June - 2016 - Heart of Florida Chorus
THE HEARTBEAT Volume 13 – Issue 6 June 2016 We meet at North Lake Presbyterian Church in The Villages every Thursday evening. Doors open at 6:00. We are located behind Home Depot on Rolling Acres Road. You’ll find access off Griffin Road, also. Without music, life is a journey through a desert. - Pat Conroy YBQC Order Of Appearance Announced SINGING WITH RESONANCE By Keith Mullen, Music VP Definition of resonance - (Merriam-Webster) 1. The quality of a sound that stays loud, clear and deep for a long time. 2. The intensification and enriching of a musical tone by supplementary vibration. 3. A quality imparted to voiced sounds by vibration of anatomical resonating chambers or cavities of the mouth and/or cavity. (Excerpts from an online article, "Singing With Resonance.") While singing, let's temporarily move the focus away from improving the singing voice, to focusing on the experience of producing the sound. Explore the sensations and emotions created in the body while singing. Singing can be a very powerful process. Every time we sing we cause our whole body to vibrate, causing changes that are not only physical but emotional as well. Singing with resonance offers the person the chance to explore these changes and how they can be implemented in their own performance. Every time we produce sound, be it singing or speaking, our bodies resonate or vibrate. The quality of sound we create will depend on how we control and support the process. The body has different areas of resonance or resonators. These must be located by each person so they know where they are and how to use and control them. By using your resonators you can: 1.) Extend your range. 2.) Protect your voice. 3.) Improve your quality of sound. 4.) Increase your projection. (Volume) By working with your body you will successfully use your resonators to also help improve your intonation. (pitch). You will do this by not only hearing the sound but feeling it as well. By becoming more sensitive and training the body to recognize the vibrations caused as a result of your singing, you may be able to sing the intervals between notes more (Continued on page 6) 1) Last Chance (NED) 2) The B-Flads (BHNZ) 3) The Grand Angus (BHA) 4) Polaris (SWD) 5) Cutting Edge (CAR) 6) Ecclectones (FWD) 7) B.E.A.R.D.S.

Directors in attendance were: Fran Donohoe, Fran Tougas, Jim Busko, Dick Baird, Reed Johnson, Keith Mullen and Roy Field. Also in attendance: Scott Werner. Secretary’s Report: The minutes of the February 17, 2016 meeting were approved on motion. Our official membership as of today is 69. The change from the previous count of 68 is due to the addition of our new dual member A J Theiler. No new member applications have been submitted. Treasurer’s Report (attached): The report dated March 15, 2016 was received on motion. Marketing and PR: Dick Baird is continuing to investigate the creation of a chorus flyer. He will discuss options with the graphic artist who worked on last September’s Super Show program. Chapter Development: We have had one new rehearsal visitor in the past month. Music Director: The chorus will not enter the Sunshine District Spring Competition. Instead, we will focus on performing at a higher level at the December 4, 2016 Christmas Show. Each member is encouraged to invite men of good singing ability to audition. Unfinished Business: The date for the Christmas show with the Tampa Bay Heralds of Harmony is confirmed as Sunday, December 4, 2016 at New Covenant United Methodist Church in The Villages. A quartet assignment policy is now in place for performance requests received by the chapter. An initial order of precedence was set up by random draw. John Fleming has volunteered to act as coordinator for this effort. A quartet must have at least two currently paidup chapter members to be eligible for consideration. New business: A “New Look” committee will be formed to investigate semi-formal outfits for future chorus performances. They will determine two options to be presented to the membership for a vote. They will also present financial support options for consideration by the board. Chorus members will be asked to provide jacket, shirt, and pants sizes at upcoming rehearsals. Scott Werner agreed to represent the chapter at the Sunshine District House of Delegates meeting on April 29, 2016 at the Spring Convention in Orlando. Tid Bits Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? Experience is what teaches you to recognize a mistake when you've made it again.

