300 days. That’s about 10 months, or 42 weeks, 7200 hours, 432 000 minutes, or 25 920 000 seconds. And that’s exactly how long it will be to the next World Choir Games in 2012.

300 days sound like a long time. Time for practising, for planning, pausing and time to have many other festivities around the world before celebrating the World Choir Games. However, those festivals are not only Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukka or the Chinese New Year, but there are also days appropriate to prepare for the World Choir Games. This is our proposed schedule to you:

October 1, 2011: Chose your repertoire for the WCG on World Music Day

December 11, 2011: Perform a first try-out-concert for your friends on World Choral Day

January 21, 2011: Make your choir converge even more, it's National Hug Day!

April 29, 2011: Learn your performance choreography on World Dance Day

And finally, Independence Day in America (July 4) will also be the Opening day of the 7th World Choir Games 2012 in Cincinnati, USA. That’s how fast it can happen!

PS: Also mark December 1 in your calendar. It’s the day of registration deadline for the World Choir Games. Find more information here.

PPS: Are you looking for more ideas to include in your repertoire? Maybe you’ll be inspired by September 19, it’s Talk-like-a-pirate-day: "15 men on a dead man’s chest – yo ho ho…"

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
