Dear members,

As you all know, a couple of members from the board and fund-drive committee
will be preparing lunch for the workshop this Saturday. If any of you have a
pick-up truck or know of anyone that has one, we need to haul a grill to
Ascension in order to grill some burgers and hot dogs. So, please contact me at
the office or shoot me an email if any of you have access to a pick-up truck.
Thanks so much and see you all on Saturday morning!!

With best regards,

Dear Chorale, I just learned that emails that I thought all members were
getting have only gone to the Yahoo group people (you). Will you try to
spread the word to your friends about "start up" Fall info.

1. Workshop this Saturday August 15th from 9:00 - 2:00 at Ascension Church
10:30 Johnston St  VERY IMPORTANT to get the season off to a great start. We
have a lot of music to learn during the Fall.

2.Regular rehearsals, starting August 17th (7:00 PM) will be held at First
Baptist Church Choir room.

Please assist us in getting the word out. Thank you. Haygood

Hopefully you are still in the office or at least at a computer. Please put this
on the CA Yahoo message board.

Betty Green, wife of Tommy Green, passed away this week. Tommy is a former
member of the Chorale Board of Directors. He and Betty have been long time
supporters of Chorale. Funeral services will be held at Asbury UMC Saturday
morning at 11. Visitation is Friday night from 6-8 at Asbury in the Fellowship
Hall and from 10-11 Saturday before the Service.

Thanks,

I hope y'all received the following email.  I can't tell who got it and who
didn't, so I thought I'd just cover the bases.  Please send this request out to
all your DAF grantees ASAP so we can get this spread all over the state.  Ask
them to share it with their boards and members also.  Thanks so much!

We're down to the wire and need everyone to "get the vote out!"  We have just
put 3 very important messages on the CapWiz link.  One to the Governor urging
him to restore the Arts funding, one to the Lt. Governor urging him to support
our Legislative floor leaders as they go to the Governor on our behalf and both
the Senate and House members.  This will be our only chance to get the funding
for the arts reinstated.  If we don't get a huge response from all over the
state, we are in serious trouble.  I know I'm preaching to the choir, but this
is just that crucial.

As a reminder:

Go to www.lparts.org

In the bottom left hand corner insert your Zip Code and press GO.  You'll be
taken directly to the ALERT page.  You will see the 3 State of Louisiana alerts.
Remember to complete all 3, one at a time. Once you finish the first one, you'll
get the confirmation screen.  At the upper left, you'll see, "Legislative Alerts
and Updates."  Under "Statewide" you will see the alerts to the Governor and Lt.
Governor.  You can complete the second message to the other recipient.  Further
down under "Smart Alert" you will see "State of Louisiana" where you will find
the message to your legislators.  Complete that one and you're done.  I you
should have any problem, don't hesitate to contact me.

It is VITALLY important that you take action on ALL 3 alerts and. more
importantly, that you pass this on to everyone you know . . . friends, family,
boards, artists, educators . . . well, I think you get the picture.  We need to
generate another 40,000 emails if we're going to make an impact on Governor
Jindal.

Thanks so much for your support.

Subject: LPAlist: ALERT: It's Time to Contact Your Representative . . . TODAY!
To: thelpa@...



The House will begin debate on HB1, The Budget, on Thursday.  Please take a few
moments to contact your Representative asking for his/her support of the arts in
your community.  It’s very easy . . . simply go to www.lparts.org and put your
zip code in the box marked “Write Your Legislators” at the lower left side
of the page and click on “GO!”  Look for the Action Alert, “Louisiana:
House of Representatives to Debate Budget” and click on “Take Action.” 
You will find a message asking legislators for their support of the House
Appropriations Committee amendment restoring the arts funding to the CRT budget.
If you feel you must, you made add a personal note since these will go only to
your individual Representatives rather than the full House.  But, please keep
your message short and sweet.  Because I know my Representative well, I changed
the first line of the message to read, "Our arts organizations in Ouachita
Parish need your support through your vote to approve the House Appropriations
Committee amendment restoring the Decentralized Arts Funding and Statewide
Grants Programs to the CRT budget."

