Details of the Corinthian’s Good Friday concerts and the program for the remainder of 2011 are still being finalised. If you would like to be on our mailing list, please email us at corinthiansingersofadelaide@gmail.com
Here at Corinthians headquarters we are very excited about our People’s Messiah concerts, which are coming up this weekend on the 4th and 5th of December. They’re always tons of fun and a great way to welcome the Christmas season, and all proceeds go to two worthy Adelaide charities. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the concept of a People’s Messiah, the idea is that anyone can come along armed with a score (or borrow one at the door on the way in) and then join in on the choruses. Anyone is also free to just sit back and enjoy the sound, but audience participation is encouraged! Click here for further information on dates and bookings.
As we don’t sing the full Messiah at Christmas, below is a list of the choruses that we’ll be singing this year for any particularly enthusiastic participants who would like to practise beforehand.
People’s Messiah Choruses 2010:
Chorus – And the glory of the Lord
Chorus – And he shall purify
Chorus – O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
Chorus – Glory to God
Chorus – His yoke is easy
Chorus – Lift up your heads
Chorus – The Lord gave the word
Chorus – Their sound is gone out
Chorus – Let us break their bonds asunder
Chorus – Hallelujah
Chorus – Since by man came death
Chorus – Worthy is the Lamb
Chorus – Amen
We hope to see you there!
-The Corinthians
