Message from the Music Director

Dear Chorale,

As December approaches we are nearing the home stretch of our concert preparation. I believe we are in great shape, especially the Handel. The Bach continues to improve with each rehearsal, and there is no reason to think that will cease. That said, your continued attention to every detail in the score is critical, and I thank you in advance for that.

Thank you for the read-through of the carols this past Monday. Even though this moment in the concert is intended to let the audience participate with the performers (and shine!), I was underwhelmed by my choice to have you sing only in unison. Please be prepared for additional instructions on singing harmony. Sopranos – there will definitely be descants for you on all four selections.

Jack