As always, please forward any response that you receive from your Representative
to my attention.  We always want to stay abreast of any negative responses so we
can handle those as well as any positive responses so we can thank that
Representative at Arts Advocacy Day next Wednesday.

Thanks for your support!

Hello, my fellow softies…



We just rescued two kittens (sister and brother) this morning from certain death
(this schmuck had them in a sack and was heading for the canal…he was LAUGHING
about it, saying, “I’m not gonna kill dem kittens, I’m feedin’ da
gators!” I was nearly sick!). We’re going to get them vaccinated today. They
still need to be bottle-fed, but not for too much longer. Their ears still
slightly droop, but they’re pretty mobile! The male is black and white, female
looks like she’s going to be tortoiseshell (has a little cream-colored stripe
down her nose). Very sweet and snuggly (will burrow in the crook of your arm).
They can play piano and bass, and are good at reading charts. But I have three
grown darlings of my own and can’t keep any more. I know that some of you have
critters of your own (or are not necessarily “cat people”), but if you know
of anyone who would like them, PLEASE give me a call at 400-6766!



Purrrrrr…

Hello! Please see the following forwarded message from Dr. Haygood.
Also, I misspoke on Monday night- the ticketing manager from the
symphony will be at rehearsal on March 9th (not March 2nd)to sell
Side-by-Side tickets. So, you have a little more time to get your
shekels together. No rehearsal on Monday... Happy Mardi Gras!

"As musicians, we believe deeply in the importance of what we do, and
the power of music to heal. We know that you do also, as a fan of
classical music, so the following may be of interest to you. It is a
welcome address given to entering freshmen at the Boston
Conservatory, given by Karl Paulnack, pianist and director of the
music division:"



Read it here, or below

http://www.symphonymusicians.com/WelcomeAddressbyKarlPaulnack/tabid/87
/Defau
lt.aspx









Welcome Address, by Karl Paulnack

"One of my parents' deepest fears, I suspect, is that society would
not properly value me as a musician, that I wouldn't be appreciated.
I had very good grades in high school, I was good in science and
math, and they imagined that as a doctor or a research chemist or an
engineer, I might be more appreciated than I would be as a musician.
I still remember my mother's remark when I announced my decision to
apply to music school-she said, "you're WASTING your SAT scores." On
some level, I think, my parents were not sure themselves what the
value of music was, what its purpose was. And they LOVED music, they
listened to classical music all the time. They just weren't really
clear about its function. So let me talk about that a little bit,
because we live in a society that puts music in the "arts and
entertainment" section of the newspaper, and serious music, the kind
your kids are about to engage in, has absolutely nothing whatsoever
to do with entertainment, in fact it's the opposite of entertainment.
Let me talk a little bit about music, and how it works.



The first people to understand how music really works were the
ancient Greeks. And this is going to fascinate you; the Greeks said
that music and astronomy were two sides of the same coin. Astronomy
was seen as the study of relationships between observable, permanent,
external objects, and music was seen as the study of relationships
between invisible, internal, hidden objects. Music has a way of
finding the big, invisible moving pieces inside our hearts and souls
and helping us figure out the position of things inside us. Let me
give you some examples of how this works.



One of the most profound musical compositions of all time is the
Quartet for the End of Time written by French composer Olivier
Messiaen in 1940. Messiaen was 31 years old when France entered the
war against Nazi Germany. He was captured by the Germans in June of
1940, sent across Germany in a cattle car and imprisoned in a
concentration camp.



He was fortunate to find a sympathetic prison guard who gave him
paper and a place to compose. There were three other musicians in the
camp, a cellist, a violinist, and a clarinetist, and Messiaen wrote
his quartet with these specific players in mind. It was performed in
January 1941 for four thousand prisoners and guards in the prison
camp. Today it is one of the most famous masterworks in the
repertoire.



