We're here!
We've been in Cork for about five hours now . . . all have made it safely and are in fairly good moods, considering our lack of sleep and the time change.
There was, we thought, luggage missing (Sam Pace and Chris Josof) . . . and Martin worked for about two hours to retrieve it . . and then they found it in the rental car.
We made all of our connections easily and most members of the group are wandering around the city. Our first rehearsal comes in a couple of hours.
I met John Fitzpatrick, the man running the Cork festival . . . a very nice guy. He took time to talk with me and walk me through the performing spaces, something I really appreciated. We talked about the extremely high level of the choirs that are present for the international competition. He told me there were 30 international choirs that submitted for the festival . . . I was honored to be among them.
We're excited right now . . . a little weary . . . but excited. Think good thoughts for us.

Very Kind Words
I got this email today and received permission to share it with you. Here's the Christmas recording post he referenced.
Dear Dr Copeland,
Congratulations. You direct one heck of a chorus.
I hope you don't mind that I've downloaded a few of your recordings (even though you probably meant them only for your singers). I first stumbled across them about a year ago, and still have the audio clip of Thompson's "Choose Something Like a Star."
You might have to commit violence against me to make me give it up. It's one of the most insightful performance of the Thompson I've ever heard! That includes four performances that I've sung in with three regional and local symphony choruses over about 20 years, and even the New York Choral Society's commercial recording of the work. Your interpretation has an intensity and conviction that I've *never* heard in any other performance.
The diction is impeccable to boot. Every word is audible.
Minor technical caveat: I only wish the recording didn't cut off so abruptly at the end, before the last note even finishes. I miss that, and the audience's reaction. But that's a minor point.
I'm listening to the Regina Coeli from your recent concert as I type this, and it only boosts my admiration. What a group. What musicianship. Makes me wish I were a student again so I could sing with them.
Carry on, sir. Enjoy each morning's cuppa. And please post information in your blog when your *official* recording is available.
Warm regards,
David Roden

Ireland lips
For the women going to Ireland:
If you have a brownish-red lipstick, bring it on the bus Tuesday. It must be shown to either Erin or Nancy for approval, since we are trying to all wear the same/similar color. If you are returning from last year, bring last year's lipstick with you (Avon, blue tube, called Buttered Rum). Those who have neither will share with a woman who has a lipstick. We will have alcohol to disinfect the lipstick before sharing! If you still have an issue with sharing, I suggest you buy a brownish-red lipstick before Tuesday!

What it takes
I posted this on the ChoralNet blog today . . . you may enjoy it . . . what it takes to sing in choir.
--
One person called this "perhaps the best description of choral music participation that I have ever read."
Take a look at this post and see how one person described what it takes to sing in a choir. A portion of it excerpted here:
It's a great post . . .
--
One person called this "perhaps the best description of choral music participation that I have ever read."
Take a look at this post and see how one person described what it takes to sing in a choir. A portion of it excerpted here:
Choral scores (for those of you not in choirs) are complex, multi-factored codes from which singers are supposed to produce music. ..not just a sequence of notes, because every mark on the score instructs singers on other things . . .
---
Then there's the mundane side of things...singers must have the commitment, the discipline, to show up at rehearsals, work during rehearsals, do what it takes between rehearsals to arrive at the next one ready to go. Just showing up counts a lot--the time wasted by those who have skipped, who have to stop and ask questions because they weren't there, who come in late and have to ask what page we're on, who are chatting and not listening so they miss which bit comes next, who forgot their score or their pencil and need to borrow...that time is lost, missing from rehearsals. Choirs benefit from the dependable, the prompt, the prepared, the alert, those willing to concentrate on the work at hand. Individual singers must be committed to sing when they don't feel great, when their feet hurt, when their noses tickle, when their throats might be a little raw, when they've just been fired, when their significant other just got a job 400 miles away.
It's a great post . . .
The Continental Blog
In case you don't know, there is a group of our students that are staying over in Europe after the Ireland tour is over. Martin has named them "the continental's" and Ashley has started a blog to keep up with their travels.
I'm proud of the group and left them this comment:
I'm proud of the group and left them this comment:
Welcome to the blogging world, So. Continental's. I'm actually quite proud of the experience you've embarked upon with the post-choir trip. It's a great time to do it in your lives and it will give you a number of stories to share for the rest of your life. Most of all, however, the experience will likely change you in some subtle (and some profound) ways.Be brave, Continental's! Have fun . . . show appropriate caution . . . take care of each other . . . live life . . . remember you represent us as well as yourselves.

