A5 KMK Prog.Pdf From the Chair On behalf of CLOGS Musical Theatre, may I offer you a very warm welcome to this performance of the Broadway Musical, Kiss me, Kate. The cast has worked very hard to bring this show to the stage under the skilful guidance and patience of our Director, Matt Heaton, our Musical Director, Peter French and our talented Choreographer Debi Weaver. I would also like to extend our welcome to the Mayor of Chippenham, Mrs Mary Norton and her consort Mr Cedric Norton and to Mr Nick Lawrence, the National President for NODA. As always, we have had a busy year performing and entertaining the good folk of Chippenham. Our summer concerts were well attended and we were able to make financial giftings to support the building project at St Peter’s Church in Frogwell and to support the work of the Friends of St Andrew’s Church in Chippenham. Our Clogettes were invited to perform at the open-air cinema event in Chippenham and at the fun day at John Coles Park. In December we sang carols around the Christmas tree and entertained the guests who chose to spend Christmas at The Angel Hotel. Next year we are looking forward to celebrating our 40th birthday and we hope that you will be part of that celebration as you continue to support us. Enjoy the show! Anne Holmes Chairperson chippenham-clogs.co.uk CLOGS Musical Theatre, Chippenham @ChippCLOGS Kiss Me Kate Kiss Me Kate is the high ground of Cole Porter's long and fruitful career as a composer for the musical theatre. It is the only one of his musicals to exceed a thousand performances on Broadway (1,077). It is also the only one given half-way around the world in over a dozen translations. In Poland Kiss Me Kate was the first American musical comedy ever seen there, and at the Volksoper in Vienna it proved the greatest box-office attraction in the sixty-odd-year history of that theatre. The strongest element of this production is of course Cole Porter's music. Never before, or since, has he been so rich and varied in his invention. At turns he is satiric, witty, nostalgic, sensual. Walter F. Kerr did not overstate the case when in his review he remarked that the score is "one of the loveliest and most lyrical yet composed for the contemporary stage". Adapted from www.theatrehistory.com Our Next Production CLOGS MUSICAL THEATRE THE MUSICAL 13th-17th March 2019 We are recruiting new CLOGS and CLOGETTES members for our next production of the musical BLITZ! in March 2019. Rehearsals commence in September 2018: CLOGETTES: Thursdays 6.30 - 7.30pm CLOGS: Thursdays 7.30 - 9.30pm Please contact our Chairperson Anne Holmes for further details: Tel: 01225 810580 email: [email protected] Synopsis: Act One A present day theatrical troupe is presenting Shakespeare's The Taming Of The Shrew in Baltimore, Maryland. The cast includes Fred Graham and his former wife, Lilli; also Bill Calhoun, an irresponsible gambler, and the girl whom he is interested in, Lois Lane. Bill breaks down and confesses to Lois that he is involved with gangsters, who have his I.O.U. for $10,000 from a crap game. This is not the first time Lois has had to tolerate Bill's escapades, and she inquires poignantly why he cannot behave himself (Why Can't You Behave?). Meanwhile Fred and his ex-wife, though divorced, begin to realise that their one-time tender feelings for each other have not completely died out. They start to reminisce about the shows in which they had appeared, including an old-fashioned Viennese operetta (Wunderbar). Just before the opening night of The Taming Of The Shrew, Fred sends his star, Lola, flowers. By mistake they come to Lilli's dressing room; further proof to her that Fred still loves her. She now openly reveals that that love is reciprocated (So In Love). On stage, the performance of The Taming Of The Shrew is taking place (We Open In Venice). As a play within a play, we learn that Bianca cannot get married until her older sister, Katherine, has found a husband (Tom, Dick And Harry). When Petruchio arrives in Padua to seek out a rich wife (I've Come To Live It Wealthily In Padua) he is chosen for Katherine. The latter, a shrew, makes no attempt to conceal her feelings about men (I Hate Men), while Petruchio knows that Katherine is not the woman of his dreams (Were Thine That Special Face). Nevertheless, he agrees to marry her. We are now transferred back from Shakespeare's Padua to the intrigues within the theatrical Company. Having learned that Fred's flowers were meant for Lola, Lilli bursts into a fit of temper, and announces hotly that she is leaving the Company for good. Her departure, however, is delayed by the arrival of gangsters coming to collect $10,000 from Bill for his I.O.U. Synopsis: Act Two We return to The Taming Of The Shrew. Petruchio and Katherine are now man and wife. Since her violent tempers and caprices are complicating Petruchio's life to no end, he begins to recall nostalgically his single-blessedness (Where Is The Life That Late I Led?). Backstage, when Bill reprimands Lois for flirting with one of the actors, she makes light of her tendency to be fickle (Always True To You In My Fashion). But, for all his troubles with Lois, Bill has good cause for cheer. There has been a violent shake-up in the gangster world, as a result of which Bill's I.O.U. is no longer valid. Bill and Lois are now reconciled, and Katherine and Fred return to each other. Adapted from www.theatrehistory.com The Taming of the Shrew Fortune-hunting Hortensio, rich old Gremio and newly-arrived-in-town Lucentio all wish to court beautiful Bianca, but she cannot marry before her older sister, the shrewish Katherine. Petruchio vows to woo Katherine both for her dowry and for the challenge of overcoming her fearsome reputation. Hortensio and Lucentio gain access to Bianca by disguising themselves as tutors, while Lucentio's servant Tranio plays the role of his Master. Petruchio marries Katherine, turning up late wearing unsuitable clothes, and takes her off to his country house where he 'tames' her throughvarious forms of deprivation. Tranio persuades a travelling schoolteacher to pretend to be Lucentio's father Vincentio in order to give assurance of Lucentio's financial means. There is confusion when the real Vincentio turns up, but the love-match between Lucentio and Bianca ishap- pily settled. Hortensio marries a wealthy widow and Petruchio and Katherine return to reveal that she is a changed woman. Adapted from www.rsc.org.uk/the-taming-of-the-shrew Creative Team Director: Matt Heaton Matt is thrilled to be back working with CLOGS on Kiss Me Kate as they are such a friendly, dedicated, enthusiastic and hard-working group.

  • Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) Was An
    Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, he defied the wishes of his dom ineering grandfather and took up music as a profession. Classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. After a slow start, he began to achieve succe ss in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Br oadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote th e lyrics as well as the music for his songs. After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and 30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It w on the first Tony Award for Best Musical. Porter's other musicals include Fifty Million Frenchmen, DuBarry Was a Lady, Any thing Goes, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. His numerous hit songs include "Night an d Day","Begin the Beguine", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "Well, Did You Evah!", "I 've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Born to D ance (1936), which featured the song "You'd Be So Easy to Love", Rosalie (1937), which featured "In the Still of the Night"; High Society (1956), which included "True Love"; and Les Girls (1957).

    POPULAR SONG: BLUES, JAZZ, SWING AND BIG BAND: AOS2 125 ‘ANYTHING GOES’ ‘ANYTHING Singing style When listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing, pay attention to the following characteristics: An accomplished technique – she maintained the quality of her voice for a long career of over 50 years. Her voice has presence and warmth, and a bright, youthful character. She has a wide range, spanning over three octaves. She has a very accurate sense of pitch, both in low and high registers. Her voice is agile and flexible, moving easily between registers and singing fast pieces without straining in tone and intonation. She has a sure sense of swing and a lightness of rhythm. Syncopation and the ocr anticipation or delay of notes and phrases are natural and precisely placed. Composers liked her truthful approach to their music. She lets the melody speak forby itself without adding exaggerated touches. She was an excellent scat singer, using her experience as a band singer and her knowledge of bebop to perform extended scat sections in her performances. A LEVEL PRESCRIBED WORK 2018 endorsement ‘Anything Goes’ to ‘Anything Goes’ was written for Ethel Merman, a popular Broadway singer. She starred (with Bing Crosby) in the 1936subject movie of the same name, and also in a 1954 live television version with Frank Sinatra. Her bold tone, clear diction and strong personality were ideal for musical theatre, where singers had to project their performance without the help of microphones. Ella Fitzgerald’s version is sung in the key of G, with the introduction in G minor. There are two verses, in 32-bareducation: song form (AABA ).

