Keele University Chapel 
Papagena by Candlelight 

Programme: The Darkest Midnight  

The Darkest Midnight is a sublime collection of songs for winter from the Middle Ages to the modern era embracing the secular and the sacred. Casting a dark glamour all of its own, the bleakness of winter has prompted some of the most bewitching, brittle and bright songs. Alongside traditional Christmas anthems can be found legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell’s The River in an achingly melancholic arrangement and American composer Don Macdonald, whose When the Earth Stands Still is movingly poignant and still, twilit and shining. Celebratory songs marking the Christmas season are heard alongside lilting Irish songs and music from England, Germany and Spain.
