Catskill Glee Club

FREE CONCERT

Program and notes from 2008 concert follow:

I

National Anthem ………………………………..........…... F. S. Key

If you are able, please stand to honor our country.

Let All Men Sing ………………………………...….. K. Christopher

We are often asked this question - Why do you do this? This 
song answers that question quite well.

The Old Road ………………………………................... J. P. Scott

This song was sung at the first Glee club concert back in 1927.



Stouthearted Men …………………..…. Hammerstein & Romberg

Our stouthearted man for today is baritone Arnold Jones.


Give Me Your Tired Your Poor ………..….. I. Berlin & E. Lazarus

The words of this song appear on the Statue of Liberty.


Sometimes I feel Like A Motherless Child …………….... Spiritual

This song of despair comes from the rich tradition of American music.


Climb Ev’ry Mountain …………….……. Rodgers & Hammerstein

The Sound of Music had many great songs. This is one of them.



There will be a short pause for the chorus. We will be right back.


II


Wunderbar ……………………………….......................... C. Porter

From another great Broadway show - “Kiss Me Kate”.



Sing A While Longer ……… ………….. E. Markham & G. O’Hara

Our soloist from this song of the 1930s is David Post.



Standing On The Corner …………………………….. …F. Loesser

We sing about ourselves from the show “Most Happy Fella”.



Verdant Meadows ……………………………….…… G. F. Handel

The beauty of the melody in this song tells of the joy of
nature and the glory of nature’s landscape.

Dry Bones ………………………………............................ Spiritual

Assisted by Prof. Hermanic Wilcoxenburger, B.P.



The Song of Songs ………………………..……. C. Lucas & Moya

The soloist for this familiar song is Matthew Valk.

* not singing this concert 

We wish to thank all in our audience who support the Catskill Glee Club. Without you, our audience, we could not continue. We also wish to thank the Conductors’ Club of New York, the Bank of Greene County, Central Hudson, and the National Bank of Coxsackie for their continued support and financial assistance. We are also indebted to the First Baptist Church of Catskill for use of their facilities for our rehearsals. This event is also made possible in part with public funds from the decentralization Program of NYS Council on the arts, administered through the TCCF in Greene County by the GCCA.
