We welcome you to The Sharon: a place for you to see an old favorite, but also a place to discover your new favorite. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show today, and I look forward to seeing you here again soon!

This Masterpiece is an Oratorio composed in 1741 and narrates the nativity from the texts of the sacred scriptures. This evening we will also perform two compositions by the great Viennese composer W. A. Mozart “ Ave Verum Corpus “ and “ Laudate Dominum “. We joyfully welcome Opera Orlando Chorus and our guest soloists, Julie Batman, Soprano - Emily Heumann, Alto - Nathan Munson, Tenor ad Stephen Mumbert, Bass.
Thank you for your continued support,
Maestro Pasquale Valerio Founder, Director, and Chair of The Villages Philharmonic Orchestra
PASQUALE VALERIO, MAESTRO
Pasquale Valerio is an internationally acclaimed Orchestral Conductor. In 2004 he founded The Villages Philharmonic Orchestra, became its musical director, and is still engaged in concerts and tours throughout Florida and worldwide. Maestro Valerio was also the founder of the Lake Sumter Chamber Orchestra as well as co-founder and conductor of the Florida Lakes Symphony from 2005 to 2006.
He collaborates with various European orchestras such as the Philharmonic Orchestra ‘900 of the Teatro Regio Opera in Turin, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Prague, the Virtuosi of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, the Virtuosi of the Philharmonic of Bacau, the “A. Scarlatti” Symphony Orchestra of Naples, Orchestra Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
In 2006 had the opportunity to assist Sir Antonio Pappano, current Music Director of the Royal Opera House in London This collaboration represented a great point of reference for maestro Valerio and indelibly marked his experience of conducting growth. From 2007 to 2009 he collaborated with the internationally known Viotti music festival in Vercelli, Italy and in May 2018 he began an ongoing cooperation with the North California Music Festival as guest conductor. Pasquale Valerio was born in Naples to a family linked to cultural traditions and founding religious values. The great passion for music was evident from the first years of his life, but, only towards the tenth year of age did he begin his musical studies, first with the piano, and subsequently, at the age of thirteen years, when he began studying trumpet. It is in this period that Pasquale met Maestro Filippo Veniero, an important musical guide for subsequent studies. He studied trumpet at the school of Maestro Francesco Lentini, Bari Conservatory, with whom he obtained the middle completion and, subsequently under the guidance of Maestro Diego Benedusi, he obtained the superior completion of trumpet.
After completing his trumpet studies, he collaborated as an instrumentalist with orchestras of major opera and symphonic institutions including the Opera House “Teatro di San Carlo in Naples “and with other major opera orchestras and symphonic institutions. Simultaneously he studied Composition and Score Reading at the School of Maestro Filippo Veniero.
The meeting with two conductors, J Withney and Gunther Smidth (United States) conditioned the musical journey and made it possible that in 1998 Pasquale resumed his studies started in Naples with F. Veniero. Also important was the meeting with the famous conductor Anton Coppola in 1999, who became Pasquale’s mentor and guide.
Pasquale is a guest collaborator at festivals and international competitions, including:
International Piano Competition “F. Schubert” in San Cristoforo Virtuosi of the Bacau Philharmonic, Romania, Viotti Music Festival, Camerata Ducale, Italy, Piano Festival of Carrara/Arezzo Orchestra 900’ of the Teatro Regio of Turin, Oída Symphony Orchestra (Arezzo) Philharmonic Orchestra of Benevento, New Orchestra Scarlatti and Florida Philharmonia
In the academic year 2023 he was appointed Visiting Professor of Conducting Studies at the “London Performing Arts Academy” and at the end of 2023, appointed Honor Roll of “ALTAMURA MERCADANTE FEST”.
Messiah (HWV 56) is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer.
It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.
The Messiah is George Frideric Handel’s best-known composition. It has become one of the world’s most frequently performed choral works, particularly popular during Advent season. Part I is divided into “scenes” composed of individual recitatives, in which the singer adopts a rhythm of ordinary speech, as well as arias and choruses. There are two instrumental numbers, the opening overture and the “pastoral symphony” at the mid-point of the work. The performance concludes with the jubilant Hallelujah Chorus.
Oratorio
Messiah differs from Handel’s other oratorios in that it does not contain an encompassing narrative, instead offering contemplation on different aspects of the Christian Messiah.
The oratorio’s structure follows the liturgical year: Part I corresponding with Advent, Christmas, and the life of Jesus. The birth and death of Jesus are told in the words of the prophet Isaiah, the most prominent source for the libretto. The only true “scene” of the oratorio is the annunciation to the shepherds which is taken from the Gospel of Luke. The imagery of shepherd and lamb features prominently in many movements, for example: in the aria “He shall feed His flock like a shepherd” (the only extended piece to talk about the Messiah on earth), in the opening of Part II (“Behold the Lamb of God”), in the chorus “All we like sheep”, and in the closing chorus of the work “Worthy is the Lamb “
The librettist arranged his compilation in “scenes” each concentrating on a topic.
Scene 1: “The prophecy and realization of God’s plan to redeem mankind by the coming of the Messiah”
Scene 1: “Isaiah’s prophecy of salvation” (movements 2–4)
1. “ Overture”
2. Comfort ye, Comfort ye my people
3. Ev’ry valley Shall be exalted.
4. And the Glory of the Lord.
Scene 2: “The prophecy of the coming of Messiah and the question, despite, of what this may portend for the World” (movements 5–7)
5. Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts - the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His Temple.
6. But who may abide the day of His coming.
7. And He shall purify.
Scene 3: “The prophecy of the Virgin Birth” (movements 8–12)
8. Behold, a virgin shall conceive.
9. O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion.
10. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth.
11. The people that walked in darkness.
12. For unto us a Child is born.
Scene 4: “The appearance of the Angels to the Shepherds” (movements 13–17)
13. Pastoral Symphony.
14. There were shepherds abiding in the field. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them.
15. And the angel said unto them.
16. And suddenly there was with the angel.
17. Glory to God in the highest.
Scene 5: “Christ’s redemptive miracles on earth” (movements 18–21)
18. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion.
19. Then shall the eyes of the blind be open’d.
20. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd come unto Him, all ye That labour.
21. His yoke is easy, His burthen is light.
44. Hallelujah Chorus
