We all know the rest of that story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had planned to present a &#8220;Cabaret Comeback&#8221; this past February, but with Omicron we were facing an empty auditorium. So, to use a worn cliche, we put all our songs in one concert. On Sunday at 3 p.m. in Carrick Theater, you will hear two free mini-concerts: &#8220;Reflections,&#8221; which is focused on serious choral music, and &#8220;Cabaret,&#8221; featuring a broad range of Broadway and pop songs as well as two group songs from 2020 \u2014 \u201cThis is Me\u201d and \u201cYou Will Be Found\u201d \u2014 because they so strongly explore the ideas of acceptance, community and celebrating the uniqueness of every person. These are concepts that resonate with the singers. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme that underscores both mini-concerts is a rumination on why we sing: Why is this so elemental to human nature and culture? What does it do for us? Why do we need to sing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We begin with a gospel arrangement of the traditional \u201cHow Can I Keep from Singing?\u201d which led to my posing a set of prompts to the Treble Choir singers asking them why they sing. Weaving through the concert are all 17 statements, grouped by theme, that speak to something in the upcoming song set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, we move into the spiritual \u201cHold On,\u201d which speaks of steadfastness in the face of adversity. Specialist and professor Eileen Guenther in her work &#8220;In Their Own Words: Slave Life and the Power of Spirituals&#8221; writes that \u201cthe hope transmitted through music was palpable and necessary\u201d for enslaved people&#8217;s continued existence. There is an ongoing discussion in the choral world about why spirituals must be sung today, regardless of race, by all singers. It is strongly felt that while spirituals came out of one of the darkest, most oppressive periods in history, the music and textual themes are applicable today, and by singing them, we honor the men and women who suffered so much during the violent years of slavery and use their words and melodies in the ongoing fight against racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the mixed choir presents the timeless text \u201cSanctus\u201d from the Ordinary Mass that has been continuously chorally set since the 12th century. This is followed by contemporary American composer Morten Lauridsen\u2019s expressive setting of a James Agee poem. The popular myth about the inception of this poem is that Agee went out for a last walk on the night he planned to commit suicide. While out, he was overcome by the beauty and strength of nature. He returned home and composed this poem, which speaks about the \u201cstarmade shadows\u201d and wonder that surrounds us on our journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-810x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-810x495.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-350x214.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-730x446.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-768x469.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-348x214.jpg 348w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/transylvnia_choir_3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One final insight into the concert is that the mixed choir worked so hard to learn Sergei Rachmaninoff\u2019s \u201cBogoroditse Djevo.\u201d After returning from a conference during which the first images of the Russian invasion of Ukraine played across the TV, I faced the choir and said, \u201cIt just doesn\u2019t feel right to sing in Russian right now. No matter what Rachmaninoff\u2019s political leanings were (he was against the Bolsheviks and fled), it just feels wrong. I can\u2019t do much, but the one thing I can do is music.\u201d And so we learned Ukraine\u2019s national anthem and joined the ranks of so many individuals and choirs around the world that have sung this beautiful anthem in the weeks since Feb. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to the rumination of why we sing, in the wake of the invasion, I\u2019ve been struck by the videos surfacing of how music is being used as a comfort and coping mechanism in the face of such fear and loss. In one video, a woman sweeps up broken window glass from her apartment while singing the national anthem through her tears. In another is a group of university students sheltering in a basement hallway, rapping a popular Ukrainian artist\u2019s song. There is also a heartbreaking viral video of young girl singing &#8220;Frozen&#8221; in a subway tunnel, sheltering from the bombs \u2014 and there is the one of three Antytila band members standing in combat gear in front of a bombed building, speaking to Ed Sheeran. They offered to appear in his benefit concert from the streets of Kyiv, declaring, \u201cWe are not afraid to sing under the bombs. Through music, we want to show the world that Ukraine is strong and unconquered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music and singing is a thread that links our shared humanity. In the face of war, racism, oppression, fear and ignorance, music allows us to declare: We stand together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why we sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/academics\/faculty\/rmacnay\/\">Regan MacNay<\/a> is an assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Transylvania.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania presents a free choir concert Sunday at 3 p.m. in Carrick Theater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":19513,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"2910,5970,7658,12430,16758,5495","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30,161],"tags":[133,61],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-19509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-fine-arts","tag-choir","tag-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Transylvania choir concert to highlight &#039;shared humanity&#039;
