Here we go for Opus 14

Dear Consort Singers,

Ariel Quintana's MASS FOR TWO WORLDS brings Argentinian rhythms to the traditional mass in a fresh and inspiring way. Orchestrated for chamber instruments and piano, Ariel's MASS will be the centerpiece for our 2007 summer concert (those expecting the Vivaldi DIXIT will be satisfied at a later date).

Important news flash: plans are underway for a joint chorale tour (Santa Clarita Master Chorale and Consort Chorale) in mid to late June of 2008 to Prague-Vienna-Bratislava-Budapest (details to follow separately). Our repertoire this year is selected in part to prepare for that tour.

The theme is "American Composers," so this summer we will sing Hogan's "Battle of Jericho", Stroop's "Amor de me Alma", Ellingboe's "Be Music Night" and Bock's "Scarborough Fair." We will also include some gems from our past that both groups have sung, such as Whitacre's "Lux Arumque", Helvey's "O Lux Beatissima", Lauridsen's "O Nata Lux", Gawthrop's "Sing Me to Heaven", Petker's "Give Me Words", and Orban's "Daemin Irrepit Callidus."

Notice of Board Meeting:

August 13, 2007 - Round Table Pizza: Great "meeting" with record attendance. Preliminary calculations look good for being able to pay all 2007 expenses providing we sell at least $2100 in tickets. We decided to again offer our 2-for-1 deal to new listeners who otherwise might not attend.
