Christmas Music Production Recreates Birth of Christ Child in Bethlehem Creating the illusion that each person in attendance is actively witnessing the birth of the Christ Child, is the hope of David Thorsen who will direct this season’s "Festival of Lights” production. Thorsen will direct the A Cappella Choir, Madrigal Singers and Choir in the Pasadena City College Music Department’s annual Christmas concert. The production will be presented December 5 during the assembly period and the evening of December 7 at 8:15 in Sexson Auditorium. The three organizations will combine their talents and sing musical numbers from the "Messiah” by Handel, in addition to Christ¬ mas carols of many lands. A pageant depicting the story of the birth of the Christ Child will also be presented. Narrator Tom Hageman will introduce the portions of the pro¬ duction and serve as master of ceremonies. Bruce Remsberg, soloist of the musical production, will sing an aria from the "Messiah” en¬ titled “But Who May Abide the Day of His Coming.” Beverly Martin will accompany the soloist. Christmas carols which will be heard at the "Festival of Lights” are “Sing We Noel,” "Carol of the Drum,” "Ya Viente la Vieja,” “Fum, Fum, Fum.” The male portion of the choir will sing the early Christian Georgian chants. During the presentation, the house lights will dim and the choir members will light their candles and proceed down the aisle singing “Oh Come All Ye Faithful.” The stage setting for "Festival of Lights” is being designed by art instructor William Enking and his students. It will suggest Byzantine style and feature an adaption from- a very early Christian service. Special costumes for the musical production are to be designed and created by Eugene Bullard and the costume design class.
