| Tis the season to be harried By Mary Ann K, Anderson AS A delighted newcomer to both Terrace and the North West Singers, I wish to say a few words about Advent, Christmas, and the choir’s upcoming con cert. . With the frosty daylime air, and recent blowing snow, it really feels like winter is just around the comer. And with winter comes Christmas. A few pcople I have chatted with lately have asked me not to mention ‘it,’ ‘it’ being Christmas or more than likely, the dreaded preparations which precede the holiday, I suppose for some the upcoming time of year is not only a season to be merry, but also a sea- son to be harried! ‘When does the season really begin? These days in my busy life it is often the decorations in the stores and the accompanying dingle-dingle music which . they pipe over their loudspeakers which first gets me thinking about Christmas. And it seems that this hap- pens sooner every year! This was certainly not always the case for me, Ad- vent marks the imminent coming of Christmas. It used to be a period of reflection and penitence, much: like Lent isin preparation for Easter. In.my youth we- used to light one candle on a wreath made of fir and pine on each of the four Sun- days approaching Christmas Eve. I remember snug- gling close to my mother each evening to sing old Dutch Christmas Carols, and being mesmerized by the flickering candlelight on the mantel piece. In countries where Advent is not formally celebrated, the coming of Christmas music can be said to have a similar effect as the Advent process of preparation. It can bring the reverence, the peace or excitement of the coming of a special celebration, the re-telling of the Christmas story from so many dif- ferent perspectives. This year, the North West Singers, under the im- pressive direction of Marilyn Brodie, have been working hard to put together an Advent concert in Terrace for your enjoyment, The main work to be featured js the Magnificat in G by Johann Pachelbel, who lived from 1653 to 1706. This particular work was only discovered in the 1980’s in the archives of an East German state li- brary. Imagine finding a piece of music which has lain dormant, dusty and unsung for 250 years! It makes it all the more exciting to perform, There will be many other pieces celebrating Christ- mas music as the lullaby, for those who need a little soothing! With the help of a few additional generous musicians, namely Becky Bloski, Anne Silsbe, and Edwin Kwong on voice, Rachel Reay and Robin Hol- lett on flute, Mike Wen on French horn, and Ellen Boston on harpsichord, the program is an impressive display of community talent, The Master of Ceremonies will be Deanis Tupman. Von xob. _ Come and counter the forces which makes" this a Harried Season, and let the music sing!
