March 6 & 7, 2020 We dedicate our entire 40th Season to the memory of our beloved Associate Conductor, Greg Marsh Tonight’s concert is sponsored by Tagawa Gardens, with thanks for their support. Letters from Ireland, A Choral Suite...... arr. by Mark Brymer *Laura Schulkind, penny whistle and flute; *Emily Lewis, fiddle; *Hillary Schefter, harp Dirk Mewes, Uillean pipes; Richard Gee, button accordion Robby Kleber, guitar; Ben Greene, bass Chris Samuels, percussion Letter 1-Interlude...... Read by Margaret Beardall The Cliffs of Doneen...... Traditional Irish Folk Song You may travel far, far from your own native home. Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam. But of all the fine places that I've ever been, Sure there's none to compare with the Cliffs of Doneen. It's a nice place to be on a fine summer's day, Watching all the wildflowers that ne'er do decay. Oh the hare and the pheasants are plain to be seen Making homes for their young 'round the Cliffs of Doneen. Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights you'll see there You'll see the high rocky mountains o'er the west coast of Clare. Oh the town af Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen From the high rocky slopes 'round the cliffs of Doneen. Letter 2- Irwin...... Read by Chris Stille The Rocky Road to Dublin...... Traditional Irish Folk Song In the merry month of May, now from me home I started. Left the girls of Tuam, nearly broken-hearted. *members of the Chamber Music Society of Greater Denver Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother. Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother. Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born. I cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghost and goblin. In a bran' new pair of brogues, I rattled o'er the bogs. And frightened all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin. One, two, three, four, five. (Refrain) Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road. And all the way to Dublin, whack, fol-ol de-day. In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary. Started by daylight next morning light and airy. Took a drop of the pure, to keep me heart from sinkin'. That's the Paddy's cure, when'er he's on for drinkin'. To see the lassies smile, laughin' all the while. At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'. They ax'd if I was hired, the wages I required. 'Til I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin. One, two, three, four, five. In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity. To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city. When I took a stroll all among the quality. Me bundle it was stole all in that neat locality. Somethin' crossed me mind, then I looked behind. No bundle I could find upon me stick a-wobblin'. Enquirin' for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue. Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin. One, two, three, four, five. Letter 3-Blackberry Blossom...... Read by Brian Leatherman Molly Malone (Cockles and Mussels)...... Traditional Irish Folk Song Letter 4-Fisher's Hornpipe...... Read by Barbara Wollan Lanigan's Ball...... Traditional Irish Folk Song (Refrain) Six long months I spent in Dublin Six long months doing nothing at all Six long months I spent in Dublin Learnin' to dance for Lanigan's Ball. In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan Battered away 'til he hadn't a shillin', His father he died, made him a man again, Left him a farm and ten acres of ground. He gave a grand party for friends and relations, Who wouldn't forget him, would come to the wall. If only you'd listen, I'll make your eyes glisten At rows and ructions of Lanigan's Ball. They're doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas, All 'round the room in a whirlygig. 'Til Julie and I soon banished their nonsense And tipped them a twist of a real Irish jig! Oh, how that girl she really got mad at me, Danced 'til we thought that the ceiling would fall. For I spent three weeks at Brooks Academy Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball. I stepped out - and I stepped in again Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball. The Wild Rover/Whiskey in the Jar...... Traditional Irish Folk Song Letter 5-Skibbereen...... Read by Chris Stille Traditional Irish Folk Song O, Father dear, I oft times hear you speak of Erin's Isle, Her lofty scenes, her valleys green, her mountains rude and wild. They say it is a princely place wherein the king might dwell. So, why did you abandon it? The reason to me tell. O son, I loved my native land with energy and pride. Until a blight came on my crops, the sheep and cattle died. The rent and taxes were to pay, I could not them redeem. And that's the cruel reason why I left ol' Skibbereen. Your mother too, God rest her soul, lay on the snowy ground. She fainted o'er in anguish from the desolation 