A heart is
commonly considered the universal symbol of love. This Christmas, The Lydians’
programme, using the motif of hearts, will take the audience through four
musical transitions - ‘The Broken Heart' representing the troubled but lifted
spirit of those who may have faced challenges in 2013; The Holy Heart will be a
tribute to the mother of Christ, the Holy Mary; The Festive Heart will be a
100% ‘Trini’ Christmas segment; and the finale, The Joyful Heart, will be the joyous
expression of Love at Christmas time!
The Lydian
Steel Ensemble will be featured performing the George Philipp Telemann Overture
in E Minor in their signature Baroque style and will also accompany the choir's
many Christmas performance favourites. Astra Noel, Cello pannist with the Lydian
Steel will also debut two eagerly awaited song compositions, "Await That
Star" and "All I want for Christmas, Is a Pan Man".
Our highly-
cherished guest conductors, Victor Prescod and Lorraine Granderson, have been
working with the choir over the last few months. Our faithful accompanist is
Lindy- Ann Bodden- Ritch. A special arrangement of Relator's "Let's Be
Friends" and Parang choruses will be led by noted local composer John
Jacob. Also featured will be "At Christmas Your Heart Goes Home"
specifically custom-arranged for the Lydians by Sian Carlin(dec.) and written
by local song composer Everard Leon.
The Lydians tradition
of collaborations continues with a first-time performance of the musical duo,
Freetown Collective, comprising Lou Lyons and Muhammad Muwakil. Muwakil, who
was first introduced to a Lydian audience by former musical director Dr. Pat Bishop(dec.),
will also voice the narration for the programme, taking the audience through
the four transitions of the Hearts. The Lydian family expands even further with
the collaboration of the Lydian Men with the QRC Chorale for a spectacular
combined, all-male chorus of the"Ave Maria". The Lydian men will
further shine with a special segment entitled "From Eddie, With Love"
featuring renowned Trinidad and Tobago Tenor, Edward Cumberbatch.
