SUMMARY:A Very Vocalia Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for ‘A Very Vocalia Christmas’ as we bring the festive season to life. \nEnjoy some exceptional singing with the opportunity to sing along and welcome in the Christmas season. \nFrom the ladies who were trained and sang as girls at Bristol Cathedral\, this concert promises a high level performance not to be missed. \n\nConductor: Paul Walton\n\nAccompanist: Isaac Powell \nBar available with festive refreshments of mulled wine and mince pies\, available in advance\, during the interval and after the concert. \nDoors from 6.30pm. \nAdvance booking recommended. \n\nGuest Composer\nHelen Lloyd-Terry – Composer\nMusic has been part of Helen’s life for as long as she can remember\, and\ncomposing has become a way of bringing together some of the things\nshe loves most: poetry\, the human voice\, and the beauty of the natural\nworld.\nHer choral music is often inspired by themes of Wisdom\, creation\, love\nand the mystery of existence. She is especially drawn to words that\ninvite us to pause and wonder — and to the possibility that music can\nreach places where words cannot quite go.\nThere is a strong sense of place in much of Helen’s recent work\,\nparticularly her love of the Gloucestershire landscape. Her music seeks\nto create a space for listening\, reflection and imagination\, while\nremaining rooted in the warmth and expressive tradition of English\nmusic. \n  \nMusical Director\nPaul Walton\nPaul has recently celebrated 25 years as Assistant Organist of Bristol Cathedral\, where he is the principal accompanist for the Cathedral Choir and Director of the Cathedral Consort. He is a keen advocate of both rare and new music\, and his four CD recordings on the Regent label include 20 first recordings of music by David Bednall\, David Briggs\, Paul Bryan\, Paul Fisher\, Nicolas Kingman\, John Pickard\, Philip Wilby and Elizabeth Winters\, as well as the almost forgotten organist of Notre Dame\, Léonce de Saint-Martin. These recordings have received widespread critical acclaim\, including an Editor’s Choice in Organists’ Review\, a Star Review in Choir & Organ\, and two 4-star ratings in BBC Music Magazine. \nPaul is also active as a composer and arranger. His recent work includes an organ piece in the Oxford Hymn Settings for Organists series\, and a book of descants to 125 hymn tunes\, Descants are for Life (not just for Christmas)\, released in 2024 by Quires and Places. \nRecent projects in Bristol have included a cycle of the complete organ symphonies of Louis Vierne\, and an ongoing series of the Bach trio sonatas. This year Paul recorded the first recital on the refurbished Bristol Cathedral organ\, which is available to watch on the Beauty in Sound YouTube channel. More information can be found at paul-walton.com \n  \nAccompanist\nIsaac Powell\nIsaac is a Bristol-based organist and accompanist with longstanding links to St Paul’s Church\, Clifton. A former Senior Organ Scholar at St Paul’s\, he has performed with the University of Bristol Church Choir and is active in the wider Bristol organ community. \nIsaac currently serves as Junior Vice-President of the Bristol and District Organists’ Association and is also a Church Warden at St Paul’s. He joins Vocalia as guest accompanist for A Very Vocalia Christmas at St Paul’s Church\, Clifton.
