Happy New Year to all of our fellow
AUSS members and friends!
This past Christmas season, The Vi-king
Male Chorus and Damkören com-bined
to perform a Christmas program
for three nursing homes in the James-town,
NY area. Our director, Mary
Schmidt, put together a wonderful eve-ning
of entertainment for our audi-ences.
Our final program was on De-cember
13, 2013, at Emeritus of Lake-wood,
NY. We also performed at Tan-glewood
Manor and the Frewsburg Rest
Home.
In the first picture, the group is about
to begin the Christmas Cantata, Comfort
and Joy, by Lloyd Larson. This cantata
recounts the nativity story through words
and music. Don Nelson was our narrator
and Kathy Durnell and Chuck Painter
were our soloists.
After the cantata, Linda Carlson played
a beautiful flute solo, The Holly and the
Ivy. That was followed by Ole, the Red-
Nosed Viking. For those of you not fa-miliar
with this traditional “classic,” it
tells the story of Ole and his glögg so
strong, that one Christmas Eve, Odin
invited him to join him in a song. The
other Vikings loved him so, they shouted
skål, with glee!
Then, Paul Sandstrom led us in truly
traditional Swedish Christmas songs Nu
är det jul igen, När juldagsmorgon glim-mar,
Hosianna, Var hälsad, sköna mor-gonstund
and Hej, tomtegubbar! Many
of our audience members acknowledged
being of Swedish descent. Mary then
returned to the podium to direct Samlas
nu kring julens träd and Silent Night,
with English and Swedish verses.
Many thanks go to Mary and our ac-companist,
Diane Kling, for all of their
hard work preparing us to present this
year’s program.
After our final program, we gathered at
the home of Jim Gardner and Amy
Stenta for food, fun, fellowship and
glögg. We’ll gather on January 11, 2014
for a more formal evening of holiday
celebration and resume rehearsals on
January 20 to prepare for our annual
Spring Concert.
