Winter Choir Concert Review
On Tuesday, December 15th was the annual winter choir concert, which was held at 7pm in the Rose Street Theater. The choir had been practicing their songs with all they’ve got, and their hard work paid off. This year there was a major change in the choir department, and that would be the new choir teacher, Pam Nordquist, when asked how the choir classes did with the rehearsals Nordquist told us “ With the many wonderful songs chosen by none other than Mrs.Nordquist for the winter concert, it seemed right to ask how some of the students felt about them. This is what one of the concert choir students had to say “ Having the perspective of one who was in the show after all the hard work they put into learning everything, is great to have so

    Experiencing these 2 operas, I was able to comprehend the incredible talents of the Auburn University’s Department of Music Opera Workshop performers. Each performance allowed the performers to showcase their vocal talents greatly; as well as showing their strict practicing by knowing the vocal queues with the music as well as with each other to never sound off or un-synced with each other.…

    As the voices of this amazingly blended SAB choir rang out a melody of beauty and sweet serenity. The work they had all put in was defiantly present. I was impressed at the pureness and the strength of the choir. They started with an old syncopated composition called “American folk Rhapsody”. The secular piece had an upbeat rhythm and was voiced with SAB parts accompanied by a piano. Written in the key of F the composition was sung and played in a major mode. On this piece the choir blended very nicely except for a few spots here and there. Overall the ensemble seemed to really enjoy singing this music.…

    The fourth through eighth grade choristers enter onto the risers on the stage in organized rows, hands at their sides, shoulders back and aligned with nervous smiles across their faces. This is the students first time being adjudicated The auditorium is full of other students, teachers, and adjudicators from around the city ready to hear the product of weekly after school rehearsals throughout the school year. The chorus director looks around the auditorium and counts five former music instructors and the nostalgia of being that fourth-eighth grader on stage with those instructors floods the director's mind. She smiles, bows to the audience, turns, and gives a reassuring thumbs up to the bright, developing musicians in front of her.…

All the audiences think very highly of them.…

When she was in high school her conductor, Lee Carlson, was a male teacher but she remembers him always pushing her to do what she wanted to do in life. He fueled her passion for choir with the passion he put into his choir groups. He was her role model in high school and even now because he is a big part of why she choose to be a choir…

    On December 1 I returned to the beautiful Max M & Marjorie S Fisher Music Center to hear the renowned jazz singer Dianne Reeves Christmas Time is Here performance. My seat was far higher than the last time I went but luckily my height proved to be useful to see the stage. Running late, the announcer came out and told us his experience with Dianne and the wonderful performance we were about to see. After that the pianist Peter Martin, bassist Reginald Veal, guitarist Romero Lubambo, and drummer Terreon Gully came out to the stage and started set up. They started playing their own warm up melody's, each melody similar in tone and rhythm and as they continued, I realized they were playing a song,…

    A loud “whoosh” echoes throughout the dark distant auditorium, and in an instant huge gleaming lights lower themselves upon the stage. The stage sits empty, lifeless, waiting, listening..listening for one to drop jaws with their all-knowing Mozart Symphony or disappoint with a piece that has no rhythm. With each day a new audience gathers around to join the stage in listening. To some it just may be a song, but to others it is a message, a chapter, a story. A story that throws all of life's up’s, all of life's downs. All of it’s good days, it’s bad days. Everything described on one sheet of paper.. But ultimately that was the audience's choice. The stage waited each day for the next performer, for the next song..With each passing person a new song, a new story told, and here is mine.…

    A Choral Tapestry

    • 1759 Words

    It seems that versatility was one of choir director Dr. Charles Clency’s focuses when he picked out the repertoire. The program of the event reads: “A Choral Tapestry. A blend of choral genres: mass, madrigal, oratorio, opera, musical theatre, pop, spirituals, gospel…” and the list goes on. There was versatility even within the choirs themselves. For instance, the first six songs were sung by the Choir of Lake County, but the first four pieces were sung in Latin, French, Russian, and Italian, with mezzo soprano Sheila Bondurant singing Carmen’s solo in Habanera, while the last two were excerpts from the musicals The Phantom of the Opera and Oklahoma. This is quite the contrast. I’ll admit, at first the concert was slow. This could be because of my own preconceived notions on how the concert was going to play out, or it could have been that my preconceived notions were true. The following group caught my attention a little bit better, which was the all-women’s choir who sang a dreamy French piece called Clair de Lune, which translates to “moonlight” in English. Notions of leaving pervaded my thoughts up until the Chamber Singers…

    “Still I Rise”, by Rosephanye Powell, was the first collegiate choir concert that I have ever attended. I enjoyed the Ball State University Women’s Chorus as well as the Mt. Vernon High School Expressions Women’s Choir. Additionally, I loved that they combined choirs to perform “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” and “Still I Rise”. I chose to report on “Still I Rise” due to the lyrics of the song and the solo performances. This piece inspired me to persevere through life’s difficulties, especially because it was Women’s Week at Ball State University.…

    What is choir life all about? Well I can tell you that it is more than classical music and tuxedoes! Choir is a great group to join, and it is a great way to make friends and have fun. I know all of this because I sang in my church choir and high school choir for years, and with that experience I can tell you the truth about choir. However, many people have their own ideas about choir that are mostly untrue. They have various reasons of why they believe the many things that are untrue, but I’m here to clear the air. Most of our population believe that choir consists of, opera music, boring activities, and opera music; however, choir is actually full of excitement,…
