Nativity Dances

for small orchestra

Written originally in 1998, and based on some incidental music I wrote for the John Tydeman play Dawn On Our Darkness, the Nativity Dances were rescored and refined during 2020.

​

The first performance (in 1998) was by the Rugby Rococo Players to whom the work was dedicated. There are six movements each depicting a different aspect of the Christmas story: Advent, Star Rise, Pastorale, Nativity, A Journeying, Emmanuel. The first and last are based on the well-known plainsong melody Veni Emmanuel.

​

You can find Soundcloud links to each movement by clicking the titles below.
