The Musical:
The Canticle Singers is proud to present "The Gift Goes On", a Christmas musical to ring in the season of giving. The musical is an anthology of Christmas music and centres on the essence and substance of a gift as well as the giver and will be staged as a benefit concert for St Nicholas Home, Penang.
The musical offers a few traditional carols and then forges ahead with new Christmas compositions and arrangements by contemporary composers such as Michael W Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, Tony Guerroro and others. The repertoire offers spirited and high energy numbers, soulful and contemplative moments, nostalgic melodies, inspiring duets and rousing anthems. Some of the rich offerings include the dulcet a cappella strains of "The First Noel" and "O Holy Night"; a rhythmic "Little Drummer Boy" juxtaposed with the chorus of "Bearing Gifts in regal fashion; the expressive and moving duets of "Breath of Heaven" and "The Prayer" and the majestic anthems of "The Christmas Gloria Medley" and "Light of the Stable". Come and enjoy this splendid collection of Christmas music. Soloists include: Agnes Yeow, Timothy Ooi, Praveen Abraham, Low Tze Liang (Sitiawan ACS Class of '96), Cheah Jan-Mie, Amanda Tham, Chang Yow Keong, Benny Liew Seong Hin (Sitiawan ACS Class of '94) and Anson Ong (Sitiawan ACS Class of '89).
Conceived in 1992, The Canticle Singers is as an advanced and interdenominational vocal group comprising members who share a commitment to work hard and a passion for music that will encourage, inspire and challenge. Members come from diverse backgrounds and share a common commitment and discipline. The group strives to offer opportunities for singers to improve and advance their skills and at the same time seeks to enrich and widen the scope of our heritage, promote a keener appreciation of music and the performing arts and contribute towards a more artistically sensitive and vibrant community. The Canticle Singers was nominated for the Best Group Performance – Voice, in 2004 for "Do You Hear the People Sing?"; under the Boh Cameronian Awards .
St Nicholas Home
St Nicholas Home, Penang is an institution serving the visually challenged throughout Malaysia. Founded. in 1926 originally to care for abandoned children in various hospitals, today St Nicholas Home offers a wide range of services to the visually challenged including the provision of independent living skills or to prepare them to be independent visually challenged parents.
St Nicholas Home often finds itself taking in the most acute cases, which are too difficult for the other homes or centers to handle. In addition the home is the only one of its kind which is equipped to care for children with more than one disability e.g. the blind and deaf. St Nicholas also provides and operates the only retirement facility in Malaysia for the blind as most of the older blind people tend to be single and therefore have nobody to see to their needs in their senior years. Approximately 70% to 80% of the residents of the home are Malays with the remainder comprising mainly Indians and with small percentage of other races.
