Janna Brendell
East Carolina University Recently as I was looking through a file of articles and essays about
School of Music music, I ran across a copy of a conference presentation given by
Greenville, NC 27858 Weston Noble. He began his presentation with the following:
252.328.2557
brendellj@mail.ecu.edu Any great work of art is great because it creates a special world
of its own. It revives and readapts time and space, and the
Past President measure of its success is the extent to which it invites you in

336.427.5165x1308 presentation with these words:
apratt@rock.k12.nc.us
Is it then a special privilege to be a conductor of music? But if we accept the
President-Elect life-long challenge to be a clear, effective channel for the great power of mu-
Tom Shelton sic to flow through into others then we are going to produce LASTING re-
Kernersville Middle School vival and re-adaptation of time and space. The lives of both our students and

At the 2004 Southern Division ACDA conference in Nashville, the various Repertoire and College

ACDA members are not renewing their memberships in the first several years of their Jacksonville, NC 28546

pre-requisite to participating in honors chorus and solo-ensemble festivals. This fact Womens Choirs

choirs are geographically scattered, I sometimes find myself enjoying...a Road Trip! On
December 8 I resisted the lure of the Sunday nap and drove from Chapel Hill to Raleigh
to Greensboro to Chapel Hill, for concerts at Meredith College for Women (3:00PM) and
Bennett College for Women (7:00PM). Both were sampler concerts, displaying the tal-
ents of multiple ensembles. In one day I clocked 150 miles, 6 choirs, 2 string ensembles,
2 organists, a flute choir, a handbell choir, a brass ensemble, and punch and cookies.
Im so glad I did. The cast-of-thousands Meredith concert was like a very exciting shop-
ping trip with my sisters. The smaller Bennett concert was like meeting them back
home.
Youll hear lots of old and new repertoire.
Youll get some fresh ideas on those extra-musical aspects which contribute so
much to a concert: programming multiple ensembles, moving them on and off
stage, stage decoration, concert dress, printed program design, verbal wel-
come and announcements. Not to mention the cookies.
Youll keep up with your friends. I have heard these choirs before, and it is al-
ways a pleasure to see them building on their strengths. I can count on Lisa
Fredenburghs Meredith College choirs to perform at least one whacky piece
(they did!) and at least one piece from the historic repertoire. Newsflash:
since the Capital City Girls Choir, directed by Fran Page, has been split into
three, rather than two levels, the top-level choir has really taken off. They per-
formed four movements of Brittens Ceremony of Carols with great panache.
Valerie Johnsons 20-voice Bennett College Choir displayed wonderful rich-
ness of tone, and her multiple soloists show she has real depth on the bench.
They did a fine performance of Ron Jefferss arrangement of Still, still, and
two pieces written especially for them.
You will have an opportunity to exercise the virtues of humility (when their
choir is better than yours), charity (when their choir isnt yet as good as
yours) and empathy (when their choir breathes in the same wrong place yours
does, and you remember the ultimate powerlessness of conductors).
You may see the fruits of collaboration or mentoring. The Meredith ensembles
joined with the Capital City Girls Choir Cantabile for two pieces, for a mag-
nificent massed sound. The Bennett College Choir had coached, and joined
with, the Mendenhall Middle School eighth grade chorus for the Wilhousky
arrangement of Carol of the Bells with an energy level that bounced right
off the chapel roof.
You will sit down and let someone else do something nice for you, possibly for
the first time in months.
You just may remember why you became a musician in the first place.
and beauty and peace will come in. I never think about it ahead of time. It just happens
when it happens. This year, it happened at the Bennett College concert, when four vio-
lins and a flute played Lo, how a rose with great beauty of phrasing and sweet, sweet
tone. A blessing for a WASP choral musician, from African-American instrumentalists

Choral CollaborationsA Worthy Venture Childrens Choirs~
If you are tired of the same kind of concert format, you might want to think about Anne Saxon
collaborating with another choir. Thats what my group, the Central Carolina Childrens Interest Session
Chorus did this past spring, with the Tar River Childrens Chorus from Rocky Mount.
Their director, Patsy Gilliland, is a Winston-Salem native, and contacted me about this College and University
possibility late last summer. Over the next several months we laid out a plan and got Choirs~
specific dates and times on the calendar. Bob Holquist
TRCC came to us for the first concert, arriving late on a Friday afternoon. CCCC Parents Roundtable Discussion:
fed them dinner, and then gave them time to rehearse in the concert space, a beautiful "Future Directions for NC
Episcopal Church. Our singers arrived later, and both groups rehearsed together. (Patsy ACDA College/University
and I had chosen two pieces that each of our groups already knew, as well as teaching a Choirs"
special piece with which to end the concert). We ended the evening with a couple of
games for the kids to get to know each other better. Our singers then provided housing Community Choirs~
for our guests. Daniel J. Bara
The following morning CCCC arrived at the church for their final dress rehearsal, after Community Choirs: Ef-
dropping off the TRCC singers at the Welcome Station in Old Salem. The Tar River fective Leadership for Ar-
group enjoyed touring Old Salem, followed by lunch at Hanes Mall. The choirs recon- tistic and Organizational
vened in the late afternoon for a final warm-up and staging time. Once the doors were Success with guest pre-
opened for the concert the singers went to the Fellowship Hall for a light snack while the senter Larry Speakman
guests arrived.
CCCC began the concert, followed by an intermission and then the TRCCs performance. Jr. High Choirs~
The combined groups then ended the concert together. Wow! Adding another choirs David Dobbins
singers not only looked great, but sounded wonderful. The church was overflowing with Middle Level Choral

Give and TakeCare and Share at the NC ACDA Exhibit Booth for NCMEA
Last year, members of the NC ACDA Board suggested that we expand the services of our organization by adding an ex-
change venue to our exhibit booth at the 2003 North Carolina Music Educators Annual In-service Conference. This
year, we plan to provide these services at both the NCMEA conference and at our own NC ACDA State Convention.
See details that follow to learn how your participation will promote the success of this venture. Additional ideas are
welcomed.
Components
I. North Carolina Choral Composers: A list of North Carolina composers of choral music and lists of their works was
begun last fall. The compilation was made available at the NC ACDA exhibit booth and, after editing, will be placed
on the NC ACDA website. Single copies of some of these works were also available, for viewing, in a notebook. If
you know of composers whose names and works should be included, please send contact information to Reta R. Phifer
at phifer4music@mindspring.com.
II. Choral Concert Programs: If you have copies of some of your concert programs, bring them and make them avail-
able for other choral directors. Your repertoire selections and concert themes could provide ideas for your colleagues.
III. Single Copy Choral Octavo Give Away: Clean out your stash of single copies of choral octavos. Bring octavos
you dont plan to use and provide them for others. Your trash may be someone elses treasure. We will provide this
service only at the NCMEA In-Service Conference.
IV: Membership Forms: Never take ACDA membership for granted. Encourage your colleagues to join ACDA. Take
some forms to share with your friends.
