Christmas Cantata 2013

On December 15, 2013, the CUCC choir performed the Christmas Cantata "God's Son is Born, A Christmas Cantata" published in 1964 by Peggy Hoffmann. The most recent previous performance of this work at CUCC was in 1999. Peggy and Arnold joined the United Church of Raleigh around 1950, and Arnold served as choir director while Peggy was the organist. Their children Rosemary and Ted were present for the performance on Dec. 15, 2013. The notes written by Rosemary for the occasion are available below, as well as the program for the cantata.

The recording below is edited to remove long silences between selections while choir members were repositioning themselves between selections.
