Press Release-For Immediate Release

For further information, please contact Rick Fortney at 440-933-7771.

TrueNorth Presents 9/11-We Remember

TrueNorth Chorale and Symphony, under the direction of Rick Fortney, =
will be leading our community in a time of reflection and renewal, "9/11 =
- We Remember", on Sunday, September 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Avon Lake =
High School Auditorium.=20

TrueNorth's 40-voice choir and 30-piece orchestra began rehearsals for =
the 2005-2006 season a few weeks early so that the community could share =
in this experience in reflection of September 11th. The concert features =
Rene Clausen's Memorial that actually was written in response to the =
events of 9/11. It promises to be a very moving concert filled with =
hope, healing, cleansing, and mercy.

Fortney attended the premiere performance of this piece in NYC at the =
American Choral Directors Association national convention in 2002. =
Ironically, while musicians from across the country were inside =
Riverside Church, and then later at Lincoln Center, experiencing and =
making a statement through the arts in response to the tragedy our =
country and world had suffered, outside in the streets, leading to the =
United Nations, were protestors of all ages and beliefs making their own =
statements. Police forces with rifles and protective gear lined the =
streets and every corner within the city, striving to maintain the peace =
in this high-alert time. The experience made a dramatic impression on =
Fortney as he was developing TrueNorth Cultural Arts, recognizing the =
profound impact the arts can have in raising awareness and encouraging =
the community.

Each year, TrueNorth Cultural Arts strives to perform at least one =
concert where, through the concert, people are made aware of certain =
needs and funds are raised. In the past, TrueNorth has had special =
concerts for the refugees in Kosovo, the Woman's Center at St. John =
Westshore Hospital, the Ireland Cancer Center, Brookside Hunger Center, =
and the firefighters and police men and woman of NYC after 9/11. Over =
$50,000.00 has been raised through these concerts. This year, TrueNorth =
will be raising money solely for TrueNorth as it builds its financial =
base, ensuring its longevity and thus the ability to do more, be more =
and raise more for others through all art forms in the future.

Memorial is a major work for mixed chorus, orchestra and baritone =
soloist, based on subject material which reflects the horrific events of =
September 11, 2001, in New York City. Though presented as one continuous =
movement, the composition follows a program that is comprised of four =
sub-sections - "September Morning", "The Attack", "Prayers", and =
"Petitions". The first two sections reflect the actual chain of events =
leading to and including the attacks upon the World Trade Center towers. =
The music of destruction, however, is kept to a minimum in favor of =
musical emphasis upon a possible spiritual response to these events. =
Healing, cleansing and hope are the main themes of the work.

"September Morning" paints the picture of a beautiful, sunlit morning in =
New York City. In this opening section, the chorus is used as a section =
of the orchestra, intoning wordless vocalises in a Debussy-like texture. =
Premonition of the attack is then heard in the orchestra as the music =
moves into "The Attack" sequence. As might be expected, the attack on =
the World Trade Center towers inspire music that is highly dramatic, =
rhythmically intense, and colorful, making use of extended percussion =
and the entire range of both instrumental and choral forces. The only =
text used in the first two sections is the phrase, "O God, why have you =
forsaken me?" The word for God is also presented in Hebrew - Adonai. The =
reason for the minimal use of text owes to the actual nature of witness =
responses to the shocking, unfolding drama of the attack on the Twin =
Towers. It was a moment in time when the vocalism of words in thoughtful =
sentences gave way to sensory overload and the abbreviated, clipped =
cries of disbelief, "Where is God?" a question that vexed every =
terrifying cry that day.

The third and fourth sections, subtitled "Prayers" and "Petitions", =
respectively, move away from programmatic description of physical world =
events to musical evocation of spiritual responses to the events. The =
text of the baritone solo uses portions of a series of prayers written =
by Dr. Roy Hammerling of the Concordia College Religion Department. Dr. =
Hammerling wrote these intercessory prayers in the days immediately =
following September 11, 2001. Under the baritone solo, the chorus =
intones a prayer-like allegoric chant based on the structure of a =
Buddhist Metta meditation - a three-part series of personal meditation.

The final section, "Petitions", is an elegiac and introspective musical =
prayer for mercy, mutual understanding, and hope for the future. The =
primary text is one verse from Psalm 80, "O God, shine your light on us, =
and we shall be saved." This phrase is presented, first sequentially and =
then simultaneously, in English, Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic. In =
juxtaposing these languages, some of which are the languages of the =
cultures at war with one another, it is the hope that in so doing we may =
find a common ground of higher being, and be called away from darkness =
into light. The piece ends with a quiet Kyrie- a plea for God's mercy on =
this world.

The concert ends with Four American Folk Hymns for chorus and orchestra =
arranged by Mack Wilberg: Saints Bound for Heaven; Death Shall Not =
Destroy My Comfort; We'll Shout and Give Him Glory; and Come, Thou Fount =
of Every Blessing.=20

Avon Lake High School Auditorium is located at 175 Avon Belden Road in =
Avon Lake. Concert admission is $5.00, with tickets available at the =
door or at TrueNorth's Gallery, located at 33491 Lake Road.  The Gallery =
opens at 12-noon daily.

For further information, please call 440-933-7771 or visit =
