Dale Victorine’s “The Road Not Taken” for 3/20

Dear Sotto Voce members:  Dale E. Victorine’s piece entitled The Road Not Taken,  which is based on a poem by Robert Frost has been added by request for the Friday, March 20th concert.  I have asked Bill Downes to copy 46 copies hoping that that will cover those who did not have it from the NCCUSA concert we did back in 2002 or 2003 in Palo Alto.  We will have to run through it at the end of rehearsals on Monday, March 16th.  The piece is not difficult either in rhythmic organization nor in its tonality (minor/ major tonal system).  It probably won’t take more than 10 or 15 minutes to rehearse.  I also would suggest we run it again on the March 18th rehearsal at St. Joseph’s Cathedral.

Outreach Concert
St. Timothy’s Lutheran Church

The Sotto Voce (SJSC outreach choir) will have a rehearsal on Monday, March 23rd, starting at 7:00 P.M. at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. We will rehearse the following numbers in preparation for the performance at St. Timothy Lutherin Church, on Camden Avenue, in San Jose (off highway 85). This concert will have a call time of 1:00 P.M. and will last about 40 minutes:

• Ride the Chariot
• Sicut Cervus
• Sing Me to Heaven
• Keep Your Lamps
• Wondrous Love
• Down By the Riverside (copies will be given out at this rehearsal)
• Ave Verum
• Little Innocent Lamb (copies will be given out at this rehearsal)
• Tomorrow Shall be my Dancing Day
• Sanctus from Gospal Mass
• Bogoroditse Dievo
• Mollicone’s, Hear Me Redeemer
• Old Irish Blessing (Copies will be given out etc.

This is much more music than we will use, but while we have this extra time to rehearse, I think we could use it to prepare for any other concerts later in the Spring.
