Bringing Masterpieces to Life

I love singing in a choral group that is dedicated to bringing masterpieces to life. I feel a true connection to the composer and my desire is to honor his or her intention while following the interpretations of the conductor. I am in awe that we can re-create the aural experiences of people who have long since been gone to their rewards. We participate in the timelessness of the true beauty of creation.It's always amazing to me to see a group of people,so varied in their backgrounds,occupations and means,come together focused on the goal of producing the sound.The director makes all the difference in the world to me.

Hello, Ann!

I enjoyed all that you wrote about bringing masterpieces to life - so full of truth!

I wanted to let you know about a choral program I run in Italy called "Umbrian Serenades". Here is a link to our website where you can watch a video about the program:

If you have any interest, I would certainly look forward to hearing from you. Also, if this program is not for you, do feel free to share this with people you think might enjoy a life transforming choral and cultural program.

Thank you so much and Happy 2009!!

Paulo

Hi Paul and Ann! Paul, I have been "silently" following Umbrian Serenades for a year now and I think I will try out for the summer of 2010! I live in the Philadelphia area and a good friend of mine is Holly Phares' vocal student. All the best to you guys this season! I sing with the Choral Arts Society and we are learing B Minor Mass - speaking of bringing that masterpiece to life, again!

I always feel so sad when the concert over and it is time to close my black folder and go home. I don't want this magic to ever end.

Cheers!
Inna

The Threshold Bookcast : Chapter 13 : Keys To Ascension

Chapter 13 : Keys To AscensionRahu Lüli, the teenage monk from Kõrgus, is once again the central character of the weekly instalment of the Threshold Bookcast. This time, we find the novice reminiscing as he explores unknown territory uphill, following a hunch that has occurred to him prior to the morning ritual. « « Gazing up, the apprentice had detected an odd detail. Something was decidedly wrong about the view, and it couldn't but have a meaning. Over the years, the pitch black walls of…See More

Rossini: Feminist Crusader

Taconic Opera will be presenting a fully orchestrated mass in June by the famed composer, Gioacchino Rossini, widely known for his comedic operas like The Barber of Seville and, of course, the universally recognizable overture from his opera William Tell.  However, this is not just any Mass: it has a very remarkable historical component that would be of interest to both music historians and women everywhere.  The Petite Messe Solennelle (small solemn mass) was originally written to feature…See More

Maryland Choral Society: Dona Nobis Pacem at Mount Calvary Catholic Church

May 20, 2012 from 4pm to 7pm
Ralph Vaughan Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem, written in the years just prior to the outbreak of World War II, blends the poetry of Walt Whitman with the cry for peace ("Dona nobis pacem") embodied within the Agnus Dei of the traditional Latin mass. It is a piece of tremendous drama, emotional scope, and eloquence, and it has much wisdom to offer to us and the world in which we live. The Maryland Choral Society will perform the piece in the rarely-heard version for strings and piano, a reduced…See More
