The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) was established in 1906 and is Australia’s oldest orchestra. It currently performs live to more than 250,000 people annually, in concerts ranging from subscription performances at its home, Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne, to its annual free concerts at Melbourne’s largest outdoor venue, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The Orchestra also delivers innovative and engaging programs to audiences of all ages through its Education and Outreach initiatives.

Sir Andrew Davis gave his inaugural concerts as the MSO’s Chief Conductor in 2013, having made his debut with the Orchestra in 2009. Highlights of his tenure have included collaborations with artists such as Bryn Terfel, Emanuel Ax, Truls Mørk and Renée Fleming, and the Orchestra’s European Tour in 2014 which included appearances at the Edinburgh Festival, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival and Copenhagen’s Tivoli Concert Hall.

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,and shall call His name Emmanuel,‘God with us’.

O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion,get thee up into the high mountain;O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem,lift up thy voice with strength;lift it up, be not afraid,say unto the cities of Judah,Behold your God.O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion,arise, shine, for thy light is come,and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For behold, darkness (Isaiah 60:2-3) Accompagnato: BassThe people that walked in darkness (Isaiah 9:2) Song: Bass

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,and gross darkness the people:but the Lord shall arise upon thee,and His glory shall be seen upon thee.And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light;and they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,upon them hath the light shined.

For unto us a child is born (Isaiah 9:6) Chorus

For unto us a child is born,unto us a son is given;and the government shall be upon His shoulder;and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,The Mighty God,The Everlasting Father,The Prince of Peace.

Sinfony

Comfort ye (Isaiah 40:1-3) Accompagnato: TenorEv’ry valley (Isaiah 40:4) Song: Tenor

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,saith your God;speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem,and cry unto her,that her warfare is accomplish’d,that her iniquity is pardon’d.The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,prepare ye the way of the Lord,make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Ev’ry valley shall be exalted,and ev’ry mountain and hill made low,the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.

And the glory of the Lord (Isaiah 40:5) Chorus

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,and all flesh shall see it together;for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Thus saith the Lord (Haggai 2:6-7; Malachi 3:1) Accompagnato: Bass

Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts;Yet once a little while,and I will shake the heav’ns and the earth;the sea and the dry land;And I will shake all nations;and the desire of all nations shall come.The Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple,even the Messenger of the Covenant, whom ye delight in:behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts.

But who may abide (Malachi 3:2) Song: Alto

But who may abide the day of His coming?and who shall stand when He appeareth?For He is like a refiner’s fire.

And He shall purify (Malachi 3:3) Chorus

And He shall purify the sons of Levi,that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

And the angel said unto them (Luke 2:10-11) Recit.: SopranoAnd suddenly, there was with the angel (Luke 2:13) Accompagnato: SopranoGlory to God (Luke 2:14) Chorus

And there were shepherds abiding in the field,keeping watch over their flock by night.

And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,and the glory of the Lord shone round about them,and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them,Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day, in the city of David,a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And suddenly there was with the angela multitude of the heav’nly host,praising God, and saying …

‘Glory to God in the highest,and peace on earth,goodwill towards men.’

Rejoice greatly (Zechariah 9:9-10) Song: Soprano

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion,shout, O daughter of Jerusalem;behold thy King cometh unto thee.He is the righteous Saviour;And He shall speak peace unto the heathen.

Then shall the eyes of the blind (Isaiah 35:5-6) Recit.: Alto He shall feed his flock (Isaiah 40:11; Matthew 11:28-29) Duet: Alto and Soprano

Then shall the eyes of the blind be open’d,And the ears of the deaf unstopped;then shall the lame man leap as a hart,and the tongue of the dumb shall sing.

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd:and He shall gather the lambs with His arm,and carry them in His bosom,and gently lead those that are with young.Come unto Him all ye that labour, come unto Him, that are heavy laden, and He will give you rest.Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him;for He is meek and lowly of heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

His yoke is easy (Matthew 11:30) Chorus

His yoke is easy, His burthen is light.

Interval 20 minutes

Part the SecondThe death, resurrection and ascension of Christ; the spreading of the Gospel.

Behold the Lamb of God (John 1:29) Chorus

Behold the Lamb of God,that taketh away the sin of the world.

He was despised (Isaiah 53:3 and 50:6) Song: Alto

He was despised and rejected of men,a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.He gave His back to the smiters,and His cheeks to them that plucked off the hair:He hid not His face from shame and spitting.

