Dave was a poet, musician, husband, brother, and dear friend whom we will miss greatly. From Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem Selig sind, die da Leid tragen, Blessed are they that mourn, den sie sollen getröstet werden. for they shall have comfort. Die mit Tränen säen, They that sow in tears, werden mit Freuden ernten. shall reap in joy. Dave, today we sing for you. DAVID SIMPSON 1952 - 2015 Dear Friends, We are so pleased to welcome you this afternoon to our annual Feast of Carols concert! Today Mendelssohn Club Chorus continues our rich holiday concert tradition, with a modern twist. Join us as we celebrate the heartwarming car- ols that we all know and love, and revel in an assortment of Christmas pieces from around the world. From well-loved carols to harp solos to spirituals to vocal jazz, this year’s Feast of Carols has a little something for everyone. We hope that you’ll leave this concert feeling warm and merry, and that the time you spend with us today is a peaceful respite from a busy season.
