Last year (the board’s first year), the On focus was on vision: vision for our individual areas and constituencies, and vision for our organization. Many of these visions already have been realized or are on their way to being realized. This year (the board’s second and last), the focus is on defining our specific purpose, and the strengths and challenges we have in achieving this purpose over the long-term, not just during our individual terms of office. Elizabeth Schauer AzACDA President [email protected] The dedicated members of the AzACDA Board meet in September to articulate our purpose and plot a journey to achieve our goals and vision toward that purpose. The purpose of AzACDA is to support educators and directors, and to promote and serve as a voice for choral music in our state. The board measures our efforts and processes through this lens to ascertain that we are serving the membership in the very best ways we can. We identified as a strength our willingness to try new things. This is not a little thing in an organization that experiences significant turn-over every two years: identifying unmet needs and figuring out ways to meet them, evaluating our efforts, building on our successes, keeping what works, adjusting or tossing what doesn’t. For a volunteer board to unselfishly serve with the benefit of the organization’s future in mind is vital. It has been exciting (and exhausting!) doing the important work of AzACDA in this way with such an incredible, creative and hard-working group of people. Below are some of the things we have tried and some of our successes since my last President’s Letter. Thanks to everyone who has been part of the discussion and vision of AzACDA to help us achieve them! 4 | ANTIPHON—Fall 2016 On May 6, we hosted our annual Junior High/Middle School Choral Festival at Church of the Beatitudes in Phoenix. Jason Thompson, Sammy Brauer, Herbert Washington and Joseph Johnston served as clinicians for the 27 choirs who participated. Congratulations and thanks to Melanie Openshaw for organizing this important event. In June President-Elect Ryan Holder and Treasure Joyce Bertilson traveled to Minneapolis to attend the ACDA National Leadership Conference to connect with other state and divisional leaders, to share the important work we are doing in Arizona, to tour the 2017 national conference facilities, and to learn about new initiatives and important changes in our organization. Thank you for representing us and sharing with our state board when you returned. In July we came together for our AzACDA Summer Conference, trying out our new conference home. While the dates were not ideal for everyone, we still had 140 people in attendance. Thanks to Ryan Holder’s surveys of people who attended as well as people who attended in the past but didn’t come this year, we have a wealth of information about how we can better serve our membership in the future. It was such a pleasure to see such a large part of our Arizona choral community in attendance! In July we also welcomed Rita Scholz, Caleb Nihira, Tom Peterson, Stephanie Brewer and Thomas Alcaraz to the board. In September we had our fall board meeting, and enjoyed the participation of the following ACDA student leaders: Grace Kim, Daniel Corrales and Andrew Heidorn (UA) and Allie Fardelos (NAU). In September we hosted two Dbacks Choir Nights with hundreds of singers from throughout the state participating under the direction of Jason Thompson and Sharon Hansen. Congratulations to Greg Hebert for his outstanding work on this. In September we also co-hosted the ACDA Student Symposium. After three successive years of Arizona hosts, the symposium, formerly a Western Division event, seems to have found its home here. Congratulations to Dr. Schildkret, Julie Neish, Jenny Madruga and the ASU Student Chapter for their success with this event. 55 attendees representing 9 different colleges and universities participated this year. In September we participated in the annual ACDA Sing-Up Membership Drive. Look for results of our efforts in the next Antiphon. Many thanks to Sharon Hansen and Thomas Alcaraz for their good work on this important effort. In October we co-hosted our first collaborative Music in Worship event, RINGING, SINGING, & ORGAN-izing at First United Methodist Church in Phoenix. The event, jointly sponsored by American Guild of Organists, Handbell Musicians of America and ACDA, had 33 attendees at this inaugural event. Congratulations to Doug Benton and all of the other organizers. In November we will host the annual Cantaremos Festival, an honor choir experience for 5th-9th graders. This year over 300 children auditioned, and 235 singers will benefit from this excellent opportunity. Congratulations to Aimee Stewart for her continued work to make this event even better. In November, nine Arizona collegiate choirs will come together in Sun City for our first Collegiate Choral Festival. The choirs will sing for each other and will join together to close the evening with a massed performance of “The Heavens are Telling” from F.J. Haydn’s masterful oratorio The Creation. Congratulations to Adam Stich for getting this event off the ground. It’s such a pleasure to write these letters for each Antiphon issue and to reflect on the vibrant community of choral leaders we have in this state. I’m so grateful for each of you, and for the opportunity to serve. Sincerely, Elizabeth Schauer www.azacda.org | 5 Dear Arizona Choral Musicians, am thrilled to be joining the board of AzACDA as editor of the ANTIPHON and to collaborate with President Elizabeth Schauer, our designer Robert Ashbaugh, and you, I the fellow constituency and readership. I look forward to continuing the excellent work put in place by Thomas Lerew, and all those that came before him in this position. In many ways, this issue of the ANTIPHON is a continuation of the spring issue. We have the second halves of two excellent articles from the spring: Brent Rogers’ article Style in pre-Romantic Music and Luke Lusted’s article on hiring, working with, and rehearsing an orchestra to mount a large scale choral-orchestral work. I have chosen to continue the “Conductor’s Perspective” column of the ANTIPHON. This issue will feature Northern Arizona University’s Edith Copley, conductor of the Shrine of the Ages Choir.

  • 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.
