Chester River Chorale
United States
Приєднався 25 січ 2022
The Chester River Chorale is a vibrant all-volunteer, 95-voice community chorus serving the Kent County community. The Chorale presents several concerts each holiday season and spring. As a non-auditioned community choir, our members range from those with graduate-level music degrees and professional music experience to singers who do not read music. Members range in age from teenagers to octogenarians and come together through a love of singing, learning new music, and expanding their musical skills. If you love to sing, join us! The Chorale's repertoire features classical masterworks and other sacred and contemporary music, including Broadway show tunes, spirituals, folk, pop and contemporary classical. For several years the Chamber Singers presented Independence Forever! to kick off the annual Chestertown Tea Party Festival. The Chorale has also performed with the National Music Festival Symphony Orchestra for seven seasons. The Chorale is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

"From Chesapeake men I come, These men sun-tanned, quiet breed, With eyes of English blue and faces Lined with many a watch of sunlit waters; These men with cautious mouths and lazy stride, Grizzled-chinned, hip-booted, oil-skinned men; These men, they fear the Chesapeake, And yet they would not leave her. Down to the bay they go, Top-sailed schooner, one-masted skipjack, Canoe-sterned bigeye, ...

He's deserted the flock to find a mate and raise a family of his own. Now he challenges all the other crows hawks...owls... and humans who dwell in this woods to try and stop him."

"When times were hard, my mother would say to me, 'Gilbert, you're almost pure English.' She was proud of her English blood. It wasn't until years later after Mama had passed from the scene that an older cousin told me about that 'almost.' It was our great grandmother, Johanna Hague, born in Holland in 1800... died in Maryland in 1898... she made us one-eighth Dutch. My cousin remembered Johann...

Nice vocal balance, and good job recording. Thanks!
Wow, so so lovely! Well done everyone, thank you!!
Thank YOU! We loved it. And speaking as an alto, I loved the movement of my part, and the deep quiet bit at ~ 1:55. A pleasure to sing! ❤
❤❤❤
I loved singing it too! Also an alto. What an honor, really. Arrangers never seem to get the credit they deserve.
@@pamelanichols476 thank you!
