Write to: EDITOR@THESIUSLAWNEWS.COM On Dec. 13, the Community Chorus of Florence Oregon will present Appalachian Winter, a cantata that cele- brates the legacy of early American carols. This concert will take place at 2 p.m. at the Florence Event Center Composed by Joseph Martin in the spirit of folk music, the cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic ele- ments. Popular American carols like “Away in a Manger” and “O’ Little Town of Bethlehem” blend with traditional spirituals such as “Children, Go Where I Send Thee” and “Go, Tell It on the Mountain.” Sacred Harp tunes are retooled and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies. Thoughtful narration weaves the movements together in a meaningful tapestry of song and Scripture. Between sections of the Appalachian Winter cantata, the choir and special guests will entertain the audience with familiar Christmas songs. Coming from Westminster Presbyterian Church in Eugene, the Intrada Bell Choir directed by Donna Snyder will present two selections. This six-person choir will play “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “I Saw Three Ships.” Florence’s own jazz combo, the Flotones, will perform sev- eral tunes including crowd favorite, “Snowfall.” Elise Arnold will direct the Siuslaw Children’s Choir com- posed of 26 local third- to sixth-grade children. They will perform several folk and Christmas songs. There will also be a group of six instrumentalists providing accompaniment for the Appalachian Winter concert. The band will include Nancy Ash (violin), Chris Campbell (cello), Linda Yoder (man- dolin), Greg Wood (guitar), Barbara Bublari (flute) and Johanna Bonisteel (piano). The Community Chorus will also include several well- known carols and folk selec- tions, including “The Holly and the Ivy,” “I Wonder As I Wander,” “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” and others. Co-directors for the concert will be Dr. Paul Guthmuller and Elise Arnold. Crystal Farnsworth will be narrator and Johanna Bonisteel will provide piano accompani- ment. Tickets are $10 for adults; children can attend foir free. Call 541-997-1994 for tick- ets and more information, or visit www.communitychorus- florenceor .org.