I am also in need of jewelry (broken, discolored, etc.) and material for Operation Shoebox. Call me 352-750-6755 if you think you can help. Enjoy this wonderful place we live, and keep learning to keep your mind fresh and active. Use the skills you already have to learn a new skill. Stay happy and keep singing. It will help you stay young and well. Smile and let your face be happy! HeartThrobs By Roz Fischer Hi, Everyone, I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather we have been having this spring. Although it is June, and we expect warmer weather; it has not been too hot so far. I remember (as you probably do, too) when I was a small child, and we had no air conditioning--just a fan here and there. I know I could not exist today without air conditioning. The occasional rain and the beautiful flowers make living in Florida wonderful. We need to count our blessings and appreciate the great weather we have, especially when we see tornadoes in Kansas and Oklahoma, forest fires in California, etc. A few years ago, a few HeartThrobs suggested that we have a monthly luncheon to enjoy our time together. Several of us have been planning and attending these luncheons, as the numbers of attendees dwindled down to only a few each month. Last month Dee Burns offered to have a "brunch-type" get-together at her own home. The results were less than ideal. Only two people besides Dee were there to enjoy the occasion. It was a very disheartening turn out, resulting in canceling any future HeartThrob luncheons for the time being. It appears that we don't have enough interest in this activity to continue monthly luncheons at this time. I also suggested that another HeartThrob take over the writing of this column so other ideas and suggestions could be implemented. No one seemed to apply the past month, so let me list all the benefits of this job. Perhaps you then might find an interest in writing it. 1. The pay is exceptional. I bet you could not find anyone else getting this amount. 2. You would not have to list this new income on your taxes. Wow! That should appeal to someone. 3. You would work for the kindest gentleman in the chorus. (Elbie Ford). He never complains about my work or makes me work overtime. 4. You could work at home, at your own convenience. How many jobs do you know that have this benefit? 5. The job consists of less than 40 hours per week, or less than six hours per day. 6. And lastly, you can have your children either come to work with you, or be at home with you. Don't all rush forward. Come on, now. Let's have someone step up and volunteer for this fabulous position. No training will be necessary, and you could start immediately. I will even put in a word for you for doubletime and 1/4 for past experience. Interested in learning to paint? Attend my art class on Wednesdays at 9:00-11:20 at El Santiago Recreation Dolor Sit Amet June |2016 Issue Date Meet The HeartThrob – LaVonne Williams This beautiful lady was born on June 23 in Moorhead, Minnesota. She and her gentleman, Willie, have been married more than 50 years. They are the parents of two children and four grandchildren. When she wrote this information for me, they had no great-grandchildren. That was more than a few years ago. LaVonne has lived in Minnesota and Florida; and she prefers Florida. Her work experience was as a secretary. Travel has always been appealing to her. Her hobbies include playing bridge, pickleball, Mahjong, as well as dancing. LaVonne volunteers at her church. But, in her spare time she loves to shop, play bridge, and just relax. Her bucket list includes much more traveling. If she won the lottery, she claims she would help others. She and Willie met at her high school dance. It's a good thing he knew how to dance! Be sure you take the time to get to know LaVonne. She is lots of fun and is a very interesting and caring lady. What a great addition to the HeartThrobs she is. You Will Be Fined! From the Internet, author unhnown On the first day at the new seniors' complex, the manager addressed all the new seniors pointing out some of the rules: "The female sleeping quarters will be out-of-bounds for all males, and the male dormitory to the females. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time." He continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?" At this point, an older gentleman stood up in the crowd inquired: "How much for a season's pass?” Page 3 3 Volume 13 – Issue 6 T h e H e a r t b e a t Where Do I Fit Into My Chapter? By Tom Vizzi, Buffalo Billboard Editor, Buffalo, NY What can we do to improve our chorus? Am I a Competitor, Leader, Hobbyist, Affiliator or a Tag-along? "Where do I fit in Improve chapter membership. Improve chapter quality, attract singers, not just numbers. This is not one of those panic, browbeating articles but it is an article of enlightenment. Last fall at the SLD COTS school, I heard a talk on the membership structure of our chapters. This talk brought out the fact that each chapter has members that fall into five categories; • The Competitor- He’s the guy that wants to win! He is willing to sacrifice hard work to accomplish his goal. • The Leader- This guy is willing to be an officer, a committee chairman, section leader, and do anything he can to help out the chapter. He’s not too sure where he stands when it comes to competition. • The Hobbyist- This guy loves to sing it’s his hobby! He’s been told that he has a nice