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 />
