Masterworks Chorale of Carroll County, an 80-member, all-volunteer choir is busily preparing the finishing touches on a very special Spring Concert.  For the first time since 2008 when Ode to Joy, the choral finale to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was performed, Masterworks is again collaborating with the Columbia Orchestra in presenting Franz Josef Haydn's oratorio, The Creation.
Under the baton of Masterworks Chorale's Artistic Director, Dr. Margaret Boudreaux and accompanied by organist,Ted Dix, Masterworks will also perform Dr. Boudreaux's own composition, Consolation, along with American composer, Frank Ticheli's Earth Song, two selections from Handel's Messiah, plus Thanks be to God from Mendelssohn's Elijah.
Isaac Watt's paraphrase of Psalm 19:2 provides the text for Consolation, and espresses awe and gratitude for each new day.  In Earth Song, Ticheli beautifully expresses our desire to experience the creation as we meet each day anew, in ways that honor the light of peace instead of the darkness of war.  The two excerpts from Messiah (the first and final choruses from Part I of that work) and the final chorus from Part I of Elijah set the stage for the featured work, The Creation...  http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/contributed/news/masterworks-chorale-collaborates-with-the-columbia-orchestra/article_a56dd1d0-7994-11e0-965a-0017a4aa4fba.html ...
The performance will be on Sunday, May 15, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in Baker Memorial Chapel ("Big" Baker), McDaniel College, Westminster.  A reception will immediately follow the concert.


Tickets are $12 at the door; $10 in advance and are available at the Carroll Arts Center, 91 W. Main Street, Westminster; from any Chorale member; or online at www.masterworksofcc.org.  As always, children and all students w/ID are admitted FREE.
