WEATHERLY (1848-1929) JACK CASSIDY, TENOR, is a 2020 graduate of St. John’s University, where he studied under Dr. Patricia Kent. While at St. John’s, Jack was cast in two opera workshops: Meanwhile, back at Cinderella’s, cast as Prince Dimmly, and Sondheim: A Musical Revue, and cast in the musical Next to Normal as Dan. As a chorister he was a member of the St. John’s University Men’s Chorus under the direction of Dr. Axel Theimer. Jack also participated in piano, guitar, voice lessons, Johnnie Blend - the Men’s A Capella group, and sang at Student and Sunday morning Masses. During the Fall semester of his junior year he had the opportunity to study abroad in Salzburg, Austria. The following Summer, Jack returned to Europe with the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University Choral Arts Ensemble where they performed in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Jack has a love for Art Song, Opera, Folk, and has developed an interest in composition/songwriting; he has arranged several songs for his A Capella group. In addition to his music endeavors Jack enjoyed taking on a variety of student roles such as a student senator, or as a tour guide for prospective students. Having a musical family, Jack grew up surrounded by singing. Whether it was at home, in musicals during high school, or singing at church, he had the opportunity to listen and explore the music around him. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Performance, Jack will be a member of the Benedictine Volunteer Corps, where he will be spending a year in Montserrat, Spain. He hopes to make a difference in the lives of the young students at Montserrat, spreading his passion for music. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THIS SOIRÉE MUSICALE EVENT!

    A CHORAL PILGRIMAGE Vicki Peters, Artistic Director and Conductor Friday, August 7, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. St. Michael’s Lutheran Church Roseville, MN Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. St. Mary’s Chapel at St. Paul Seminary St. Paul, MN Free concerts—contributions welcome www.voxnovachorale.org Welcome from the Artistic Director Join us on a brief historical walk through choral music through the ages! The members of Vox Nova Chorale and I are excited to present to you a program of some of our favorite choral music, touching on each musical period from Medieval to Modern, including new music presented by three emerging regional composers. You will hear how Western choral music has evolved from simple chant and plainsong into often more complex harmonies and textures. The mission of Vox Nova Chorale is to champion emerging composers, conductors, and singers, giving them an opportunity to work with outstanding choral clinicians. We were fortunate to have Dr. Matthew Culloton work with the conductors, Jocelyn Hagen with the composers, and Axel Theimer and Tesfa Wondemagegnehu with the entire choir. The clinicians held private lessons, rehearsed with the choir, and offered valuable insight to hone the skills of the musicians. This summer we are proud to have singers from eight regional colleges, including Gustavus Adolphus, Century College, Bethany Lutheran, St. Olaf, Luther, Concordia, Mankato State, and Augustana. We are grateful for our experienced singers, who mentor in their sections. Our Board consists of young people learning fundraising, marketing, and arts administration. In the fall of 2014, the Chorale was honored to be featured on a Minnesota Public Radio Regional Spotlight.

  • Program October 2012 2
    PROGRAM Sonatina for Harp and Trombone Rachel Brandwein (b.1982) David Peterson, trombone Rachel Brandwein, harp I. Buoyant II. Dolce III. Majestic Composer’s Notes: This work was written for David Peterson. I enjoy the round, brassy, full sound of the trombone, and found that the harp to be an unusual, yet complimentary pairing. The Sonatine is intended to be a duet, or partnership between the instruments, not a harp accompaniment to a trombone melody line. I wrote the second movement first in this case, as lyrical melodies and more introverted sentiments seem to be my compositional comfort-zone. In the first movement I see shades of light green and white in circular and zig-zag patterns, perhaps a result of the mixed meter. The third lively movement incorporates motives from the first two movements, especially in the trombone cadenza. Águas de Março Antonio Carlos Jobim (music and lyrics) (1927-1994) Nicholas O. Raths, guitar and voice Carolyn Finley, voice "Waters of March " ( Águas de Março ) is a Brazilian song composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) in 1972. The English version performed tonight was also written by Jobim, however, if does not reflect all of the images in the Portuguese version. Both versions do not tell a story, but rather create images reflecting the rainy summer season in Brazil from December through March. "Águas de Março" is reputed to be the top Brazilian song in the early 1970's. One of the best-known performances of this song was a duet version by Jobim and Elis Regina . In Rio de Janeiro, March is the rainiest month often causing flooding in many places around the city.
