Consummate musicianship a-ndattention to detail have been his tools in building one of the finest choral groups in the country. Under Dr.' Warland's leadership, the ensemble has thrilled choral music lovers, not just in their Twin Cities' home, but throughout North America and Europe. Beyond his active schedule as Music Director of The Dale Warland Singers, Warland is in demand as guest conductor, lecturer and composer. He has conducted such prestigious ensembles as the Swedish Radio Choir, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Israel's finest professional choir, the Cameron Singers.

" Dale Warland, 1967 Prelude: In 1970, Dale Warland, professor of music at Macalester College, was asked to organize a professional-quality chorus to . - perform with Center Opera Company (now Minnesota Opera) and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The ensemble's debut was so successful that other requests quickly followed, from Bruce Carlson of The Schubert Club, Phillip Brunelle, Dennis Russell Davies and others, resulting in the new ensemble's first formal concert in 1972. At this time, with no professional choir in Minnesota, amateur singers had no way to advance their careers. The initial group was a "telephone choir" assembled from a collection of recommendations and rolodexes of singers' names from the Twin Cities' area. It would be a few years before anyone was auditioned or paid more than a token sum for rehearsals or concerts. 1972: June 11, First independent concert as The Dale Warland Singers, a new non-profit company; at the Walker Art Center in a diversified program in five languages. 1973: First complete season featuring appearances sponsored by the Schubert Club and Walker Art Center; also the first collaboration with the Minnesota Orchestra, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the American Brass Quintet. Reviewers .were already praising The Singers clarity of tone and musicianship. By this time, Warland's high standards and inventive programming were now attracting many skilled singers to audition in person ~ 1974: DWS joins Macalester Festival Chorale for several appearances. June -- Performs Beethoven's Symphony No.9 at Northrup Auditorium. 1976: April -- The ensemble performs a special concert for His Majesty Karl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, at the American Swedish Bicentennial Festival in Minneapolis. With Norman Luboff as guest conductor, the DWS records Swedish Choral Ballads, an album of 20th century romantic music for Walton Publishing. 1977: The Midwest premiere, (as a fully-staged opera production) of J. S. Bach's Passion According to St. Matthew is performed with the Minnesota Opera. First engagement abroad, a three-week tour of candinavia, with broadcasts for Swedish and Norwegian Radio. 1978: Dec. Robert Shaw conducts the DWS in eight performances. of Handel's Messiah with the Minnesota Orchestra. , 1979: March: Due to popular

  • 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.

  • Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Paulus Has Held Similar Positions with the Minnesota Orchestra, the Tanglewood Festival, and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival
    STEPHEN PAULUS New World Records 80363 Concerto for Violin and Orchestra Stephen Paulus, born in Summit, New Jersey, in 1949, earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Minnesota under such teachers as Paul Felter and Dominick Argento. He is a co-founder of the highly successful Minnesota Composers Forum, established to promote support of composers and performances of their works. Now composer in residence with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Paulus has held similar positions with the Minnesota Orchestra, The Tanglewood Festival, and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. His Violin Concerto won recognition in the Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards in 1988. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as commissions from numerous musical organizations, including the Fromm Music Foundation and the Berkshire Music Center. Important among his works are his three operas; they have had successful premieres and, perhaps even more heartening, subsequent productions by other companies. Each was commissioned by the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, whose general director, Richard Gaddes, was impressed by Paulus' cantata The North Shore, and engaged him to compose the one-act opera The Village Singer in 1979. Its success led to commissions for a two-act opera, The Postman Always Rings Twice, based on the novel by James M. Cain, and The Woodlanders, a three-act work inspired by Thomas Hardy's novel. In September 1983, Postman became the first American opera ever presented at the Edinburgh Festival. Stephen Paulus' musical style is melodic and highly rhythmic.

Since its foundation in 1441 by the 19-year-old King Henry VI, choral services in the Chapel, sung by this choir, have been a fundamental part of life in the College. Through the centuries, people from across Cambridge, the UK and, more recently, the world have listened to the Choir at these services. Today, even people who aren’t able to attend services in the Chapel have heard King’s Choir, thanks to its many recordings and broadcasts, and the tours that have taken it to leading international concert venues around the world. Despite its deep roots in musical history, the Choir has always been at the forefront of technological innovation, and records exclusively on its ‘impeccable’ own label. 2 THE MUSIC OF KING'S The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge Stephen Cleobury conductor 3 CD 66:25 1 Cantate Domino | Claudio Monteverdi 2:09 2 Puer natus in Bethlehem | Samuel Scheidt 2:48 3 Magnificat primi toni a8 | Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina 5:31 4 Crucifixus a8 | Antonio Lotti 3:10 5 Pie Jesu (Requiem) | Gabriel Fauré 3:17 6 Ave verum corpus | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 2:44 7 Panis angelicus | César Franck, arr.
