Two Wartburg ensembles
performing at regional
choral directors conference
Waverly, Iowa — Two Wartburg
College ensembles will perform at
the regional conference of college
choral directors in Madison. Wis.,
Feb. 10-12
The North Central Division of
the American Choral Directors
Association Conference Concerts
will feature the Wartburg Choir and
the Castle Singers jazz ensemble
The choir, under the direction of
Dr. Lee Nelson, will be among three
college choirs, a youth choir and a
youth orchestra, performing “To Be
Certain of the Dawn: A Holocaust
Memorial Oratorio,” in the spotlight
concert Friday in the 2,251-seat
Overture Center for the Arts.
The Castle Singers jazz ensemble,
under the direction of Dr. Jane
Andrews, will be among 12 groups
performing in individual concerts,
but the only jazz group.
The NC ACDA includes choral
programs in Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska and the Dakotas. The
ACDA holds its national conference
in odd-numbered years and has its
seven regional gatherings in evennumbered
years.
“The theme of the conference is
‘Beyond the Notes,’” said Nelson,
director of Wartburg choral activities.
“It’s all about the learning process
rather than just the performance
of great music. It’s what’s music
education is really all about. The
whole conference deals with that at
all different levels.”
The Castle Singers were selected
on the basis of an audition CD with
three styles of music — an a cappella
ballad, a swing number, and a Latin
piece — representing its last three
annual tours.
“It’s peer selection,” Andrews
said. “Other chorale directors listen
to the auditions and select who
should come.”
The Castle Singers will perform
six pieces — “a variety to show what
jazz music is all about,” Andrews
said.
“We’ll do a swing piece, an
improvisation, an a cappella ballad,
two movements from the Jazz
Mass that we commissioned for
our European tour and Christmas
with Wartburg — one is a samba,
the ‘Gloria,’ and the other is blues,
‘Agnus Dei.’ When you think of
jazz, you don’t usually think of
sacred music.”
The 33-member ensemble will
close with its signature piece,

1,000 DISPLAYS!
“Birdland.”
Meanwhile, Nelson will direct
more than 360 singers and
instrumentalists from four states —
including his 87-member choir — in
an hour-long multimedia production
about the Holocaust. Dr. Brian
Pfaltzgraff, assistant professor of
music at Wartburg, will be a soloist.
The college ensembles —
including those from Minnesota
State University at Mankato and
Nebraska Wesleyan University —
will be joined by the Madison Youth
Choirs (boys and girls) and the
Wisconsin Youth Symphony.
Father Michael O’Connell
of the Basilica of St. Mary’s in
Minneapolis commissioned the work
by composer Stephen Paulus and
librettist Michael Dennis Browne to
commemorate the 60th anniversary
of the end of the Holocaust in 2005.
The production uses photographs by
Russian-American Roman Vishniac
to complement the music.
Nelson previously conducted the
oratorio in 2008 as director of the
St. Cloud (Minn.) State University
choir, which performed at the
Natzweiler-Struthof concentration
camp in present-day France, near the
German border.
He called it a “transformational
experience.”
“It makes the tragic history of
the Holocaust very real for the
performers and the audience alike,”
Nelson said. “It tells the stories of
those lost in the Shoah through the
faces of the children in the Vishniac
photographs. We look at the world
through their eyes, we dialogue with
them throughout the work, then we
turn the lens and look at ourselves.
It’s a nontraditional Holocaust work
in that it is not an ‘in-your-face
piece’ — not overly sentimental, not
gory, but a true reflection on what
happened and is really sincere.”
The choir will take on different
roles, Nelson added, as a Nazi
soldier, a Jewish prisoner, the
Christian alliance helping the Jews
and “Christian guilt.” The children,
who eventually become the “voice
of God,” are involved at the behest
of Father O’Connell.
“He said, ‘Art transcends and
transforms,’” Nelson remarked,
“and his dream has been that young
people perform and study this work.
We are honored to keep that dream
going.”

South Central
Calhoun FFA
held meeting
Last Thursday the SCC FFA held
dinner and a meeting at the high
school. We grilled hot dogs and
hamburgers. There was a great
turnout of 75 members. We discussed
sub-district speaking contests that
will happen on Thursday February
23 here in Lake City and districts
that are in Rock Valley on March 3.
Another activity going on this
is National FFA Week. During the
week there will be a sweetheart court
of 5 junior girls and 5 junior boys.
The court will participate in a contest
each day throughout the week and
be scored on their performance. The
highest scoring boy and girl will be
chosen as the 2012 sweetheart king
and queen at the dance on Friday the
24th. This month’s meeting was a
huge success!

Titan girls
end season
The South Central Calhoun girls’
basketball team lost to a powerful
Carroll Kuemper team, ending
tournament play for the year but
Head Coach Dave Birks appreciates
the effort of the team during the 21 –
44 loss at Carroll on Feb. 11.
“I was extremely pleased with our
effort, especially on the defensive
end,” Birks said, “ The girls played
with a lot of intensity. Unfortunately,
we had trouble scoring against their
sized and athleticism. The last game
of the season is always rough.”
Kori Assman and Haley Birks
shared top scoring honors for
the Titans with 8 each. Ashley
Henkenius earned 3 points and
Ashley Toms earned 2.