'round. She never rose but passed away from life to immortal dream. And she found a quiet grave, me boy, in dear ol' Skibbereen. And you were only two years old and feeble was your frame. I could not leave you with my friends, you bore your father's name. I wrapped you in a blanket at the dead of night unseen. I heaved a sigh and bade goodbye to dear ol' Skibbereen. Muirsheen Durkin...... Traditional Irish Folk Song In the days I went a courtin', I was never tired resortin', To the alehouse or a playhouse and, or many's a house besides. I told me brother Seamus I'd go off and be right famous And I never would return again, I'd roam the whole world wide. (Refrain) Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'. No more, I'll dig the praties, no longer, I'll be fooled. As sure as my name is Carney, I'll be off to Californee. And instead of diggin' praties, I'll be diggin' lumps of gold. So goodbye all ye girls at home. You're sailing far across the foam. To try and make me fortune in far Americay. There's gold and money plenty for the poor and for the gentry. And when I do return again, I never more will stray. Letter 6-Road to Lisdoonvarna...... Read by Dave Stover Paddy Works on the Railway...... Traditional Irish Folk Song Letter 7-Interlude...... Read by Kevin LaPrise The Wearing of the Green...... Traditional Irish Folk Song soloist: David Chambless Intermission The CherryTones Danny Boy...... Traditional Irish Folk Song Words by Frederick Edward Weatherly arr. by Peter Knight adapted by Philip Lawson Galway Girl...... Words and music by Ed Sheeran, Foy Vance, John McDaid, Amy Wadge, Eamon Murray, Niamh Dunne, Liam Bradley, Damian McKee, and Sean Graham arr. by Philip Lawson Emily Lewis, fiddle; Chris Samuels, percussion; Robby Kleber, guitar Featuring quintet members Cady Girten, James Libbon, Leah Lucas, Ruth Most, and Jenee Stewart Pipe Set #1...... Michael Collins Pipes & Drums Chorale ...... , Nicky Ryan, and soloists: Leah Lucas, Lynsey Simmons, and William White arr. by Kirby Shaw Who can say when the roads meet that love might be in your heart? And who can say when the day sleeps if the night keeps all your heart? Who can say if your love grows as your heart chose? Only time. And who can say where the road goes, where the day flows? Only time. Who knows? Only time. Oft, In the Stilly Night...... Music by Kevin Padworski Sung by the Tenors and Basses of the Chorale Words by Thomas Moore Emily Lewis, violin soloists: Roger Adcock and Bill Patterson Oft in the stilly night ere slumber's chain has bound me, Fond memory brings the light of other days around me; The smiles, the tears of boyhood's years, the words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone, now dimm'd and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken! Thus, in the stilly night, ere slumber's chain hath bound me, Sad memory brings the light of other days around me. When I remember all the friends, so link'd together, I've seen around me fall like leaves in wintry weather, I feel like one who treads alone, Some banquet-hall deserted, whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, and all but he departed! Thus, in the stilly night, ere slumber's chain hath bound me, Sad memory brings the light of other days around me. Tell My Ma...... Traditional Irish Folk Song Sung by the Sopranos and Altos of the Chorale arr. by Jon Washburn Conducted by Brenda Berganza, Chorale member soloist: Kristen Park Pipe Set #2...... Michael Collins Pipes & Drums Amazing Grace...... Southern Harmony arr. by Mack Wilberg Rick Seaton, organ; Michael Collins Pipes & Drums Highland Cathedral...... Traditional Scottish Tune arr. by John Kuzma Rick Seaton, organ; Michael Collins Pipes & Drums This, our season of joy, is also tinged with sadness. As we celebrate our 40th year, and Brian Leatherman’s 25th as our Artistic Director, we mourn the loss of Greg Marsh, our Associate Conductor, colleague of 23 years, mentor, and dear friend. Greg was a natural teacher — a gentle persuader — and a born story-teller, always with an instructional purpose. His students, whom he clearly cherished, featured in many of his stories. Whatever the narrative, we understood that we singers are never too young, and especially never too old, to learn. You may be surprised to learn that choristers sometimes go flat, but almost never in the opposite direction. Greg didn’t harp on that point, but challenged us to make Brian say the one thing we have never heard: “You’re going sharp.” For Greg’s sake, and, of course for you, our audience, we will aim high. Greg practiced what he preached. As a regular Chorale member, he sang with the same quality and commitment he asked of all his fellow-singers. We were so lucky to have Greg with us for 23 years. We miss his wit, his warmth, and his love of singing, of us, and of life. We dedicate ourselves, and our entire 40th season, to his loving memory.