singing voice and he probably does! He’s not interested in competition, he just wants to sing! • The Affiliator- This guy just wants to belong. He comes to the weekly rehearsals, sings, and has a great time. He hardly ever volunteers to help the chapter in anyway but, just wants to belong. • The Tag-a-long This guy goes a long with anything the leader says, does whatever the Hobbyist wants to do and just tags, along with the chapter flow. What is your chapter attitude and where do you fit in! Take a long look at your chapter, see if you can recognize any of the above member types. Now ask yourself, "where do I fit in!" Is their room for improvement? A chapter full of competitors is a chapter that wants to go to a national convention. And why not! In our lifetime, how many opportunities do we get to do something that really makes a difference. Think how exciting it would be to travel to a national convention and compete on stag with the best in the world. Wow! Win or loose, it’s the experience that counts. The non-competitors in our chapters need to analyze ourselves and ask the question; Why do I belong to my chorus? Our common denominators are that we all love to sing, and entertain or we would not be here in the first place. June 2016 Would our audiences rather hear the blah "Blahville Harmonizers" from Blahville, USA or the exciting Vocal Majority Chorus? The youth of the world are our future! Our youth today, want to win! They are growing up with competition. A chorus can not attract a youthful singer if they have the "Blahville attitude." Our choruses must meet the new millennium with a year 2000 attitude. Yes you can teach an old dog new tricks. If we want to attract youth of the 21st century, we must become a chorus, a district and a Barbershop Society of the 21st century. Let’s all sing with excitement, enthusiasm, focus, and then we will all have more fun. I for one have changed my mind about my attitude. I have decided to move up to the competitor level. It seems to me, that if viewing a rainbow is exciting, imagine what it must be to find the gold. Training For A Job Seen on the Internet, author unknown An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter: "Want coffee." The waiter says, "Sure Chief, coming right up." He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee. The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out. The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter: "Want coffee." The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?" The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Training for position in United States Congress. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, Disappear for rest of day." NOVEMBER 2016---VOTE WISELY! Item: "Barbershop harmony really begins at the end and works backwards. If a quartet is well equipped with 'wicked' endings, the body of the song may be fairly conventional. It is the close that leaves the final fragrance of the barbershop, and if this is beautifully flavored with a nostalgic aroma, it matters little what has gone before. The most obvious harmonies are forgotten in a really subtle finish." (Source: "Barbershop Ballads and How to Sing Them," Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, 1925) There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another. Frank Zappa Page 4 13 – Issue 6 Volume Lorem Ipsum T h e H e a r t b e a t So Who Was Sweet Adeline, Anyway? From Preservation, January 2011, Grady Kerr, editor Her name was Adelina Patti (1843 – 1919). She was a famous Italian coloratura soprano opera singer. She was raised in New York City and her talent was evident from a young age. She gave her first recital at around eight and made her operatic debut at New York's Academy of Music in 1859. Patti sang at the White House in 1862 and so moved Lincoln and his wife with her rendition of “Home, Sweet Home” that she was ever after to use the number as an encore piece in her recitals. Essentially the definition of “prima donna,” Patti demanded, and received, high fees (she even trained a parrot to squawk “Cash! Cash!”) and insisted upon excusal from rehearsals. She lived her final years at her castle in south Wales, singing rarely, and only from a repertoire that she knew her aging voice could handle. She made approximately 30 recordings for the Gramophone and Typewriter Company in 1905 and 1906, preserving much of her familiar music; though her voice was well past its prime, and despite a high price ($5), the discs were best- sellers and have been in print ever since, valued as documentation of a bygone style. She was last heard in America in 1904 at Carnegie Hall. Patti died of natural causes and is buried in Paris. “Sweet Adeline” has been performed many times by a wide variety of performers. Quaker City Four (1904), introduced on the Vaudeville stage The Peerless Quartet (1904) recording was on the charts for ten weeks at #1 for three weeks. The Haydn Quartet (1904) recording was on the charts for 17 weeks at #1 for ten weeks. Mickey Mouse serenaded Minnie Mouse in the short, The Karnival Kid (1929). The Marx Brothers sang a version of the song in the film Monkey Business (1931). The Seekers (1960), an Australian folk influenced pop group of the ‘60s, recorded it. Phish (current), a popular jam band, has performed it during their live shows. The Mills Brothers recorded it in 1953 on Famous Barber Shop Ballads. Rich-tones, a Sweet Adelines International