  • 2001 Distinguished Artist
    DaleWarland 2001 Distinguished Artist the mc knight foundation Introduction horal music is perhaps the most ubiquitous American art form, performed in and out of tune by school and church choirs in every city, town, and rural outpost. But choral music in the Dale Warland style—elegant, moving, provocative, sublime— is rare. Few professional choruses exist in the United States today; even fewer exhibit the quality of the Dale Warland Singers. Warland’s decision to establish his career in Minnesota has brought countless rewards to musicians and audiences here. As a collaborator with local music organizations, a commissioner of Minnesota composers, a conductor of Ceagerly anticipated concerts, and a recording artist, Warland has made Minnesota a national center of choral music. In so doing, he has kept an ancient tradition alive and relevant. Be sure to hear for yourself on the commemorative CD recording inside the back cover of this book. To achieve so much, an artist must have high expectations of himself and others. There is no doubt that Warland is demanding, but always in a way that is warm, human, and inspiring—that makes people want to do their best. Person after person who has been associated with Warland mentions his modesty, his quiet nature, his thoughtfulness, and his support. He leads by example. The McKnight Foundation created the Distinguished Artist Award to honor those whose lasting presence has made Minnesota a more creative, more culturally alive place. Dale Warland has conducted his Singers and others all over the world. He is internationally recognized as one of the masters of choral music.

  • Dale Warland Interviewed by Peter Myers at Landmark Center, Saint Paul, July 10, 2008
    Dale Warland Interviewed by Peter Myers at Landmark Center, Saint Paul, July 10, 2008 Q Just a little bit about your childhood musical experience – what was it like in your home or your school or church growing up? What was your musical activity at an early age? A I grew up on a farm in Iowa and all our relatives were farmers and closest friends, of course, were farmers. But music was very important in that entire community – in schools and churches, in the homes. Music was very important to my family. They were very amateur in their approach and their experience. My mother played piano to some degree. My father was a self-taught trombonist and played in a band. But the school, the little country school – I went to a one- room schoolhouse, as well as our church in a village about 3-1/2 miles away, was really our cultural center. In the church, music was very important. We happened to have a very dynamic, talented organist and choirmaster who inspired everyone. She was a brilliant musician but also had a charismatic personality that just inspired everyone that came in touch with her. In our little country school, one-room schoolhouse, we sang every day. In my case I must have had a very loud voice because the teacher would put the 7, 8 other students on one side of the room and me on the other and we would sing canons and rounds as well as folksongs and hymns. But every day we had a portion of the time spend in music, singing.

This is the third conference held in St. Paul, primarily because of its large number of lovely college campuses. The 75 members of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Harp Society have been preparing this conference for three years and sincerely hope we can make your visit comfortable, educational, and inspiring. St. Paul is the Capitol City of Minnesota and as such has much history behind it. The Sioux Indians lived in what is now the St. Paul area long before white people arrived. In 1819 the United States Army established Fort St. Anthony in a temporary building. Between 1820 and 1822, American soldiers under Colonel Josiah Snelling built Fort St. Anthony as a permanent fort. The fort covered a large area on the West Bank of the Mississippi River and soon attracted settlers.

  • Research Memorandum Series
    No. 213 Winter/Spring 2020 Research Memorandum Series Journal of The American Choral Foundation, published by Chorus America | Matthew Bumbach, Editor or the past three years I have shared great choral repertoire with my fellow conductors as the editor of Chorus America’s Research Memorandum Series. It Fis a privilege to work with scholars from around the United States to identify significant composers, compile exhaustive lists of their works, and create concise biographies to accompany those lists. It is my hope that these repertoire lists stand as essential resources to aid conductors as they program compelling concerts. Fur- thermore, I strive to amplify the voices of composers whose works may be overlooked through this publication. Minnesota-based composer Carol Barnett may be best recognized for her dozens of compositions for the Dale Warland Singers. Her compositions, however, go far be- yond the late 20th Century midwestern style with which we are familiar. Barnett’s catalog is among the most eclectic that I have seen. It includes arrangements of Amer- ican spirituals and folk songs, settings of Russian and Greek texts, sacred Jewish and Christian repertoire, multi-movement works for choir and bluegrass band, operas, simple hymn settings, and settings of historic American texts. Her music is tonal, satisfying, and filled with warmth. This issue of the Research Memorandum Series features a complete current list of the choral music of Carol Barnett. Matthew Bumbach, editor Biography of Carol Barnett BY MATTHEW BUMBACH, D.M.A. Carol Barnett (b. May 23, 1949, in Dubuque, Iowa) is one younger sister, Elaine. Elaine Phillips was Distin- an American composer of opera and works for orches- guished Professor of Biblical Studies and chair of the tra, chamber ensembles, solo instruments, and choir.

  • Top-10-Miniature-Masterpieces-1
    Episode 5 Miniature Masterpieces Top 10 Miniature Masterpieces These are standalone choral works with, or without an orchestra, that demonstrate the craftsmanship and mastery of the composer, but in 8 minutes or less. This list does not contain excerpts from larger works or any compositions longer than 8 minutes. 1. Ave verum corpus – Wolfgang A. Mozart (1756 – 1791) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed more than 600 works, many of which are acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is considered among the greatest classical composers of all time, and his influence on Western music is profound. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote: "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years". Ave verum corpus – Wolfgang A. Mozart Academy and Chorus of St Martin in the Fields, Sir Neville Marriner 2. Mitten wir im Leben sind – Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847) Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period. Mendelssohn's compositions include symphonies, concertos, piano music, organ music and chamber music. His best-known works include the overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Italian Symphony, the Scottish Symphony, the oratorio St. Paul, the oratorio Elijah, the overture The Hebrides, the Page 1 of 7 mature Violin Concerto and the String Octet. The melody for the Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is also his. Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words are his most famous solo piano compositions.
