CAROLS FILL THE AIR The sound of Christmas carols filled the air as every one arrived at the school to attend the 1982 Holiday Choral Concert. Guests were greeted by caroling min- strels from the Renaissance period. Once seated, girls in black dresses strode onto the dim- ly lit stage. The Treble Sing- ers sang Wir Eilen Mit Schwachen, Dech Emsegin Schritten by Johann S. Bach. It was a wonderful blengl of voice, piano played by Roxanne Orrell 00L and cello played by Mary Beth Major 02; Joan Abbinante 00L was the soprano soloist on uOne Star and was ac- companied by Jill Swanson on the piano. As the Treble Singers left the stage a faint sound of Christmas carols once again filled the auditorium. It was the Renaissance minstrels, better known as the Cham- ber Singers, returning. This small group of carolers meet extra-curricularly and their harmonizing voices brought a definite charm to the entire concert. The Bells at Speyer was an excellent combination of their talents, as they imitated the ringing of Christmas bells. Just as they had come, they left wishing the crowd a Happy New Year. Clad in green robes, the Varsity Choir strode onto the risers and commenced in a strong, bold version of liGlo- ria by Antonio Vivaldi. They sang a variety of Chris- tian and Jewish folk songs, such as Joyful! Let the Earth Be Glad, an upbeat, jazzy version of John Hen- ry with alto soloist Linda McClora. and 'tPerhaps Love with guitarist Steve Little and pianist Judy Swanson. The Varsity Choir concluded with bass soloists Tim Fulford and Dan Taube leading the group in a clap- ping rendition of Sha- drack. 26 HOLIDAY CHORAL CONCERT The Puritan Bell Choir from the Colonial Church of Edina, consisting of eleven girls ringing a variety of bells, played Variations on a French Carol. They also accompanied the Varsity Choir in Ding, Dong! Merri-I ly on High. After a short intermission, our renowned Concert Choir came on stage and glorious- ly sang llExultate Deo. The sound of Laurie Kreuzigeris tinkling harp accompanied the choir's melodic voices in a llCarol from an lrish Cab- in. Bethany Rogers, a so- prano soloist and Laurie Kreuziger on harp accompa- nied the Concert Choir in a traditional English carol HTomorrow Shall be my Dancing Day. The choir ended in a jubilant Negroe spiritual song, ilAin't That Good News accompanied by tenor soloist Mike Seasly. The concert ended with the entire mass choir on stage singing mTwas the The Renaissance Age revisits Edina. Night Before Christmas with a variety of solos which told the quaint story of Christmas Eve. Then the Concert Orchestra came on to accompany the choir on the traditional liHallelujah chorus. After the hard work and practice were done the fol- lowing choir members had this to say: Joan Abbinante OOi-Treble Singer- ilWe've put a lot of work into the concert and l feel it paid off. John Gendreau 00i- Varsity Choir llm really glad this year there was a lot better discipline than last year. And I'm glad everyone is taking it more seriously. Pam Moore t12l-Concert Choir- ult was too bad it was the last time the mass choir performed. It was great hav- ing all three hundred singers together and was the best it's ever been!

LIFE IS A CABARET On December third and fourth there was a very dif- ferent yet appealing produc- tion put on at Edina High School. The Orchestra's Cabaret Concert, directed by Mr. Edwin Melichar. was a compilation of hard work and dedication from all the sections of the orchestra. All of this time and effort, once thought so tiring and unpro- ductive really paid off. On those magical nights, every- 28 CABARET CONCERT day students were trans- formed into members of the Minnesota Chamber Orches- tra. The music they pro- duced was beautifully played. It was hard to be- lieve the orchestra was made up of only students! High school ones at that! When, at one point in their lives, say about fifth grade, all that could be heard were a few squeaks. Now, years later, wonderful sounds emerge from those same wooden instruments. Among those sounds includ- ed Sophisticated Ladies by Duke Ellington, some classical pieces such as Pe- ter Tschaikovsky's Fifth Symphony and The Christ- mas Waltz. which set the mood for the oncoming holi- days. For a more livened mood the orchestra played the Pizzicato Polka. But this concert was not totally all music. The orchestra also took time out to put togeth- er a skit which was a some- what different version of a political debate includ- ing the Republican, Demo- cratic, Valley Girl, and Very Silly political parties. To sum up the Cabaret Con- cert, Chris Nelson com- mented, tilt was a fun little concert! Walter Poxon and Peter Elvin duel instruments during a skit. Karen Kain and Heidi Grund concentrate intently on their music.
