Christmas performance
by Michael Gettleman
Collegian Staff Writer
On the heels of a warm-up
performance at Diehl Elementary,
the Behrend Concert Choir is
now preparing for its show on
campus, scheduled for December
9 at 8 pm.
"We're really excited about the
songs that we've assembled this
year," says David Stuntz, director
of the choir. "The group has
worked very hard all semester arid
we're looking for the effort to pay
off."
On some of the pieces, the
choir will be joined by the
Presque Isle Brass Quintet, a
group of five members from the
Erie Philharmonic Orchestra.
Says Stuntz, "The addition of the
brass ensemble adds a wonderful
touch to many of our pieces.
We're fortunate to have them
performing with us."
The songs which have been
selected vary in languages, places
of origin, and time periods. The
diverse program includes songs
from the 16th century up to
traditional American hymns.
The brass group will
participate on "Christmas
Contata," a three-part score by
Daniel Pinkham. This is a very
involved piece with. three distinct
sections, each having its own
unique rhythm.
The ladies of the choir will

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE
The Collegian Thursday, December 7, 1989
sing a traditional piece called
"Patapan". This piece features
Michelle Gares on the piccolo
and Julie Buckler on the bongo.
Its catchy tempo has made this
one a favorite of the group.
The gentlemen also have an
exclusive piece. "You Come
Too" is from the poem
"Stopping By Woods On A
Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost
and was set to music by Randall
Thompson. It's a touching ballad
and, as Mr. Stuntz said, "If you
listen closely throughout, you
can almost hear the snow
falling."
There are some traditional
pieces as well which everyone
should be familiar with. The
program includes four-part
divicinng of geaconal favnritec
"Deck The Halls" and "The
Twelve Days Of Christmas."
The concert will utilize the
effects of the echo on "While
Shepherds Watched." A quartet
made up of Lalena Forsgren,
Laura Muns, Dan Cedrone and
David Starsnic will assist the
already astounding sound of the
Winter Garden. Another
selection, "Whence Is That
Goodly Fragrance Flowing?,"
features a strong soloist role by
Whitney Hoffacker., _ .
The "Lute-Book Lullaby" by
William Ballet is also on the
program. On this piece, the choir

puts forth a peaceful sound, much

Handbells are used on the piece
"Come Thou Redeemer." The
bells set a serene and seasonal
mood for the concert as a whole.
The choir will also perform
"Stale Nacht," a David Stuntz
original arrangement of the
traditional favorite "Silent Night"
as well as "II Est Ne Le Devin
Enfant." Translated, this means
"He Is Born The Divine Christ
Child."
Recently, the choir performed
a number of songs at our adopted
school, Diehl Elementary. Said
choir president David Starsnic, "It
was a lot of fun for us as well as
for the kids at Diehl. We really
enjoyed hearing them sing along
on • some of the more familiar
tunes."
"We even provided some
comic relief on the 'Twelve Days
Of Christmas.' We did some hand
motions with the students and
used a few cute props that got
some laughs: It was nice to get
the practice in a public forum and
playing around with the kids was
king." .
The choir's one and only
performance will take place in the
Reed Building Winter Garden on
December 9 and it starts at 8 pm.
Tickets are on sale for $2 from
Mr: David Stunt?' at extension
6289 - or from any choir Member.
