Mozart’s single piece of correspondence concerning the mass only adds to the mystery. In a letter dated January 14, 1783, to his father Leopold, Mozart wrote elliptically that “the score of half of a mass, which is still lying here waiting to be finished, is the best proof that I really made the promise.” While the promise Mozart alluded to in the letter has traditionally been interpreted as an olive branch to his father, who had not approved of Mozart’s recent marriage, or as an ode of thanksgiving to his wife Constanze, recent research hints that Mozart had promised his father that he would reconcile with Archbishop Colloredo.

  • Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre
    Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre Women The repertoire suggestions below target specific developmental goals. It is important to keep in mind however that the distinguishing characteristic of musical theatre singing is the variability of tonal resonance within any given song. A predominantly soprano song might suddenly launch into a belt moment. A chest dominant ballad may release into a tender soprano. Story always pre-empts musical choices. “Just You Wait” from My Fair Lady is part of the soprano canon but we would be disappointed if Eliza could not tell Henry Higgins what she really felt. In order to make things easier for beginning students, it’s a good idea to find repertoire with targeted range and consistent quality as students develop skill in coordinating registration. Soprano Mix—Beginner, Teens to Young Adult Examples of songs to help young sopranos begin to feel functionally confident and enthusiastic about characters and repertoire. Integrating the middle soprano is a priority and it is wise to start there.

Community Theater Lots To Love About Silhouette’s ‘She Loves Me’ at Slayton House in Columbia By Cybele Pomeroy - October 15, 2019 Share Imagine someone wanted Sondheim, but with a happy ending and genuinely lovable characters. Ta-da! She Loves Me was written in the ‘60s by Joe Masteroff (book), Sheldon Harnick (lyrics) and Jerry Bock (music) as a musical adaptation of Miklos Laszlo’s 1937 play Parfumerie. There have been a number of treatments of Laszlo’s central premise through the years, but I won’t name them in case that’s a spoiler for anyone. JOIN OUR NEWSLETTER! Email * Submit The cast of Silhouette Stages’ production of ‘She Loves Me.’ Photo by Stasia Steuart Photography. Silhouette Stages is currently performing She Loves Me at the Slayton House at Wilde Lake Village Center in Columbia. You’ll want your GPS, or to have been there before already for another production, perhaps Silhouette’s Cabaret (book also by Joe Masteroff) earlier this year. Inside the theater, you have the option of raked bleacher seating or chairs flat on the floor for your convenience and viewing pleasure. As for the show itself, I quite like it. Strong book, great music and excellent lyrics are always a nice start. It’s structured more like an operetta than a musical in the contemporary sense. There are a great many scene changes, a great many songs, and not many sequences with dialogue of more than a few lines.

  • [Program Notes for the Gift of Life, by Pamela Grooms] John Rutter Was Born in London in 1945 and Received His First Musical
    [Program notes for The Gift of Life, by Pamela Grooms] John Rutter was born in London in 1945 and received his first musical education as a chorister at Highgate School. He went on to study music at Clare College, Cambridge, where he wrote his first published compositions and conducted his first recording while still a student. His compositional career has embraced both large and small-scale choral works, orchestral and instrumental pieces, a piano concerto, two children’s operas, music for television, and specialist writing for such groups as the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and the King’s Singers. His larger choral works, Gloria (1974), Requiem (1985), Magnificat (1990), Psalmfest (1993) and Mass of the Children (2003) have been performed many times in Britain, North America, and a growing number of other countries. From 1975 to 1979 he was Director of Music at Clare College, whose choir he directed in a number of broadcasts and recordings. After giving up the Clare post to allow more time for composition, he formed the Cambridge Singers as a professional chamber choir primarily dedicated to recording, and he now divides his time between composition and conducting. In 1996 the Archbishop of Canterbury conferred a Lambeth Doctorate of Music upon him in recognition of his contribution to church music. He was honored in the 2007 Queen’s New Year Honours List, being awarded a CBE for services to music. (www.johnrutter.com) John Rutter’s long-awaited new major work The Gift of Life is a six-movement choral celebration of the living earth, of creation, and of life itself, offering a kaleidoscope of moods from contemplative and prayerful to majestic and inspirational.
