12/20/2019 – Wishing you the loveliest of holidays !

My dear choristers,

This afternoon I rehearsed at the church for solos which I’m doing Christmas Eve: Ave Maria, Gesu Bambino, The Virgins Slumber Song and O Holy Night. As I was walking home, I had time to reflect upon my many blessings and prominent in my musing was all of you and the Deer Creek Chorale organization. Making music with such a fine, dedicated group of individuals is a true privilege.

I look so forward to resuming our rehearsals and exploring new repertoire. Registration is now open and I hope that we will have some new singers join us in 2020. Every collection of voices makes for a new and exciting vibe.

Aren’t the DVD’s amazing!!!!We are so thankful for the talents on the other side of the cameras, especially Mark Van Nostrand. Please thank him profusely if you get a chance. Maybe drop him a note. He has donated his time and expertise to benefit our scholarship program. And thanks to Don for posting some selections on YouTube. Do subscribe to our channel.

I have two Christmas wishes. 1,000 has been an elusive number to reach on Facebook. Presently we have 967. Can’t we do it!!! It makes such a statement. My second wish is that DCC would be your recipient on Amazon Smile. It is so easy to help out every time you order. And the bigger the web, the more the organization benefits. Certainly do appreciate your help.

Attached are some pics and in a separate email, the Spring semester syllabus. Do print out a copy and start thinking “the beauties of nature”.

Here’s to a lovely Christmas week and look forward to hugs in the New Year!!

Gratefully,
Marty
