Voix de Femmes – Cérémonies

In the organizer's words:

The female voice ensemble Voix de Femmes performs the brilliant choral work "Ceremony of Carols" by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976). On his return to London on a merchant ship in 1942, Britten fled from fear and cold to compose crystal-clear harmonies, furious vocal confusion and unforgettable melodies. A firework display of Britten's genius! Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) dedicated "Vier Gesänge mit Harfe und zwei Hörnern, op. 17" to his Hamburg women's choir - with texts from the literary Romantic period. The rare accompaniment evokes symbols of aeolian winds and the forest.

Conductor: Rémi Laversanne, harp: Swantje Wittenhagen. With works by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) Ceremony of Carols, Rémi Laversanne (1971*) DeKonStruKTion and La cloche du soir, Louis Aubert (1877-1968) Les cloches, Arr. for women's choir, harp and 2 horns by R.
