DIRECTORS NOTES<br />

Welcome and thank you for coming to the <strong>Federal</strong><br />

<strong>Way</strong> <strong>Chorale</strong>'s final concert of the year. We have<br />

had a wonderful season punctuated with a great<br />

winter concert, "a better than most" performance<br />

at the choral festival at Leavenworth, and a<br />

stand-out collaboration with the Auburn<br />

Symphony. For my part, this has been a rich<br />

) and rewarding first full year.<br />

Our concert today is all American. The first<br />

half is a tribute to three composers who not<br />

only dedicated their lives to creating great<br />

choral literature, but who also faithfully<br />

served as educators throughout their<br />

distinguished careers. Randall Thompson<br />

taught music at Wellesley College, Curtis<br />

Institute of Music, the University of Virginia<br />

and Harvard; William L. Dawson taught<br />

at Tuskegee Institute; and Rene Clausen is<br />

currently a teacher at Concordia College.<br />

In light of the success each was able to achieve<br />

through their compositions, all were willing to<br />

share their talents and gifts with conductors and<br />

composers around the world, helping them learn<br />

how to bring music to life through the pen and the<br />

hand.<br />

The second half of the concert will feature the<br />

music of one of the most recognized composers in<br />

American music, George Gershwin. For Gershwin,<br />

Porgy and Bess was a true labor of love. It has been<br />

said that he "...never quite ceased to wonder at the<br />

miracle that he had been its composer, he never<br />

stopped loving each and every bar, never wavered<br />

in the conviction that he had produced a work of<br />

art." The concert version we will sing today was<br />

arranged by Robert Russell Bennett and includes<br />

some of the most beloved melodies in American<br />

", music.<br />

I thank you again for joining us today and hope<br />

that you will enjoy this great American musical<br />

tapestry.<br />

THE FEDERAL WAY CHORALE<br />

WELCOMES YOU to "<strong>Ye</strong> <strong>Shall</strong> <strong>Have</strong><br />

a <strong>Song</strong>." We hope you enjoy the music as<br />

much as we have enjoyed preparing it for<br />

you. The rhythms and melodies of "Porgy<br />

and Bess," along with the message it brings<br />

to us even today have been inspiring to the<br />

<strong>Chorale</strong>. Laird and Megan have designed a<br />

program around this masterpiece by George<br />

Gershwin that is sure to delight you all.<br />

This has been a wonderful year for the<br />

<strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>Chorale</strong>. I think it's fair<br />

to say that our December Concert was<br />

successful and presented the <strong>Chorale</strong> to<br />

the community in a new light. Since then<br />

we have participated in the Leavenworth<br />

<strong>Chorale</strong> Festival, and performed the choral<br />

portion of "The Bartered Bride" with the<br />

Auburn Symphony to rave reviews. We are<br />

looking forward to the musical challenges of<br />

our season next fall with anticipation.<br />

A great deal goes on behind the scenes<br />

before we can present a concert for your<br />

enjoyment. Everyone in the <strong>Chorale</strong><br />

deserves credit for learning the music<br />

and presenting it with enthusiasm. Phil<br />

Wilkinson, our accompanist, is simply<br />

amazing. Director Laird Thornton and<br />

Megan Oberfield, the Assistant Director,<br />

have led our rehearsals masterfully. Mary<br />

Jean McDonald and her entire crew of<br />

helpers manage the concert logistics for<br />

us. Tim Waisenan is a wonderful sound<br />

technician. There is another aspect that<br />

deserves special recognition, and that is<br />

the work done by the Board of Directors.<br />

I won't single out individuals, because<br />

every board member has put in extra hours<br />

and is dedicated to the <strong>Chorale</strong> and our musical<br />

outreach to the community. My personal and<br />

public thanks go to all of you. Naturally in an<br />

organization like this, some have done more than<br />

others. You know who you are, special thanks to<br />

you.<br />

If you or any of your friends are interested<br />

in becoming p rt of a very special musical<br />

organization which creates wonderful music<br />

while having fun, our auditions will be held<br />

Saturday, September 6 at Thomas Jefferson High<br />

School. Call 253-250-3326for an appointment<br />

- arrangements can be made for a different date<br />

if necessary. We have room in the <strong>Chorale</strong> for<br />

soloists, general chorus members, and non-singing<br />

members (no audition required!) to help with<br />

behind-the-scenes activities.<br />

I am sure you are aware that ticket sales do not<br />

cover our expenses. Please remember us when<br />

you make charitable contributions throughout<br />

the year. The <strong>Chorale</strong> is a 501 (c)(3)organization<br />

under IRSrules and tax-deductible donations may<br />

be sent to the <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>Chorale</strong>, PO Box 26182,<br />

<strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Way</strong>, Washington, 98093. You will find a<br />

pre-addressed envelope in the program for your<br />

convenience.<br />

Once again the <strong>Chorale</strong> extends its thanks to St.<br />

Luke's Lutheran Church and to the staff here for<br />

their generous hospitality. I don't know what<br />

we would do if they could no longer share their<br />

facility with us.<br />

A performance is not a concert unless there is<br />

an audience. Thank you for being a part of our<br />

concert.<br />

Life's more fun with a song and a smile,<br />
