Rinn United Methodist Church to Present Rare 1895 Christmas Cantata
This holiday season, Rinn United Methodist Church invites you to experience a musical gem from the past with its presentation of the rare and unique Christmas cantata, The Prince of Peace. Composed in 1895 by the esteemed composer Emma Louise Ashford, this timeless piece is set to enchant audiences with its rich history and beautiful harmonies.
Despite its historical significance and past acclaim, The Prince of Peace has no existing recordings today, making this performance a rare treat for music lovers and history enthusiasts alike. The music for this special performance was discovered tucked away on a back shelf in a closet in the church’s choral library. “When I played through the score I couldn’t help but be charmed by it,” says Rinn’s pianist and choir director Anneke Toomey. “It’s this lovely little sacred operetta in a classical European style, but some elements are distinctly American.”
E. L. Ashford, a child prodigy who became an internationally known classical composer of the late Romantic era, wrote between 600 and 700 works including hymns, anthems, song cycles, and hundreds of organ pieces. The Prince of Peace was among her early works, written in 1895 at the encouragement of Edmund S. Lorenz, who had recently founded Lorenz Publishing Company (now Lorenz Corporation). Ashford’s contributions as an editor, arranger and composer played a key role in the company’s success over the next 36 years. This, her first cantata, was evidently popular, as its copyright was renewed in 1923, and it was later published in a version for three parts in 1940.
When the music was handed out to the Rinn Choir this year, several singers discovered printed bulletins inside their folios, left there from the last time the church presented this cantata back in 1948. Two current choir members, brother and sister Scott and Shelly Anderson, recognized the name of the soprano soloist: their grandmother, Mrs. Helen Anderson. The Andersons, who are accomplished singers in their own right, will both sing solos in the December 2024 performance.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a living history experience and to enjoy the beautiful music of an era gone by. The Cantata will be presented during worship Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the Rinn United Methodist Church, 3783 Bella Rosa Parkway, Fredrick, Colorado 80504
