Let the Spring Season Begin!
Hi all…
The excitement builds! I’ve just finished recording the practice CD’s for the Cherubini Requiem and I have to say that it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written! I think it’ll be very fun to sing – difficult, yes, but fun.
Our first rehearsal is Thursday, Feb. 18th at 6:30 PM at the Truro Community Center (Rt. 6 and Standish Way, North Truro). We ask for $20 “dues” each “semester” to help pay for musical scores and other things. [I’m doing this a little earlier than usual because James and I are off on Wednesday for a choral conference in Philadelphia and not home until the 15th.]
You’ll be happy to know that I hear from both Henry Fischer and John Marshall that they’re doing well.
I’m planning on giving some singing workshops this spring that I’ll give you information about anon. In the meantime, there are several Chorale members who give voice lessons so I thought I’d pass their names and numbers along for those who are interested.

There’s a local fellow named Jake Fink who’s shooting a film
locally and would like volunteers to sing in a scene to be shot on Feb. 13th
at 1030 AM at St. Mary of the Harbor church. He can be reached at 646-391-0876 or jake51@hotmail.com I understand
you’ll get free lunch, a credit in the film and fame!
I’m
greatly looking forward to seeing you on Feb. 18. Until then…
Stay
warm!
Jon

You can actually see the score of the Cherubini Requiem and hear it at the same time. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDw3Zd3BjH8&feature=related – all six movements are here. Then go to “file” and choose “new window” and go to http://www2.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Requiem_in_C_Minor_%28Luigi_Cherubini%29 and you’ll find the score! Have fun. I especially love the second movement – very exciting “Dies Irae”!!!
