May 5, 2009 Rehearsal

I Feel a Song Comin’ On is an appropriate name for this year’s spring concert. It is a compilation of a variety of ballads from other countries as well as some oldies and other familiar tunes that Bruce & Linda have arranged beautifully. Then with magnificent composers like Rutter creating songs like “Pie Jesu” our repertoire is well rounded. We are privileged to have violin accompaniment on “There is Sunshine in My Soul Today” and "Ha Shalom" as well. And the stirring, “A Psalm of Life” with French horn accompaniment is a magnificent way to close the concert.

We hope you are inviting all your family and friends to our Spring Concert this Saturday May 9. We know they will enjoy it.

Performers need to be at the Caldwell High School Auditorium at 5:45 pm to begin final rehearsal before the concert at 7:30 pm. Binders should be cleaned out of any loose papers and free of anything you might have put on the front or sides; music is quietest if put into plastic covers. Please do not wear perfume as some may be allergic to it.

Also the refreshment committee asks that each of us bring a plate of cookies for the refreshment table for after the concert.

The order of the songs remains as follows (unless a change is directed):
1. “I Feel a Song Comin’ On”
2. “Home of My Heart”
3. “Ku-Ku”
4. “Loch Lomond”
5. “Ha Shalom”
6. “April Showers”
7. “Embraceable You”

8. “There Is Sunshine in My Soul Today”
9. “Abide With Me; ‘ Tis Eventide”
10. “Pie Jesu”
11. “A Psalm of Life”
