— mrp 8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 19, 1989 SOCIAL Philharmonic schedules their season finale The month of April will mark the Grand Season Finale of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Phil- ‘harmonic with Hugh Keelan con- ducting. Soprano Maria Giordano, baritone Jeffrey Ambrosini and chorusmaster Steve Barton with the Philharmonic Chorus will perform the works of Anthony Dvorak and Gustave Mahler. ~The concert is scheduled for Friday, April 28 at the Kirby Cen- ter and Saturday, April 29 at the Masonic Temple at 8 p.m. Dvorak's, “Te Deum, Op. 103" will open the program. The Latin hymn, “Te Deum Laudamas: (We Praise Thee O God) dates back to the third century, A.D. A Joyous expression of thanksgiving and praise, it appeared in early medie- val church writings. Dvorak set the “Te Deum” to music and it received its premiere on October +21, 1892. An imaginative musical piece, Dvorak's “Te Deum” keeps the form of liturgical responses, alter- nating soloist and chorus. In its four large sections, the orchestra, full chorus and soloists focus on the feeling of the text, giving it an emotional quality. “Te Deum” will feature soprano Maria Giordano, baritone Jeffrey Ambrosini and the Philharmonic Chorus. The chorus is unique because it comprises members from area choruses who bring their individual singing experiences together. The members are not paid for their talents, yet these professionals must audition for a position with the chorus. - Preparation for the Philhar- monic chorus includes a 2 1/2 hour Sunday evening rehearsal over a 12-week period. Steve Barton, conductor of the Scran- ton Singers Guild leads the 63- member group. : Also to be performed is Gustav Mahler's “Symphony No. 5.” Al- though this may initially sound like a funeral march, it later pro- gresses to a popular style march, before returning to a violent cli- max. Written in 1901 and 1902, the Symphony No. 5 received its first performance in Colgone under Mahler's baton. The orchestration is rich, including full accompani- ment of strings and woodwinds - along with six French horns and four trumpets. There are five movements, which span 90 min- - utes. Like Dvorak’'s “Te Deum,” Symphony No. 5 is also an emo- tional piece of music. The concert is made possible by Penn Security Bank & Trust Company, the Annette Evans Foundation and Friends of the Philharmonic. Tickets are avail- able from Gianetta Music, the Kirby Center and the Philharmonic at 287-1916 or 654-4788.
