SPOTLIGHT

A good, old-fashioned Colorado Christmas:

A brief interview with Johnny Howard of The King’s Singers For many Americans, there is no place more evocative of a good, old-fashioned Christmas than merry old England. For that we can probably thank Charles Dickens and Scrooge.

But Jonathan “Johnny” Howard, bass singer for the British a capella sextet The King’s Singers — who will perform Dec. 11 at Macky Auditorium — says Christmas in America is the gold standard.

“England is more indifferent. We don’t have a huge festival and it’s mostly restricted to Christmas day,” Howard says by phone from London. “In America people seem to really want Christmas as soon as Thanksgiving is over. And the stress on the importance of family together is something unique to the states. It’s really quite nice.”

And if you like walking in a winter wonderland, Howard says, you’re more likely to find it right here in Colorado than England.

The sextet will perform a wideranging program at Macky, from seasonal favorites in close harmony to the sacred Christmas choral music of English c o m p o s e r Herbert Howells.

“We’ll bridge the gap between serious and light, old and new,” Howard says. “The audience will hear a really interesting mixture.”

“We once flew from Denver to Laramie and it was super cold, minus 35 degrees when we landed,” says Howard.

The King’s Singers are among the world’s most celebrated vocal ensembles. They have performed in Europe, the United States, China and elsewhere. In June 2013 they were elected to the Gramophone Hall of Fame. Learn more at kingssingers.com.

But, he says, the group’s reception in Colorado has been anything but chilly: “What I adore … is that everyone is so warm and welcoming.”

The King’s Singers will perform a Christmas program at 7:30 p.m.

Dec. 11 at Macky Auditorium, with tickets starting at $20. To buy tickets, please go to cupresents.org or call 303-492-8008.

COSÌ FAN TUTTE

By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart March 13-15, Macky Auditorium Mozart’s witty opera buffa follows 24 hours in the lives of two beautiful sisters whose scandalous infidelities make for a comic romp that was considered too hot for audiences even in the early 20th century. Featuring some of the composer’s most sumptuous arias, duets, and ensemble pieces make for a decadent and enchanting evening of opera. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

L’INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA (THE CORONATION OF POPPEA)

By Claudio Monteverdi April 23-26 Music Theatre, Imig Music Building Monteverdi’s drama about sex, crime and realpolitik during the debauched reign of the Roman Emperor Nero, turns conventional morality on its head—virtue is punished and greed rewarded. The score soars but the sensual duet between Nero and his lover—eventually wife—Poppea, Pur ti miro, pur ti godo—meaning, “I gaze at you, I possess you”—is the pièce de résistance. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

This production will be styled after the hit Netflix realpolitik series House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey.

The Grammy Award-winning quartet— Edward Dusinberre, violin; Károly Schranz, violin; Geraldine Walther, viola; and András Fejer, cello—has been selling out concerts for three decades at CU-Boulder with an irresistible blend of viruosic technique and engaging personalities.

A BROADWAY CHRISTMAS CAROL

By Kathy Feininger, Directed by Nathan Stith Dec. 4-21, University Theatre If Charles Dickens had huddled with Rodgers and Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Matt Stone and Trey Parker to write a holiday show, they just might have come up with A Broadway Christmas Carol. Simultaneously irreverent and respectful, the play offers a fresh, hilarious and charmingly recognizable retelling of Dickens’ classic holiday ghost story, complete with new lyrics to famous Broadway show tunes.

TARTUFFE BY MOLIÈRE

Translated by Christopher Hampton Directed by Lynn Nichols Feb. 13-22, University Theatre French playwright Molière’s comic masterpiece skewers religious hypocrisy, mindless piety and sexual deceit was so daring at the time of its writing that audience members could be excommunicated for seeing it. Tartuffe tells how a “man of the cloth” worms his way into the gullible heart of Orgon, a rich family man, and tries to take him for all he has. It takes a desperate trap by Orgon’s wife Elmire to expose the imposter.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

The story of Jesus of Nazareth during his final days, from the time of his arrival in Jerusalem to his crucifixion, this high-energy, immensely popular show plunges deep into the hearts of the men and women, from Judas Iscariot to Mary Magdalene to Pontius Pilate, who played a part in one of the most momentous stories ever told.

SPOTLIGHT

From silent nights to raucous revels: A brief history of Christmas music Christmas was not ranked high on the list of holidays among the founders of the Christian faith. For 300 years or so, Jesus’s followers struggled just to survive in a hostile or indifferent world.

Observant believers maintained a respectful silence around the birth of their God, since the scriptures gave no precise dates or times for the event.

Eventually, though, as opposition ebbed and the Church rose in respectability, Christmas—the mass celebrating Christ’s nativity— rose in importance. And, of course, no celebration is complete without music. In order to increase the number of believers during the darkest time of the year, church leaders sought to rebrand popular winter-solstice revels in accordance with the “new light and new life” they believed Jesus offered. The 12 days between Dec. 25 and Jan. 6 were given over to special services, songs and parties.

Christmas music at first consisted of liturgical chants alone, but by the Middle Ages, secular carols and vigorous circle dances gained currency in Europe. Things quickly became fairly raucous. The improbable appearance of a godly infant in an animal’s feeding trough gave rise to other alleged miracles. At the moment of Jesus’s birth it was said that trees suddenly bloomed and bent their bows downward. Dumb animals spoke and knelt in reverence towards Bethlehem. Birds sang throughout the night. Bells rang mysteriously in deserted caves and bees in their hives were heard to

hum Psalm 100, “Sing to the Lord a new song!”

Despite a lull in Christmas revelry in Puritan England—openly celebrating the holiday was outlawed in the North American colonies until 1681—by the 19th century Christmas was making a comeback. Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, brought Germany’s domestic Christmas customs, including decorated evergreen trees, to England along with a considerable amount of European music. The production of Christmas art, poems, stories and songs has been a growth industry around the world ever since.

Today holiday music is still created in abundant variety. Every superstar and singer wannabe, from Yoko Ono to Run DMC, feels compelled to make a seasonally appropriate (or inappropriate) recording sooner or later. “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” and “The Little Drum Machine Boy” jostle for a place on the airwaves with “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World.”

Christmastime, one suspects, will remain a season of celebration, surprise and miracles long into the future.

God rest ye merry—and peacefully—gentlemen and gentlewomen!

— Thomas Riis, director, American Music Research Center at CU-Boulder

“Angels We Have Heard on High” Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo!

“A La Nanita Nana” Nigel Flippo, Guitar Magee Capsouto, Mei-Mey Segura, violinists Holiday Festival Men’s Ensemble (Translated from Spanish) To the little baby My Jesus is sleeping Blessed He will be A little fountain that runs

Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing: Come adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord the newborn King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Traditional Spanish carol, arr. Dan Davison

Clear and sonorous.

The mockingbird who in the woods Is singing out, calls Hush, While the cradle rocks.

ABOUT THE EKLUND FAMILY OPERA PROGRAM

Recognizing the importance of the arts and live-vocal performance in an increasingly distracted world, long-time Boulder resident Paul Eklund made a generous gift in October to help establish a $2 million endowment at the CU-Boulder College of Music.

Funding from the endowment will help support three opera productions each academic year, the CU New Opera Workshop and an opera-scenes program for new students.
