Robert Shaw
Remembered
Music from the
Shaw-Parker Years with special guest Alice Parker
Friday, May 5, 2006,
8:00 p.m.
- Roswell UMC
 Anyone who loves choral music knows that the greatest
conductor and interpreter of choral music in the 20th Century was Robert
Shaw. He is recognized primarily in Atlanta for his more than thirty
year association with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and his
legacy also includes a remarkable body of work completed earlier in his
career. In collaboration with his associate, Alice Parker, Shaw created a
collection of choral arrangements for his famed Robert Shaw Chorale nearly
a half century ago that are still widely performed today. Consisting
primarily of folk songs, folk hymns, and spirituals, these choral gems are
among the finest in the American choral tradition. In this tribute
concert to
Robert Shaw's life and legacy, we are honored to have Alice Parker as our
guest conductor and speaker. Miss Parker will offer reminisces of her work
with Mr. Shaw, and will share her own remarkable talent as she leads The
Michael O'Neal Singers in this concert of American classics.
A Special
Invitation:
 Alice Parker
Workshop
Saturday, May
6, 2006, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. - Roswell UMC
Spend a day with the
dean of American choral composers and arrangers--Alice Parker. Alice will
share from her vast experience in the world of choral music, specifically
in the area of improvisation, helping all workshop
participants learn how to respond more naturally and musically to the
tunes we hear. Based on her book, Folksong Transformations, this
workshop with this most remarkable lady will forever change the way you
listen, and respond, to music.
This performance and workshop are funded in part by a grant from the
