Manchester’s choirs combine
for An Autumn Celebration!
Three Manchester College choirs will present An Autumn Celebration! on
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3-4 in Wine Recital Hall.
The all-women Cantabile, the Chamber Singers and the A Cappella Choir
will perform separate programs and then unite for a finale from the
musical Man of La Mancha. Alan Chambers will conduct the smaller
choirs; Debra Lynn will conduct the A Cappella Choir.
Tickets are $5 at the door for the 7:30 performances.
Concert-goers are invited to a “Confectionary Prelude” – a dessert sale
and service auction to benefit the A Cappella Choir’s residency and
performance in May 2007 in Carnegie Hall in New York City. The event
begins at 6 p.m. in Link Gallery, adjacent to the recital hall. Services
up for bids range from babysitting to housekeeping and singing
telegrams.
Among Cantabile music for the evening: Sing Praises (Psalm 47) by
Bob Jones, the southern mountain song He’s Gone Away arranged by
Edward Jurey with a solo by Sarah Hall, and I Will be There to See
by Amy Bernon. Michael Good will accompany on piano.
Some of the music of the Chamber Singers: Il est bel st bon by
Pierre Passereau, the English folk song All Through the Night
arranged by Norman Luboff, and Put on a Happy Face by Lee Adams
and Charles Strouse. Dylan Ratliff (bass) and Toby Tobias (drums) will
join Put on a Happy Face; Lynn will join the folk song on flute.
The A Cappella Choir will perform music by Mozart, Verdi and Brahms as