Given what we have since learned about life in the concentration
camps, why would anyone in his right mind waste time and energy
writing or playing music? There was barely enough energy on a good
day to find food and water, to avoid a beating, to stay warm, to
escape torture-why would anyone bother with music? And yet-from the
camps, we have poetry, we have music, we have visual art; it wasn't
just this one fanatic Messiaen; many, many people created art. Why?
Well, in a place where people are only focused on survival, on the
bare necessities, the obvious conclusion is that art must be,
somehow, essential for life. The camps were without money, without
hope, without commerce, without rec reation, without basic respect,
but they were not without art. Art is part of survival; art is part
of the human spirit, an unquenchable expression of who we are. Art is
one of the ways in which we say, "I am alive, and my life has
meaning."



On September 12, 2001 I was a resident of Manhattan. That morning I
reached a new understanding of my art and its relationship to the
world. I sat down at the piano that morning at 10 AM to practice as
was my daily routine; I did it by force of habit, without thinking
about it. I lifted the cover on the keyboard, and opened my music,
and put my hands on the keys and took my hands off the keys. And I
sat there and thought, does this even matter? Isn't this completely
irrelevant? Playing the piano right now, given what happened in this
city yesterday, seems silly, absurd, irreverent, pointless. Why am I
here? What place has a musician in this moment in time? Who needs a
piano player right now? I was completely lost.



And then I, along with the rest of New York, went through the journey
of getting through that week. I did not play the piano that day, and
in fact I contemplated briefly whether I would ever want to play the
piano again. And then I observed how we got through the day.



At least in my neighborhood, we didn't shoot hoops or play Scrabble.
We didn't play cards to pass the time, we didn't watch TV, we didn't
shop, we most certainly did not go to the mall. The first organized
activity that I saw in New York, that same day, was singing. People
sang. People sang around fire houses, people sang "We Shall
Overcome". Lots of people sang America the Beautiful. The first
organized public event that I remember was the Brahms Requiem, later
that week, at Lincoln Center, with the New York Philharmonic. The
first organized public expression of grief, our first communal
response to that historic event, was a concert. That was the
beginning of a sense that life might go on. The US Military secured
the airspace, but recovery was led by the arts, and by music in
particular, that very night.



>From these two experiences, I have come to understand that music is
not
>part of
"arts and
entertainment" as the newspaper section would have us believe. It's
not a luxury, a lavish thing that we fund from leftovers of our
budgets, not a plaything or an amusement or a pass time. Music is a
basic need of human survival. Music is one of the ways we make sense
of our lives, one of the ways in which we express feelings when we
have no words, a way for us to understand things with our hearts when
we cannot with our minds.



Some of you may know Samuel Barber's heartwrenchingly beautiful piece
Adagio for Strings. If you don't know it by that name, then some of
you may know it as the background music which accompanied the Oliver
Stone movie Platoon, a film about the Vietnam War. If you know that
piece of music either way, you know it has the ability to crack your
heart open like a walnut; it can make you cry over sadness you didn't
know you had. Music can slip beneath our conscious reality to get at
what's really going on inside us the way a good therapist does.



I bet that you have never been to a wedding where there was
absolutely no music. There might have been only a little music, there
might have been some really bad music, but I bet you there was some
music. And something very predictable happens at weddings-people get
all pent up with all kinds of emotions, and then there's some musical
moment where the action of the wedding stops and someone sings or
plays the flute or something. And even if the music is lame, even if
the quality isn't good, predictably 30 or 40 percent of the people
who are going to cry at a wedding cry a couple of moments after the
music starts. Why? The Greeks. Music allows us to move around those
big invisible pieces of ourselves and rearrange our insides so that
we can express what we feel even when we can't talk about it. Can you
imagine watching Indiana Jones or Superman or Star Wars with the
dialogue but no music? What is it about the music swelling up at just
the right moment in ET so that all the softies in the audience start
crying at exactly the same moment? I guarantee you if you showed the
movie with the music stripped out, it wouldn't happen that way. The
Greeks: Music is the understanding of the relationship between
invisible internal objects.



I'll give you one more example, the story of the most important
concert of my life. I must tell you I have played a little less than
a thousand concerts in my life so far. I have played in places that I
thought were important. I like playing in Carnegie Hall; I enjoyed
playing in Paris; it made me very happy to please the critics in St.
Petersburg. I have played for people I thought were important; music
critics of major newspapers, foreign heads of state. The most
important concert of my entire life took place in a nursing home in
Fargo, ND, about 4 years ago.



