2008-01-26: A Choral Taste of LA
|
|
|
Once again on Saturday, January 26th, the always wonderful Jim Raycroft, member of the Los Angeles Master Chorale, presented the 7th Annual "A Choral Taste of Los Angeles". Each year Jim invites Los Angeles composers to bring a selection of their choral works (often unpublished) to this day-long sight-singing fest. Often what is good for a publisher's audience (lots of High School choruses or congregational choirs) is a watered-down version of that which a composer is capable. The singing audience here is always ready to tackle that which the composer would prefer to present, no matter the difficulty. This makes for one exciting day!
This year's presenters included: Jim Raycroft, Ariel Quintana, Glenn Wonacott, Shawn Kirchner also our able accompianist, Barry Socher with the unforgettable, recently discovered work: "Irving in Egypt" by Wolfgang Amadeus Schwartz for Baritone soloist, chorus and kazoo and Bob Ralston. This was the lineup before lunch.
Following lunch works were presented by: David Larson, Karen Hart, Allan Petker (presenting works by Fred Bock) and Bunny Thornburgh (presenting works by the late Wayne Hooper).
Carol is glad to lend enthusiastic support to Jim's efforts and encourages all greater Los Angeles based singers and choral directors to back up his excellent work for next year's songfest. Participants not only get to sing through new works by the composers, but usually to keep copies as well. The gourmet lunch is always a hit following a heady morning of sight-singing in preparation for the afternoon session.
