If a wise man builds his house upon a rock, I, fool, am like a gliding river which follows no straight path. I am swept away like a pilotless ship, like a bird floating aimlessly through the air. No fetters, no locks hold me; I am looking for my like, and I join the depraved. The burdens of the heart weigh too heavily on me. Jesting is lovely and sweeter than the honeycomb. What Venus commands is suave labor; love never dwells in cowardly hearts. On the broad road I move along as youth is wont to do. I am entangled in vice, and unmindful of virtue. Greedy more for lust than for welfare; dead in soul, I care only for my body.

“Brahms and waltzes! The two words stare at each other in positive amazement on the elegant title-page. The serious, taciturn Brahms, North-German, Protestant, and unworldly as he is, writes waltzes!”

Thus the words of the Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick, as he reacted with delight to the composer’s earlier set of waltzes for piano duet, op. 39. Hanslick’s comments are a bit disingenuous when one considers that waltzes, particularly those produced by the Strauss family, were universally loved by the Viennese, and at all levels of society. Even Wagner, who looked upon any contemporary composer as a potential rival, had high words of praise for the dances of Johann Strauss. Brahms’s own feelings were clearly shown at a ball he was attending. Strauss’s wife, Frau Adele, asked him to autograph her fan. Brahms wrote out the opening notes of the Blue Danube Waltz, followed by the words, “unfortunately not by Brahms.” That is high praise indeed.

In 1879 Brahms published his Liebeslieder-Waltzer. At the time he was composing them, he was also engaged in editing some of the dance music of Schubert, particularly his Ländler, and one can hear echoes of the earlier composer’s music. The texts that Brahms chose consist of eighteen Eastern European folk poems, drawn from a collection of poems called Polydora by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875). Although Brahms deferred to his publisher to have the set published as a piano duet “with optional chorus,” there is little doubt that the composer intended it as a vocal work from the start. The piece works just as well with a solo quartet as with a full chorus, depending on its venue, whether as chamber music or in a concert hall.

Much of what we know about the more profane aspects of Medieval life comes to us from the manuscript of Carmina Burana (“Songs of Beuren”) which was discovered at the monastery of Benedikbeuren in 1803 and published in 1847. This collection of poems was probably written and collected around 1230 in Carinthia (now Kärnten, the area around Salzburg and eastern Bavaria). It includes moral-satirical poems, love poems, and poems of camaraderie and drinking. These verses were written variously by foot-loose monks, out-of-work clerics, and hell-bent students. The members of this motley crew called themselves the Ordo Vagorum (Guild of Wanderers) and fabricated as their founder and patron saint an imaginary individual called Golias. “These ,” fulminated the Council of Salzburg in 1281, “go about in public naked, lie in bake ovens, frequent taverns, games, harlots, earn their bread by their vices, and cling with obstinacy to their sect.” More to the point, many of the poems of these self-styled Goliards are mocking in tone and are brutally frank in pointing out the defects and injustices of the Medieval Church and State; thus it is not surprising that the Goliards frequently ran afoul of those in authority. Although Carmina Burana is an unabashedly secular work, one senses the pervasive presence of the Medieval Church hovering behind the caprine verses, for irreverence is pointless without Faith. As G. K. Chesterton says, “Wherever you have belief you will have hilarity, where you have hilarity you will have some dangers.”

