hymns that raise the roof in chapels from Caerdydd to    Caergybi
- Poignant ballads of young (and not-so-young) love - almost    always unrequited!
- Age-old folk songs
(Most of these we sing in the language of heaven – Cymraeg)

 

The rest of our range encompasses various genres, including:

- Choruses from opera, light opera, stage and film
- Songs from a variety of countries and cultures, including Australian songs and American gospel songs
- Popular songs from the two world wars and the periods before, between and after them


As a male voice choir we sing these songs in TTBB (Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone and Bass) arrangements, in which the four parts are much more closely blended than for mixed choirs.  We almost invariably sing from memory.  Our concerts also include contributions from soloists – who may be professionals, choir members or performers from the place we are visiting. – and a dash or three of humour!

Click below to select a song to hear and watch on YouTube:

- Rachie
- Eli Jenkins' Prayer (Sunset Poem)
- Speed Your Journey (Hebrew Slaves' Chorus)
- Les Misérables Medley

Tickets: Adults $45.00, Concession $42.00, FOMPAC $40.00, Children (18 months to 16 years) $28.00, Group Bookings (10+) $39pp
