MANSFIELD, PA\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Area singers are invited to join the Mansfield University Festival Chorus for the 2014-15 season. The Chorus,\"Festival<\/a> directed by Peggy Dettwiler, will meet on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. in Steadman Theatre beginning Tuesday, August 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Festival Chorus will perform in the annual Choral Collage in Steadman Theatre on Sunday, October 26 at 2:30 p.m., along with the Women’s Chorus, Men’s Chorus, and the Concert Choir.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The program will include a variety of musical styles including folk and spiritual arrangements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenneth Dake, director of music at New York City\u2019s Marble Collegiate Church, will be the guest composer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Festival Chorus will perform his setting of Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing<\/em> and the Concert Choir will premiere his original composition, Further Goals<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The theme for the annual holiday choral concerts on December 5, 6 and 7 is \u201cLo, How a Rose.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hundreds of musical compositions have references to what some believe is the most perfect flower, including sacred works based upon the scripture, Isaiah 35:1. The most famous is the Praetorius setting of Lo, How a Rose e\u2019er Blooming<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Craig Hella Johnson has woven this melody and text into a composition that also incorporates the popular song by Amanda McBroom called The Rose<\/em>, which will be sung by the Festival Chorus. The finale promises to be thrilling with combined choirs, brass, percussion, and organ in a work by Glenn Rudolph, The Dream Isaiah Saw<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A snowy, peaceful backdrop will set the stage for concert.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The choral literature for the Festival Chorus singers this fall is Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing<\/em>, Tennessee Harmony, arranged by Ken Dake, Libiamo ne\u2019 lieti calici <\/em>(Drinking Song) by Giuseppe Verdi, Erev shel shoshanim<\/em> by Josef Hadar and arranged by Jack Klebanow, the traditional spiritual Sit Down Servant<\/em> arranged by Linda Twine,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul Basler\u2019s Alleluia<\/em>, There is No Rose of Such Virtue<\/em> by John Joubert, Craig Hella Johnson\u2019s Lo, Wow a Rose\/The Rose<\/em> and The Dream Isaiah Saw<\/em> by Glenn Rudolph.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants will need purchase their music at the MU Campus Bookstore before the first rehearsal. It will be available after August 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Festival Chorus members are also welcome to participate with the Concert Choir on selections for Men’s and Women’s choruses. These rehearsals are held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. for women and 8 p.m. for men. Singers are not required to be part of any other ensemble to be a member of the Festival Chorus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the spring semester, the Festival Chorus will perform its annual major choral concert.<\/strong><\/p>\n
