Masterworks Singers Newsletter Spring 2025 No. 4

Dear People,

What an exciting night last Thursday night was! It was a thrill to be with you all again in the process of making joyful music!

This Newsletter is going to focus on giving you some information about our upcoming rehearsal schedule.

I also would like to announce that we have three remaining scores up on Edublogs. There you will find the pieces that fill out the Spring Program. Soon, there will be full performance links for your listening and practice.

Rehearsal Adjustments

Regular rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7 PM to 9 pm.

The rehearsal on Thursday, February 13 will be moved to Tuesday, February 11 due to the annual TMEA convention in San Antonio.

In March, there will be no rehearsal on Thursday, March 20 due to spring break.

Rehearsal requests for this Thursday.
1. Listen to and pre-study movement 4 which we do not read last week.
2. Practice the very fast text of Movement 3.
3. Once the performance links to Sky Born Music, In This Heart, and Down to the River are posted on Edublogs, please give those a pre-listen.

Please continue to communicate with friends and relatives who enjoy music to come along and join this amazing community! We are always open to new members, and sharing our music with the special people in our lives is so exciting.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING AND HEARING YOU TONIGHT!!

Blessings to all,

Morris

THE MUSIC FOR THIS SPRING SEMESTER:

We are going to perform one of the most beautiful new works composed in the last few years. The uplifting performances of The Gift of Life by John Rutter, and the wonderful accomplished performance of Magnificat by Taylor Scott Davis have brought new audience members into the awareness that this wonderful community of singers we call Masterworks, is truly bringing "Peace through Music".

I am thrilled to announce the Spring Major work will be Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg, with full chamber orchestra accompaniment. This work is centered around the concepts of Hope and Light. It has received rave reviews from singers and audiences, and now it is our turn to enjoy the experience of singing it together.

For those who are using tablet readers, you may go to the Edublogs site and download the PDF scores.

OUR SPRING PERFORMANCES ARE SCHEDULED FOR...

Performance Number One will be Sunday evening May 4, 2025 at 7:30 in St. Theresa's Sanctuary.

Perfomance Number Two will be either Thursday evening May 8, or Friday evening May 9, at St. Catherine of Sienna Church. That date will be made definite within the next week.

This is a slightly different type of schedule than we have had in other Spring semesters. The plan is to perfom twice in close succession rather than having several weeks in between. This will allow for a longer work process through the Spring and the energy of two close performances.
