Concert performance December 14 &15, 2024 Music at the Cathedral Series: "A Rose In Winter" A celebration of Christmas in song and story The Choir of All Saints Cathedral, Halifax directed by Paul Halley A presentation of Margaret Race and To The Point Productions on behalf of Paul Halley and The Choir of All Saints Cathedral
'A Rose in Winter', now
in its third year, is the successor to fifteen years of A King’s
Christmas, presented while Paul Halley was director of the King’s
Chapel Choir. This in turn was the successor to fifteen years of Christmas
Angelicus concerts in Connecticut with Chorus Angelicus and
Gaudeamus, choirs Paul and his wife founded in 1992. And before that,
A Chorister’s Christmas was the celebration of the season at
The Cathedral of St. John The Divine in New York where Paul was Director
of Music. In this long tradition, a guest artist/narrator was engaged to
help select and present the readings, but this year, Halley will select
from among his choir to handle the narration of poetry and stories,
since among these accomplished singers lay the not-so-hidden talents of
actors, comedians, and poets.

Concert performance Sunday, April 2, 2023 "PASSION - Music of A Thousand Years" The Choir of All Saints Cathedral, Halifax directed by Paul Halley Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 4:00 pm The Cathedral Church of All Saints, 1330 Cathedral Lane, Halifax, NS A presentation of To The Point Productions on behalf of Paul Halley and The Choir of All Saints Cathedral ‘Passion: Music of A Thousand Years’ is a concert presentation of a millennium’s worth of stunningly beautiful choral music that will take place in Halifax on Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 4:00 pm. Directed by Paul Halley, members of The Cathedral Choir of All Saints Cathedral in Halifax will showcase choral works in a fluid choreography that will surround the audience with powerful and ethereal music, sung from various locations within the grand, landmark historic building that is the Cathedral Church of All Saints. The music presented in this concert was written at points throughout the last one thousand years in commemoration of the forty days leading up to Easter, a period in the Church year known as Lent. Over the centuries, poets and composers have taken inspiration from the biblical narratives of the Passion, the Psalms, and Old Testament prophets, to create works of astonishing depth and beauty. The dramatic power of these texts has drawn out the most exquisite music from some of the greatest musicians over the last 1,000 years. From 11th century Gregorian chant, through Tallis and Byrd, and Shaker songs and African American Spirituals, to Poulenc and contemporary composers, the works on this program represent an enormous range of expression.

December 10 and 11, 2022 Music at the Cathedral Series: "A Rose In Winter" A celebration of Christmas in song and story The Choir of All Saints Cathedral, Halifax directed by Paul Halley with guest artist, Old Man Luedecke
Christmas is back!
After a three-year hiatus, Grammy winner Paul Halley will showcase his
signature choir, The Choir of All Saints Cathedral, in a live concert
performance celebrating Christmas. Entitled “A Rose In Winter”, this
concert of song and story is a continuation of the Christmas concert
tradition at the Cathedral that Halley established in 2008 upon his
arrival in Halifax. The Cathedral Choir and Paul Halley will be joined
by guest, Old Man Luedecke, in a reprise of his 2019 appearance in the
genial role of narrator - to read and recite, to sing, and to, no doubt,
play the banjo. A two-time
Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter,
Old Man Luedecke delivers narrative-driven
folk songs with a storyteller's heart. About the choir, Paul Halley
remarks,
“This is a spectacular group of young musicians. The vibrancy and
fullness of sound and high level of musical accomplishment make this the
best choir I’ve worked with.” Saturday, December 10, 2022 at 4:00 pm St John’s Anglican Church, Lunenburg, NS Presented by Musique Royale Sunday, December 11, 2022 at 4:00 pm The Cathedral Church of All Saints, Halifax, NS Presented by All Saints Cathedral Music |

Described by the Chronicle Herald as “annual magic”, 'A King’s
Christmas', directed by Paul Halley and featuring The Chapel Choir of
The University of King's College, has become a seasonal tradition for
many Nova Scotians. Each year, the performances feature carols from the
mediaeval to the modern, as well as seasonal readings selected by a
special guest narrator. The narrator for this, the 12th concert
season, will be 'Old Man Luedecke', Nova Scotia’s Juno Award-winning
songwriter and banjo player. Old Man Luedecke is loved by audiences for
the engagin folk tunes he writes and for his off-the-cuff story-telling
in a style that is both humorous and poignant, on themes of life and
love, with a decidedly Maritime twist. Old Man Luedecke will be the
first narrator of 'A King’s Christmas' to bring both spoken word and new
music to the role!

It has been five years since the Chapel Choir last performed Bach’s magnificent 'St Matthew Passion'. Scored for double choir, double orchestra, and soloists, this masterwork tells the story of Christ’s Passion using the narrative from the Gospel of St Matthew and additional texts by Bach’s librettist, Picander. The role of the Evangelist will be sung by reknowned British tenor, Charles Daniels. The chamber orchestra, Ensemble Regale, is led by Baroque master David Greenberg and includes instrumentalists from Nova Scotia and across Canada. These performances will also feature the boy sopranos of Capella Regalis Men & Boys Choir and a line-up of stellar soloists from Canada’s early music scene. The Chapel Choir’s performances five years ago were named “the East Coast choral event of the season” by CBC Music. The University of King’s College has won a reputation for presenting world-class performances of the great Baroque masterworks right here in Nova Scotia. Please join us.
Tickets are available at
www.ukings.ca/concerts
Please note that due to a
scheduling conflict with key players, there will be no Saturday
performance of this work in Lunenburg. However, there will be a dinner
concert with the soloists, accompanied by Paul Halley, at Cecelia's
Retreat, Mahone Bay, on Friday, April 5, 2019, 6:00 pm. Please contact

Dinner'.

November 4, 2018 - Performance "Requiem" by Maurice Durufle King's at the Cathedral Series The Chapel Choir of the University of King's College Paul Halley, Director of Music Nick Halley, Music Scholar Ensemble Regale - chamber orchestra and Paul Halley, organist Sunday, November 4, 2018 5:00 p.m. (Atlantic Standard Time) Cathedral Church of All Saints, Halifax, NS This annual tribute to those who have gone before and the opening concert of the 2018-19 King’s at the Cathedral concert series featured the supremely beautiful Requiem by French composer Maurice Duruflé (1948). Duruflé dedicated the work to the memory of his father. He had grown weary of increasingly overblown settings of the Requiem text and decided to return to the original Gregorian chant as his basic thematic material. To the chant he added masterful choral and orchestral arrangements that call to the mind of the listener images of heavenly bliss deftly interwoven with a sense of human pathos and our longing for eternal peace. The Duruflé Requiem was performed with Ensemble Regale (a hand-picked chamber orchestra) and with Paul Halley as organist and Nick Halley directing orchestra and choir. The concert also featured O quam gloriosum est regnum (O how glorious is the kingdom) by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd, a setting of Timete Dominum omnes sancti ejus (Fear the Lord, all ye his saints) by Italian Renaissance composer Ascanio Trombetti, G. P. da Palestrina’s Nunc Dimittis for double choir, 20th-century English composer Benjamin Britten’s Te Deum in C, and contemporary English composer Jonathan Dove’s Into Thy Hands. ____________________________________________ |

A monumental work scored for soloists, choir, and orchestra, the Vespers foreshadowed the religious masterworks of Bach and Handel, and has earned a place in the history of western music as a revolutionary and now iconic work.
