Blyth presents Faith. of Our Fathers
Do you enjoy an old fashioned hymn -sing?
Or listening to Negro spirituals? Or perhaps
a lively jazz version of The Creation is more
your style. Whatever your tastes, you will
enjoy "Faith of Our Fathers", a concert of
sacred music presented by the Blyth .at
Festival Singers in Blyth Memorial Hall on
Sunday, March 4 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The choir, which draws members from a
40 -mile radius .of Blyth, has chosen for its
second concert this season ' a pleasing
repertoire of music from the Christian
tradition.' The broad spectrum of choices
include works from the Renaissance and
• •
Baroque periods, the classic Ave Verum by
Mozart, the hauntingly beautiful Shaker
piece Simple Gifts, and compositions by
twentieth century composers Healey Willan
and Gordon Young.
Following a recent rehearsal. for this
concert, director Laurie Rowbotham
remarked, "It has been a pleasure to
prepare the choir for this concert; : I have
enjoyed watching them swing into the
rhythms of the pop -style Creation, and then
turn around and learn the difficult coun-
terparts of Dufay's Trumpet Gloria. We
have all enjoyed chnosing_ and preparint the
numerous hymns that will be interspersed
throughout the concert." .
Rowbotham and the choir are, looking
forward to having the audience join them in
a hymn -sing, as well as presenting .them
with many contrasts in style and mood from
the sacred tradition.
Bring a friend and enjoy the Singers in
concert on March 4. Tickets at $4. and $1.50
'are available from the box office (523-9300),
the Blyth Saga (523-4331) or choir members.
The directorand choir invite you to join
them for refreshments in the lower hall