Surely He hath borne our griefs (Isaiah 53:4-5) ChorusAnd with His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5) ChorusAll we, like sheep (Isaiah 53:6) Chorus

Surely He hath borne our griefsand carried our sorrows:He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities;the chastisement of our peace was upon Him.

And with His stripes we are healed.

All we, like sheep, have gone astray,we have turned ev’ry one to his own way;and the Lord hath laid on Himthe iniquity of us all.

All they that see Him (Psalm 22:7 – Book of Common Prayer) Accompagnato: TenorHe trusted in God (Psalm 22:8 – BCP) Chorus

All they that see Him laugh Him to scorn;they shoot out their lips,and shake their heads, saying:

He trusted in God that He would deliver him:let Him deliver Him, if He delight in Him.

Thy rebuke hath broken His heart (Psalm 69:20 – BCP) Accompagnato: Tenor Behold and see (Lamentations 1:12) Song: Tenor He was cut off (Isaiah 53:8) Accompagnato: SopranoBut Thou didst not leave (Psalm 16:10) Song: Soprano

Thy rebuke hath broken His heart;He is full of heaviness.He looked for some to have pity on Him,but there was no man,neither found He any to comfort Him.

Behold, and see, if there be any sorrowlike unto His sorrow!

He was cut off out of the land of the living;for the transgression of Thy people was He stricken.

But Thou didst not leave His soul in Hell,nor didst Thou suffer Thy Holy One to see corruption.

9

Lift up your heads (Psalm 24:7-10) Chorus

Lift up your heads, O ye gates,and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors,and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory?The Lord strong and mighty;the Lord mighty in battle, The Lord of Hosts:He is the King of Glory.

Thou art gone up on high (Psalm 68:18) Song: Alto

Thou art gone up on high;Thou hast led captivity captive,and received gifts for men,yea, even for Thine enemies,that the Lord God might dwell among them.

The Lord gave the word (Psalm 68:11 – BCP) Chorus

The Lord gave the word:great was the company of the preachers.

How beautiful are the feet (Isaiah 52:7) Song: Soprano

How beautiful are the feet of themthat preach the gospel of peace,and bring glad tidings of good things.

Why do the nations (Psalm 2:1-2 – BCP) Song: BassLet us break their bonds (Psalm 2:3) Chorus He that dwelleth in heaven (Psalm 2:4 – BCP) Recit.: TenorThou shalt break them (Psalm 2:9) Song: Tenor

Why do the nations so furiously rage together:why do the people imagine a vain thing?The kings of the earth rise up,and the rulers take counsel togetheragainst the Lord and against His anointed.

Let us break their bonds asunder,and cast away their yokes from us.

He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn;the Lord shall have them in derision.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

Hallelujah (Revelation 19:6; 11:15; 19:16) Chorus

Hallelujah,for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth,Hallelujah!The Kingdom of this worldis become the Kingdom of our Lordand of his Christ;and he shall reign forever and ever,King of Kings,and Lord of Lords,Hallelujah!

There will be a short pause between Parts II and III, during which patrons are asked to remain in the auditorium.

Part the ThirdVictory over Death.

I know that my Redeemer liveth (Job 19:25-26; 1 Corinthians 15:20) Song: Soprano

I know that my Redeemer liveth,and that He shall stand at the latter dayupon the earth.And tho’ worms destroy this body,yet in my flesh shall I see God.For now is Christ risen from the dead,the first fruits of them that sleep.

Since by man came death (1 Corinthians 15:21-22) Chorus

Since by man came death,by man came also the resurrection of the dead.For as in Adam all die,even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Behold, I tell you a mystery (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) Accompagnato: BassThe trumpet shall sound (1 Corinthians 15:52-53) Song: Bass

Behold, I tell you a mystery:We shall not all sleep,but we shall all be chang’d,in a moment,in the twinkling of an eye,at the last trumpet.

The trumpet shall sound,and the dead shall be rais’d incorruptible,and we shall be chang’d.For this corruptible must put on incorruption,and this mortal must put on immortality.

Worthy is the Lamb (Revelation 5:12-13) ChorusAmen

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain,and hath redeemed us to God by His blood,to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.Blessing and honour, glory and power be unto Himthat sitteth upon the throne,and unto the Lamb,for ever and ever.

Amen.
