For this season’s program, Jung rediscovered The Bells of Santa Ynez by Paul Weston. It is a well-loved work that was inspired during Weston’s first visit here, and it boasts more than sixty years of history in the Santa Ynez Valley. The night all the Church bells rang marked the ninth time that the full musical work with all fourteen numbers was performed in Solvang during its traditional Danish Days celebration. It is the inspiration for the program’s “Christmas Bells” concert theme. It's a special piece with memories shared by several longtime Chorale members; some of whom sang on the recording and performed it live here decades ago. $20
