*TRUENORTH CULTURAL ARTS SEEKS MUSICIANS FOR OCTOBER CONCERT*

All Instrumentalists and Vocalists are Invited



Avon Lake, OH—*The TrueNorth Chorale and Chamber Orchestra *have begun
rehearsals for their Fall Concert, any interested instrumentalists and
vocalists are invited to join us at this time.  The Chorale rehearses on
Saturday mornings, 9:45 – 11:45 a.m., and the Chamber Orchestra rehearses
on Sunday evenings, 7:15 – 9:30 p.m. under the direction of Rick Fortney.
TrueNorth Cultural Arts is located in Avon Lake, 33463 Lake Road.   Safety
measures and CDC guidelines are respected throughout this pandemic.



*The TrueNorth Chorale and Chamber Orchestra* will be in concert at Bay
Presbyterian Church on Saturday evening, October 30th, 7:00 p.m.   The
Concert is free, with a love offering being taken.



The Chorale will be singing *Beatitudes* by Patrick Hawes.  The eight
Beatitude verses of St. Matthew’s Gospel are some of Christ’s most
comforting words.   The recurrence of the word ‘blessed’ makes for a
unified collection of pieces – closely linked but each with its own
character … peaceful intimacy.  The Chorale will also be singing *Psalm 57*
by Jean Berger with brass accompaniment.

The Chamber Orchestra, Adam Murray Concert Master, will be performing the
famous *Intermezzo* from *Cavalleria Rusticana*, composed by Pietro
Mascagni.  *Cavalleria Rusticana* takes place on Easter Sunday in a
Sicilian village.   The *Intermezzo *is one of the most beautiful moments
in all of opera!

The Chamber Orchestra will also be performing Nikolai
Rimsky-Korsakov’s *Russian
Easter Overture**.   *In Russia, Easter is known as the “Bright Holiday.”
You can almost sense nature’s springtime renewal in the fresh, joyful
vitality of this music.   The score is prefaced by two quotations from
the Old and New Testaments and a third, written by the composer; these
correspond to each of the overture's three parts. The first part is
prefaced by two verses from Psalm 68:1–2; the second from the Gospel of
Mark 16:1–6; and a third by a description of the Easter celebration written
by the composer.

*The Chorale and Chamber Orchestra will be performing Gabriel's Oboe*,
written for Roland Joffé's 1986 film "The Mission" and composed by Ennio
Morricone.   And will close the concert with *All Creatures of our God and
King* (*LASST UNS ERFREUEN*) arranged by Mack Wilberg.  “*Let them praise
the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted*.”  Psalm 148:13.
