This spring, on May 21 and 22, the North Coast Chorale will perform “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” composed by Karl Jenkins. This piece was originally dedicated to the Kosovo Crisis, and although “The Armed Man” sounds like the music should be all about war, it is far from that. Due largely to a grant from the Clatsop County Cultur- al Coalition, the chorale’s performance of “The Armed Man” will be accompanied by a symphonic orchestra, the driving force to producing the brilliance and intensity of this beautiful piece. Meant to stir the emotions and arouse the sensitivity and the sentiments of the audience, this presen- tation of “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” will be ded- icated to victims of terrorism, with thanks to those who work to keep peace. The second half of the spring concert will be the performance of “The Hour Has Come,” a choral sym- phony by Srul Irving Glick set to poems by Carole H. Leckner. This piece contains description of our loving connectedness to all mankind and the earth. “Singing opens our hearts and minds,” says chorale di- rector Denise Reed, “and I am convinced that through the message of music, we can make a difference in the way people look at their lives and the universe.” Reed has been the music director for the North Coast Chorale since 2006; under her direction concerts often have a multi-cultural fo- cus. Reed earned a Master of Science in music educa- tion from Chicago’s DePaul University and an Doctor of Education degree from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ultimately teaching chorus and music theory in Ten- nessee, Florida, Nevada and here on the North Coast. She also composes and arranges music. For more information, con- tact Reed at 503-338-8403 or Cheryl at 503-791-5681.
