Los Robles Master Chorale (LRMC), one of Southern California's premier choirs, caps the holiday season with "A Joyful Noise!" , a family-friendly concert led by Artistic Director Lesley Leighton showcasing John Rutter's ebullient Gloria and a LRMC-commissioned world premiere by Jasper Randall , as well as holiday gems and favorite Christmas carols!
The three-movement Gloria, an evergreen brimming with freshness, is noted for its sheer beauty and was described by Rutter himself as “a bright Latin-flavored fiesta.” The 105-voice chorus also performs Printz’s Sing with Joy, Sing Noel!; Burt’s Some Children See Him, Mendelssohn’s Weihnachten, Op. 79, No. 1; Ruth Morris Gray’s No Room, No Room; and three works by Shawn Kirchner – Bright Morning Stars, Brightest and Best and Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming. Adding to the festive musical cheer are exquisite arrangements of such beloved carols as O Little Town of Bethlehem, Little Drummer Boy, Do You Hear What I Hear and Hark, The Herald Angels Sing !