Guest Artists Since 1996, Michael Collins Pipes & Drums Band has been Denver’s premier traditional Irish pipe band. Named after the father of the Irish Republic and the Michael Collins Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Band keeps close ties with both Colorado’s Irish community as well as the tradition of playing Irish pipe music. The band considers it a great honor to carry the name of Michael Collins. The Band has been the recipient of many parade awards and high competition placings during its history. Currently, the Band serves as the official Pipe and Drum Band for the Denver St. Patricks Day Parade, the 2nd largest of its kind west of the Mississippi River. The Band as a whole, or in smaller groups, and even soloists, are available to hire for your special event. From weddings to memorial services to any ceremony where the skirl of the pipes and the rhythm of the drums will make it a memorable event. Please call 720.432.6717 for more info or go to http://www.michaelcollinspb.com. Also, please follow us on Facebook for a full schedule of our upcoming performances and competitions throughout the region. Program Notes

With this evening’s concert Letters from Ireland, the Cherry Creek Chorale continues its tradition of biennial Celtic-themed programs. We have a glorious feast spread out for you, with heartbreak and triumph in about equal measure. As you might guess from the title, our emphasis is on the country of Ireland. We begin with the set of pieces that gives our concert its title, Irish folk songs interspersed with extracts from diaries and letters of the time. I would encourage you to listen for the masterful way that the arranger and compiler, Mark Brymer, has created an arc of emotion and meaning. We start out with the beauties of the Irish countryside (The Cliffs of Doneen) but swiftly move to the big city of Dublin (The Rocky Road and Molly Malone). We visit a wild party (Lanigan’s Ball) but then move back onto the road, this time on a much darker note. First we tune in on highway robbery (Wild Rover and Whiskey in the Jar), with a big dose of drinking along the way. Should we believe the wild rover when he promises to never again return to his old ways? Probably not. Then with Skibbereen, the arc of the compilation starts moving towards America, as a father tells his son why he left Ireland even though he loved his native land. The next two songs portray the high hopes of Irish emigrants as they arrived in America, or “Americay” or “Amerikee.” Whether these newcomers hoped to participate in the California Gold Rush (Muirsheen Durkin) or just get a job working on the railroads (Paddy Works on the Railway), they were propelled by the promise of a better life. (“Instead of digging praties [potatoes] I’ll be digging lumps of gold.”) The compilation ends with a song (The Wearing of the Green) that’s almost unbearably sad when you listen to the words, which describe the attitude of an oppressed people who have been denied identification with their national identity: “For there’s a cruel law against the wearing of the green.”

But folks, all of the above is just the first half of the program. There’s so much more to come, with The CherryTones singing Danny Boy and Galway Girl mirrored by the Chorale women singing Tell My Ma and the men with Oft, In the Stilly Night. We are joined in the second half by the Michael Collins Pipes & Drums, who will be performing on their own and with us. Let me tell you, I hope that the roof is well fastened down as the Chorale joins them for Amazing Grace and Highland Cathedral. Our feet may just leave the ground!

While I can claim no drop of Irish blood myself, for this evening I‘m going to don the honorary hat of belonging to that country, and I see no reason why everyone hearing this stirring music can’t do the same. All of us, no matter our own ethnic identity, can sympathize with the aspirations that fueled what we’re hearing tonight. --Debi Simons Go to our website at www.cherrycreekchorale.org and click on the “Behind the Music” tab to access background essays on our selections.
