Sun., Jan. 13, the Gregory
■Forum was alive with the
J sound of CCC’s Chamber
hoir, conducted by Lonnie Cline,
ind The Pacific Singers from Stock-
on, Calif., with Conductor Edward
The Chamber Choir started with a
ribute to the events of Sept. 11,
jortraying hope and sincerity
hrough their hypnotic melodies. For
he highly attentive audience, they
jegan by performing René
Clausen’s “Set Me as a Seal,” then
>ently transitioned to “Ubi Coritas"
>r "Let Us Love One Another From
B Sincere Heart,” composed by
Blaurice Duruafle. The choir sud-
formance was more than expected.
Cline has been teaching at
Clackamas for 21 years and said that
this is one of the best groups he has
worked with. He said it is due to
“the desire they have to express
themselves at a very high level...
they have such a mature attitude
about the way they approach music
and the way they approach rehears
ing music.” He added, “We make it
our goal to be able to see into the
heart of the composer, with an effort
to go to that enlightened state of
mind.”
The conclusion of the choir’s per
formance included a song entitled
“Broken Dove” written by Linda
■he choir. She added that the per
Livelc, a McMinnville composer.
“Broken Dove” was written to rep
resent the loss and tragedy of Sept.
11.
The Pacific Singers performed
songs in an array of languages, in
cluding German, Latin and Spanish,
from a variety of different religious
backgrounds. From “The Making
of the Drum” By Bob Chilcott, they
performed “The Skin,” in which they

McFerren’s background is as a commercial photogra-
pher, working for trade publications in the equine industry,
His acrylic paintings have been described as reminiscent
of the early abstract expressionists such as Jackson Pol-
lock. His work places emphasis on color, medium and
form but also draws from his experience with photogra-
phy.
The Pauling Gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fri
day. For more information, call 503-657-6958, ext. 2386.

amazing solo by Brie Reimer, mezzo-

A highlight of The Pacific Sing
ers’ performance was “Hymn to
Cecilia,” with the text of W.H.
Auden, an English poet, and com
posed by Benjamin Britten.
“The men’s singing evokes the
image of a cry from the depths of
humanity’s heart, and the women
depict the heavenly echo of that
prayer...” wrote Gabrielle Dietrich,
who sang the chilling solo in this
rendition, in the program notes.
Ms. Dietrich is a resident of Port
land, along with three other mem
bers of The Pacific Singers. This
season marks their 58th tour; there
is no group such as this west of the
Rockies with such longevity and tra
dition. They regard music as both
an art and a discipline.
