  • Suggested Readings & Hymns for Memorial and Funeral Services At
    Suggested Readings & Hymns for Memorial and Funeral Services at St. David’s Episcopal Church Readings from Old Testament Isaiah 25:6-9-- He will swallow up death forever On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever. Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isaiah 61:1-3-- To comfort those who mourn The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion— to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.

  • QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr
    QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr. Carol Mathieson Andrew Lloyd Webber relaunched musical theatre in the 1960’s in ways that welcomed electronic technology and rock music without allowing ephemeral fads to highjack well-crafted composition. And audiences responded, with younger aficionados swelling the general flock to the theatres. Tonight’s medley follows chronologically from earliest efforts with Tim Rice to turn Jesus Christ, Superstar— a scripture story recast in rock, produced as a concept album with basic plot, all the songs, and minimal dialog—into a stage show, opening in London’s West End. It was a mega-hit. Soon after came Evita about the Perón dictatorship in Argentina. Rice did not feel comfortable remolding established writing into lyrics, so for Cats, Lloyd Webber went directly to T.S. Eliot’s poetry. Song and Dance is a short musical play with lyrics by Don Black, paired with a short ballet with music Lloyd Webber wrote for his cellist brother Julien as variations on a Paganini caprice. However, Phantom of the Opera, with Charles Hart lyrics, was back to high drama. Phantom smashed attendance records in both London and New York, running for decades. Tonight’s medley opens and closes with songs from that iconic show. Nineteenth-century English musical theatre consisted of cheerful song and dance revues or badly translated, risqué French burlesques until Gilbert and Sullivan brought satirical, silly Savoy Operas to a family-friendly stage. QSC sings highlights from the first and the final masterpieces of these saviors of both the English and American musical stage.

  • Assignment: Final Projects
    Upward Bound STEM July 25, 2013 Assignment: Final Projects The culmination of this Music+STEM course is the creation of new songs by groups of students. Here are our expectations for this assignment: You may work individually or in groups of 2 to 5. The larger the size of the group, the better the finished product is expected to be. Your song should cover some aspect of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Please cover specific STEM content, as opposed to making vague, general statements that require no understanding (like “Math is really fun” or “Cells are so important”). In particular, we challenge you to go beyond textbook facts to include some tidbits about the history of a problem, how experiments are currently done and/or what kinds of data have been collected. (For example, we consider “Myofibrils” [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC_CUfLP6Pc] a facts-only song, whereas “Necessary But Not Sufficient” [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HX34kHHDow] offers a taste of the data underlying the conclusions.) Your song can be in any musical genre (blues, rock, rap, country, gospel, reggae, etc.). Your song can be completely original, or it can be a parody of an existing song. However, it should be created by YOU. Do NOT hand in a song that you found on the Internet! This assignment is due on the final day of class (Thursday, August 1st). You will do a short presentation/performance of your song at that time. In addition, you should hand in the following: Lyrics sheet for your song Musical score (if original music) for your song “Artists’ Statement” explaining your song.

  • English Music Elton John Part 2
    English Music Elton John Part 2 In 1967, John answered an ad for a songwriter for Liberty Records. He got the job and soon teamed up with lyricist Bernie Taupin. The duo switched to the DJM label the following year, writing songs for other artists. John got his first break as a singer with his 1969 album Empty Sky, featuring songs by John and Taupin. While that recording failed to catch on, his 1970 self-titled effort featured John’s first hit “Your Song.” More hits soon followed, including such number- one smashes as “Crocodile Rock,” “Bennie and the Jets” and “Island Girl.” John enjoyed a series of top-selling albums during this time, including Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973) and Rock of the Westies (1975). As one of the top acts of the 1970s, Elton John became equally famous for his live shows. He dressed in fabulous, over-the-top costumes and glasses for his elaborate concerts. In an interview with W, John explained that “I wasn’t a sex symbol like Bowie, Marc Bolan or Freddie Mercury, so I dressed more on the humorous side, because if I was going to be stuck at the piano for two hours, I was going to make people look at me.” Elton John – Your Song It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside I’m not one of those who can easily hide I don’t have much money but boy if I did I’d buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do My gift is my song and this one’s for you And you can tell everybody this is your
