I just got back from my DMA Recital this evening. Everything went better than I could have hoped and I have posted the recordings online in the concerts area to share with friends and family who were too far away to be here tonight. Thanks to the UGA Concert Choir for their magnificent work!
Monday Nov. 21 at 8pm, Ramsey Concert Hall in the UGA Performing Arts Center
I will be conducting the UGA Concert Choir in a free program consisting of:
4 Early American Hymns - Supply Belcher
Lobet den Herrn, BWV 230 - J.S. Bach
Drei Volkslieder, op. 49 - A. Schoenberg
Serenade to Music - R. V. Williams
3 selections from the Canções Regionais Portuguesas - Fernando Lopes-Graça
See the concerts section of the main site for audio and more info.
I just found out that I’ll be presenting a paper at an April 2006 international congress in honor of Fernando Lopes-Graça (about whom I’m writing my DMA document) in Coimbra, Portugal. The paper: “The Canções Regionais Portuguesas of Fernando Lopes-Graça: methods and significance of the adaptation of folk-materials into the choral medium,” will eventually be a chapter in my document.