    Merced College - Cole Porter Classic 'Kiss Me Kate' to be Performed at Merced College 2/8/16, 7:24 AM About Us Cole Porter Classic ‘Kiss Me Kate’ Office of Institutional to be Performed at Merced College Advancement Alumni Affairs One of the most enduring classics of American musical theater is taking the stage at Foundation Merced College. Cole Porter’s “Kiss Me Kate,” which won five Tony awards in its original Newsletter Archive production, opens on Friday, March 17 at 8 p.m. Public Affairs Staff “Kiss Me Kate” was a personal triumph for Cole Porter, becoming his biggest Broadway hit after many had thought his career was over. Eventually, the production ran for 1,077 Contact Us performances, was made into a successful 1953 MGM musical film, and was revised on Broadway in 1999, earning an additional four Tonys. “This is a very challenging musical,” said Merced College drama instructor and director Fred Friedland. “When I heard the voices of those who were auditioning for roles, I knew this was going to be a great production. I was just knocked out by these great voices I was hearing.” “Kiss Me Kate” is loosely based upon Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” It concerns stage actors putting on a musical version of the Shakespeare comedy, hence “Kiss Me Kate’s” “play within a play” storyline. The musical’s two leading protagonists, Fred Grahame and Lilli Vannessi, are a divorced couple brought back together to stage the production. The pair begins to fight when Lilli discovers Fred’s romance with the show’s ingénue, Lois Lane.

  • Bohuslän Big Band with Nils Landgren Directed by Colin Towns
    Bohuslän Big Band with Nils Landgren directed by Colin Towns Don`t Fence Me In ACT 9028-2 German Release Date: March 25, 2011 As diverse and vibrant as the Swedish jazz scene may be, it’s not possible to avoid market trends even here. There are only two professional, continuously working big bands in the country – the Norrbotten and the Bohuslän Big Bands. The latter originated during the Fifties from a military band whose tradition dates back to the early 19 th century. The Bohuslän region and the city of Vara support the orchestra, which allows the group to develop its diverse activities, ranging from performances at Swedish schools to regular appearances at the big international festivals with about 100 annual concerts worldwide. The Bohuslän Big Band has always aimed to uphold the big band tradition and ensure its further contemporary development. That their extensive project work, so far recorded on sixteen albums and one DVD, revolves around this intent goes without saying. The orchestra has over many years collaborated with well known composers and arrangers: Maria Schneider, Bob Mintzer, Kenny Wheeler, Avishai Cohen and Bengt-Arne Wallin to name but a few. Most recently US trumpeter Lew Soloff collaborated on a Gershwin project with the band, and star bassist Steve Swallow compiled a programme for the Jazzbaltica Festival 2009 from his repertoire, appropriately entitled “Swallow Songs”. Since 2007 Nils Landgren has been the artistic director of the Bohuslän Big Band, a role for which he is perfect in many ways: “Mr. Red Horn” is one of the world’s best trombonists and one of the best known jazz figures in Scandinavia.

  • I Wish to Draw the Panel's Attention to the Following Document That I Have
    I wish to draw the panel’s attention to the following document that I have written in clarification of the extensive creative role of the professional arranger in comparison with that of the original composer. All about the project: "Anything Goes: The music of Cole Porter" 2011 - additional material devised and arranged by Wayne Senior The creative role of the arranger. The creative role of the arranger is often misunderstood by academics or those of the 'classical music' mindset as being somewhat lesser than the work of a composer of (so called) 'serious music'. The creative arranger is a highly skilled artisan who utilises all the best attributes of both composer and orchestrator to create a completely new setting to suit the artist(s) and/or musicians singing or performing an existing piece of music. In fact, the arranger's role is not dissimilar to that of the composer who takes an existing tune (a folk song, for instance) and reworks it to become a theme for a symphonic work. In essence the final arranged work will often contain more new and original work composed by the arranger than that of the writer. The arranging process may involve any or all of the following: *A new routine for the song through the judicious editing of existing material to appropriately shorten or lengthen the piece. *A tempo or rhythmic approach different from that of the tune as originally conceived. *A new key dependent on the artist(s) to sing the work, or to suit the available instrumentation and the players technical abilities.
