Dear UU Musicians,
I'm writing once again with information about the Southeast District UU Choral Fest, hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Winston-Salem, NC, September 29-30. A combined choir of singers from all over the district will prepare youA Mass For Unitarian Universalists (text by the Rev. Frances Dearman). We will rehearse together throughout the day on Saturday. In the evening we will have a concert on which individual choirs may perform for each other. Sunday morning we will perform the Missa Brevis with orchestra(!) at the 10:30 a.m. worship service.
Sheet Music: The Missa Brevis is free to Unitarian Universalist choirs. Here is a link to a pdf of the score:
Rehearsal Tracks: In order to facilitate easier learning for your singers, we have invested in sung rehearsal tracks. Below is a link to my dropbox containing the tracks, arranged by voice type. You can open them in your dropbox OR you can download the tracks directly to your computer without having a dropbox account.
Registration:
Online registration will open July 1 and close Sept 1. The cost for participation is $25 per person and includes three excellent meals, plus a pick-up breakfast at registration, snacks, and a wine, cheese, & dessert reception following the Saturday night concert. Recommendations for area lodging will be provided and home hospitality will be made available for those who need it. Please request home hospitality by August 15.
If you plan to join us in September, please drop me a message soon - it will inform our planning to know about how many intend to participate. I have already heard from Black Mountain, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Morehead City, Peace Fellowship, Wilmington, and Roanoke, confirming their interest in participating. If you do not wish to be contacted anymore, please let me know that as well.
I look forward to hearing from you.