Country Dances
Tonight was special . . . .
What a night . . . what a semester . . . what a year.
I was so proud of all my groups tonight . . . it was an honor to stand in front of you and make the music we made tonight.
Chamber Singers arrived at a new place on their music:
1. Haec dies was very good . . .
2. Michelle was better than it has ever been before. Tenors blend was superb . . . you made adjustments in the last two days that changed everything for the better. Congratulations, men.
3. Country Dances was superb. The right tempo, the right dynamic, the right spirit, the right transitions. Way to go.
Women's chorale did exceptionally well. Of all the groups I direct, you made the most improvement from where you began and where you ended. We started with small sounds and unsure singers . . . we ended with bigger sounds and confidence. Way to go . . . I was very proud. Erin did a superb job in her conducting and quiet leadership. A great night.
Concert Choir was especially thrilling. This was a seven-year high point . . . the best we've ever done in a spring concert, I think. It brought back to my mind two other concerts: the new york carnegie hall concert and the first night in Tours competition. Here's what I wrote about the night in France . . . tonight was very similar, except better. We sustained emotion, precision, and energy through seven very difficult musical works.
Leigh thought that the Regina Coeli was the best piece . . . Dr. Jordan said that we sang each work with "complete authority." Both of those comments mean quite a bit to me . . .
My friend Greg Park was impressed with the way the choir took the stage . . . they smiled at the audience and tried to make a connection. Way to go.
Nick Cummins said this in an email to me: I have to say tonight was spectacular...best piece overall: tie between "Nunc Dimittis" and "Regina Coeli" both were just awesome.
Dr. Mostellar told me he was "blown away" and that he'd never heard anything like that in twenty years here at UAB. (i think i'm quoting him correctly) A very kind comment and one that I appreciate very much from him. Dr. Irving was the first one to congratulate me after the concert. I really appreciate the support of those two men.
So . . . as I've now passed 1 AM . . . I think two thoughts:
1. I am glad I said what I did about Dr. Jordan to that crowd tonight. It felt good to talk about his influence on me for so many years to a group that knew him and saw his talent firsthand. It felt right to talk about "the curse" of being in his choir and that I've been working out the musical truths he taught me ever since.
2. I'm extremely proud of my students tonight . . . you rose to the occasion and performed with passion, pride, and power. You sang musically and moved appropriately at the slightest gesture I made. You drew the audience to you . . . they sensed your energy and your commitment to excellence.
It was a special night and one that I will never forget. Congratulations, everyone.
And . . . thanks.

Michael Evans makes contact:
Dr. Copeland,
I just listened to the youtube recording of Dale Grotenhuis’ “Song of Triumph,” and I wanted to write you and say your choir sounds wonderful. Watching the choir made me realize what a special time in my life it was to be in the choir, and I miss it terribly. Tell your students to treasure the time they spend there, for it will be gone before they know it. You are doing a great job; I hope to stop in and listen some time.

Recording sessions and Ireland
I've not scheduled the church or the recording engineer, but I'm headed towards these two dates:
Thursday, April 10, 7-9 pm
Sunday, April 13, 7-9 pm
Please check them out on your schedule and I'll get feedback from you in class tomorrow.
I'll know something from James and the church tomorrow afternoon.
As far as priority, I think I've got to make the recording sessions the most important aspect of what we are doing right now . . . that has the longest term impact of anything that we do. I'm somewhat concerned about how different it will be for the Ireland folks, but we have several days after the Spring concert to solidify music there.
Last week was a great week of rehearsal . . . Tuesday and Thursday were quite superb. I'm pleased with how the music is shaping up for the concert.
Keep it up!

Copeland Triplets do Brio
What I did tonight. This is night #2 of keeping the girls by myself. Leigh is away for the weekend.

The good news keeps a-coming . . . . .
More evidence for what I already believe to be true:Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.
The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.That's exactly what I need . . . a barrier for my high fat diet.
A vital barrier between the brain and the main blood supply of rabbits fed a fat-rich diet was protected in those given a caffeine supplement.
UK experts said it was the "best evidence yet" of coffee's benefits.
Martin Creates Incredible Spreadsheet
Taking over a task too large for my little mind, Martin has created an excel spreadsheet that reveals the best times for the Ireland choir to have an extra rehearsal or two.
I've loaded up to my Google Documents and made it available for online viewing here.
Nine people still need to contribute:
Lori Ayler
Ron Baxter
Matthew Cantor
Jeremy Concepcion
Alex Fencanin
Jenny Harmon
Harry Miree
Matthew Russell
Crystal Whatley
Martin has indicated that these are our best times for rehearsal:
THURSDAY, APRIL 10, from 1930 until 2200
SUNDAY, APRIL 13, from 1930 until 2200
MONDAY, APRIL 14, from 2000 until 2200
THURSDAY, APRIL 17, from 1900 until 2200 (we won't use this one)
Thanks for the work, Martin. You are a special guy.