Carl Orff (born 1895 in Munich, died there in 1982) chose twenty-four of the poems for his scenic cantata. Its complete title is: Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis (“Songs of Beuren; Profane Songs to be Sung by Singers and Chorus, and Accompanied by Instruments and Magical Images”). Orff began work on the piece in 1935 and completed it in time for its premiere two years later in Frankfurt. The Fine brass music work was originally staged as a Medieval mystery play, with costumes, dancing and pantomime. for festive occasions The Cantata opens with the FORTUNA chorus, describing fate as a wheel that brings cruelty and prosperity by turns. This is followed by the section entitled PRIMO VERE (In Springtime), a sound- Horizon Brass Quintet picture of the season of rebirth. Within the Spring section are the dance scenes UF DEM ANGER (On the Lawn), which incorporate actual Bavarian folk dances. Bruce Daugherty 847-902-6476 After the peasant Spring feast comes IN TABERNA (In the Tavern), the most theatrical and orgiastic part of the work, with singers singing drunken psalmody in falsetto voices, parodying the excesses of Italian opera. The Full Service Salon for Women & Men The opening of Part Three, COUR D’AMOURS (The Court of Love) has a freshness and directness that contrasts with the sensuality of the preceding section. The dance-song “Tempus est jocundum” leads into the Dionysiac BLANZIFLOR ET HELENA, an appeal to Venus, the Goddess of Love. The Coiffeur Copenhagen work closes with a repeat of the FORTUNA chorus. Hair-cuts, Perms, Styling, Coloring, Highlighting, Lowlighting, Nails Face & Body Waxing Today’s performance presents the work in concert version, with Orff’s orchestra reduced to two 847-475-6515 Hours: pianos and percussion – a reduction the composer himself authorized for scaled-down performances. 847-864-8300 MON-FRI 5:30AM-7:00PM As a postscript, let me relate the circumstances surrounding a performance of Carmina presented a 2018 Central Street, Evanston SAT 5:30AM-4:00PM few years ago at a fundamentalist Southern college that I shall refrain from naming. The music students there were considerably more worldly than were the more pious members of the administration, and naturally the choristers were quite aware of what the piece is all about. Through a convenient and carefully engineered “misunderstanding” at the print shop, the English translation inserts for the program were not ready in time for the performance. Deluded by the respectable- WWW.THEKITCHENWARRIOR.COM sounding Latin and its association with church liturgy, the profoundly devout audience sat through the performance, insensible to the revels lurking behind the words. Afterwards, the rectors Conquer the Room You Fear the Most complimented all concerned on the fervor and uplift of the performance. A good time, as they say, was had by all. Copyright © 2006 by Donald Draganski During its seventy years, the North Shore Choral Society has counted among its singers a number of married couples. Here are three of those couples who are current NSCS members.

Judy and Dave Taylor have sung in choruses since they were first married, beginning in the North Shore Baptist Church and later in the North Shore Choral Society, where they served in various positions before becoming president (Dave) and treasurer (Judy). (The word went out that if the Taylors ever took an expensive vacation, call in the auditors.) Due to time constraints, the Taylors dropped out—but returned in 2000 and have been singing ever since. They are also members of the choir at Evanston’s First Presbyterian Church. )NSPIRING%XCELLENCE After graduating from Denison University with a major in French, Judy moved to Chicago, where she was secretary to the Associate Dean at Northwestern University #ELEBRATING)NDIVIDUALITY Medical School. She met Dave four years later by following her mother’s advice to “go to church; you’ll meet a nice young man.” A native Chicagoan, Dave received #OLLEGEPREPARATORYEDUCATIONSINCE degrees in chemistry from North Park University and the University of Chicago. He then taught chemistry at Evanston Township High School for 38 years and invested *UNIOR+INDERGARTENTHROUGH'RADE in real estate on the North Shore. The Taylors have a daughter, who is a doctor, a son, who is an electrical engineer, and three grandchildren. Dave’s enthusiasm for automobiles has led to leadership in several car clubs (for example, he’s chairman of the USA Mid-West Region of the Bentley Drivers Club); Judy helps out with the administrative details.

When their families moved just a block away from each other in a Philadelphia ,INCOLN3TREET %VANSTONN  NWWWROYCEMORESCHOOLORG suburb, Betsy and Bruce Gladfelter first became acquainted. They began dating in high school and continued throughout college in spite of an hour and a half commute between Trinity College in Hartford (Bruce) and Connecticut College in New London (Betsy). Both sang with their high school and college choirs. Since neither Trinity nor Tim Murphy Connecticut was co-ed at that time, each enjoyed concerts with other colleges in the area: PRESIDENT Bruce with Wellesley, Smith, Mount Holyoke and other women’s schools, and Betsy with Yale and Trinity (though Bruce had already graduated). They began singing with the North Shore Choral Society in 1990; for the past two years, Bruce has been in charge of major mailings to NSCS patrons.

After coming to the Midwest in 1964, Bruce completed his graduate work at the University Cease & Paul Giddings of Chicago and joined the University of Illinois-Chicago as a professor of geography and anthropology. In 1999, he retired after serving as the head of the Department of Geography 1 Tim Murphy Carpentry, Inc 1310 /2 Chicago Avenue for seven years. Betsy is still active as a realtor with Coldwell Banker in Wilmette.