I was playing with a very dear friend of mine who is a violinist. We
began, as we often do, with Aaron Copland's Sonata, which was written
during World War II and dedicated to a young friend of Copland's, a
young pilot who was shot down during the war. Now we often talk to
our audiences about the pieces we are going to play rather than
providing them with written program notes. But in this case, because
we began the concert with this piece, we decided to talk about the
piece later in the program and to just come out and play the music
without explanation.



Midway through the piece, an elderly man seated in a wheelchair near
the front of the concert hall began to weep. This man, whom I later
met, was clearly a soldier-even in his 70's, it was clear from his
buzz-cut hair, square jaw and general demeanor that he had spent a
good deal of his life in the military. I thought it a little bit odd
that someone would be moved to tears by that particular movement of
that particular piece, but it wasn't the first time I've heard crying
in a concert and we went on with the concert and finished the piece.



When we came out to play the next piece on the program, we decided to
talk about both the first and second pieces, and we described the
circumstances in which the Copland was written and mentioned its
dedication to a downed pilot. The man in the front of the audience
became so disturbed that he had to leave the auditorium. I honestly
figured that we would not see him again, but he did come backstage
afterwards, tears and all, to explain himself.



What he told us was this: "During World War II, I was a pilot, and I
was in an aerial combat situation where one of my team's planes was
hit. I watched my friend bail out, and watched his parachute open,
but the Japanese planes which had engaged us returned and machine
gunned across the parachute chords so as to separate the parachute
from the pilot, and I watched my friend drop away into the ocean,
realizing that he was lost. I have not thought about this for many
years, but during that first piece of music you played, this memory
returned to me so vividly that it was as though I was reliving it. I
didn't understand why this was happening, why now, but then when you
came out to explain that this piece of music was written to
commemorate a lost pilot, it was a little more than I could handle.
How does the music do that? How did it find those feelings and those
memories in me?"



Remember the Greeks: music is the study of invisible relationships
between internal objects. This concert in Fargo was the most
important work I have ever done. For me to play for this old soldier
and help him connect, somehow, with Aaron Copland, and to connect
their memories of their lost friends, to help him remember and mourn
his friend, this is my work. This is why music matters.



What follows is part of the talk I will give to this year's freshman
class when I welcome them a few days from now. The responsibility I
will charge your sons and daughters with is this:



"If we were a medical school, and you were here as a med student
practicing appendectomies, you'd take your work very seriously
because you would imagine that some night at two AM someone is going
to waltz into your emergency room and you're going to have to save
their life. Well, my friends, someday at 8 PM someone is going to
walk into your concert hall and bring you a mind that is confused, a
heart that is overwhelmed, a soul that is weary. Whether they go out
whole again will depend partly on how well you do your craft.



You're not here to become an entertainer, and you don't have to sell
yourself. The truth is you don't have anything to sell; being a
musician isn't about dispensing a product, like selling used Chevies.
I'm not an entertainer; I'm a lot closer to a paramedic, a
firefighter, a rescue worker. You're here to become a sort of
therapist for the human soul, a spiritual version of a chiropractor,
physical therapist, someone who works with our insides to see if they
get things to line up, to see if we can come into harmony with
ourselves and be healthy and happy and well.



Frankly, ladies and gentlemen, I expect you not only to master music;
I expect you to save the planet. If there is a future wave of
wellness on this planet, of harmony, of peace, of an end to war, of
mutual understanding, of equality, of fairness, I don't expect it
will come from a government, a military force or a corporation. I no
longer even expect it to come from the religions of the world, which
together seem to have brought us as much war as they have peace. If
there is a future of peace for humankind, if there is to be an
understanding of how these invisible, internal things should fit
together, I expect it will come from the artists, because that's what
we do. As in the concentration camp and the evening of 9/11, the
artists are the ones who might be able to help us with our internal,
invisible lives."
