#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 4 2023
The challenge is to post video performances of the works that fit the theme in your social media channels. As always, I shared selections I hadn't used before.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 1 2023
The #ClassicsaDay team has made holiday music the December theme. The music shared doesn't necessarily have to be related to Christmas. It can be any classical work associated with either the sacred or secular activities of December.
Johann Kuhnau Cycle Now Complete
The entire collection is worth acquiring -- especially if you're interested in the high Baroque. At the very least, this volume is worthwhile because of the variety of materials.
#ClassicaDay #ClassicalChristmas Week 1
For the past four years, the #ClassicsaDay team has adopted Classical Christmas as its theme for December. And why not? We have a rich body of music related to the season dating back to the Middle Ages. A good deal of it is religious, but not all -- many works are simply inspired by the time of year.
Christmas in Leipzig traces tradition of excellence
Peter Groner directs the assembled forces in loving performances of these works. The choruses, echoing through the sanctuary have a grandiose warmth to them.
We are grateful for the generosity of the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation and UVA Arts Council, supporting WTJU and CharlottesvilleClassical.org.
