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.

ets and more information, or
