VAA & MCC Reunion Concert - #2

Dear Singers,

For those of you planning to come to our concert we have picked out a range of music that we hope will make you smile! If you were an “early” member of MCC you might see a few pieces that are unfamiliar, but hopefully you will have some time to practice. We'll also have a rehearsal on May 17 at 4:00 pm.

Here is the schedule:

Coming of Age – 21 Years of Singing in Milwaukee”
Sunday, May 17
Pius XI High School Performing Arts Center
135 N. 76th Street
Milwaukee, WI 53226

Schedule
3:30 pm – check in and pickup your music folder
4:00 pm – VAA and MCC/VAA alumni rehearse on stage
5:00 pm – break
6:00 pm – concert
7:00 pm – reception

Planned songs include:
Can You Hear (Papoulis) – girls sing soprano/alto; guys sing baritone

For the Beauty of the Earth (Rutter) – this is also our virtual choir song. See previous blog post from April 1 for instructions on submitting a video. We'll also sing live at the concert.

God Bless the Master (Vaughan Williams) – everyone sing unison; soprano 1 on descant at the end.

How Can I Keep from Singing (arr. Crocker), girls sing SA, guys sing B
The Irish Blessing

Laudate Dominum (Mozart)

MLK (U2/arr. Chilcott)
MLK - music

Papageno/Papagena Duet (Mozart) – girls sing soprano (Papagena), boys sing alto (Papageno)

The Path to the Moon (Thiman)

Praise His Holy Name (Hampton)

Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day (Rutter) – This is a change from what was posted previously. All girls sing S1. All guys sing S2 down an octave. We will not sing the alto part on this concert.
Dancing Day - music
Dancing Day mp3

When I Close My Eyes (Papoulis) – girls sing soprano; boys sing alto; soprano 1 sing descant

I'll be posting additional audio & YouTube links over the next few weeks so you can brush up! Since we now have tenors & basses, I've noted a few adaptations to the treble chorus music for changed voices.

We will have music folders for you on May 17. Even if you don't know a song too well, we still want your smiling face onstage!

We will have a reception after the concert in the lobby. Any other “meet-ups” you want to schedule with your old pals – go for it!

Spread the word – let's have a reunion to remember!