Champion chorus, recorded it in 1995 as part of a special CD in celebration of SAI’s 50th anniversary. It has been recorded by many barbershop quartets, the most popular being The Boston Common, The Suntones, Bluegrass Student Union, The Ritz, Dapper Dans and FRED. “Sweet Adeline” was also used as the title of a musical comedy written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, which was made into a movie in 1929. This film was not a success. John F. Fitzgerald, grandfather of John F. Kennedy, used it as his theme song for his two successful campaigns for Mayor of Boston. Proof of its popularity: It’s no accident that the largest woman’s barbershop organization, Sweet Adelines International, is named for this song. Dolor Sit Amet Page 5 June 2016 Issue | Date A Barbershop Quartet Job Description (The Lead) By Ron Knickerbocker as seen in In Tune, Linda Williams, Editor Leads have the easiest job in that they are the only ones who actually sing the song, but they have the greatest responsibility because the rest of us are completely dependent on them. We can’t even start a song without them (with the exception of the songs that start with the basses singing “boom, boom, boom”)! 1. Sing firmly and accurately. A. A high percentage of inaccurate singing is a result of a lack of concentration. (As in, “I’ve sung this song since nineteen-ought-two.”) B. Remember–the harmony parts harmonize with the note they think you will sing, so your job is to be there, not just “in the vicinity.” C. Don’t listen to the sounds the group is making. Obviously you will hear it, but you should hear it “in passing”- like driving through some fantastic scenery in heavy traffic. You will be aware of the scenery but you can’t forget where your main responsibility lies. • Your primary responsibility is to sing the song in such a way that the harmony part singers can do their job without worrying about yours. 2. Sing vowels the same way every time. A. Harmony part singers can’t match the lead until he sings stable, consistent vowel sounds. This is important not just for competition, but for general performances as well. B. It is easy to match sounds in your section, but it takes time and effort. 3. You listen (as you sing) with “goose bumps” in your ears, but general audiences don’t. 4. Be aware of the few spots, if any, in a song where you aren’t singing the melody. A. Exaggerate giving up and taking over the melody. This helps avoid confusion on the part of the listeners. This most often occurs on tags, but occasionally it happens within the body of the song. 5. Be aware of spots where harmony part singers might need your help. A. In your upper register (don’t bury them). B. At the extremes of the ranges of the harmony part singers. Rules We Should Know As Musicians There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a darn what goes on in between. - Sir Thomas Beecham. 5 13 – Issue 6 Volume Lorem Ipsum T h e H e a r t b e a t Central Florida Picnic Saturday, May 28, 2016 By Larry Robinson I shudder to think that I nearly missed out on this year’s delightful distraction from the daily grind. I planned to stay home because my wife, Barbara, had a conflicting class. But, Dale and Eileen Johnson said they would be happy to provide transportation, so I changed my mind and decided to attend. And what a great picnic it was! I wish I could list all of our members and their wives who worked behind the scenes, but I don’t pay attention very well, and my memory fails me. But, due to their hard work, I got to spend a care free day; eating, chatting, and singing with my barbershop friends. The picnic committee and their crew did their jobs so smoothly and seamlessly, that I could not ask for more. Congratulations and thank you. It was heartwarming to see a few faces that we had not seen in a while. The two that I actually recall were members of the Sun Chords quartet:: bass, Dick Gordon (just a slender shadow of his former self . . . well, he has lost some weight), and tenor, Lee Shawcross. They, along with lead, John Fleming, and baritone, Joe Burns, were the primary afterdinner entertainment. Dick told a few stories, as usual, then the quartet did a very short show package which I had not seen before . . . and I was very impressed. The open mic encouraged a few individuals to take a turn-thanks to Tom Hogshead John Fleming and Scott Werner). And, I believe it was Pat and Jan Haley who instigated the gang singing a few Barberpole Cat songs, which gave all of us the thrill of ringing some chords. Roz Fischer announced that she is looking for a volunteer to take over her position as HeartThrob Editor. This announcement raised several emotional responses in me. First, I am sad to see her step down, because her participation in our lives has been almost legendary. Second, I am happy that she will have more time to devote to her own activities. And, third, I am concerned because, from experience, I know that she is not likely to get a volunteer simply by asking. But maybe we can help her. Everyone needs a little push to take on a new (and possibly daunting) responsibility. So, if you know someone who you think would be a good HeartThrob Editor, Tell her you have confidence in her, and ask her to give it a try (Even if it doesn’t work out, she will know she is appreciated). I am speaking primarily to the ladies here--but it certainly wouldn’t hurt if some of you guys told your better half that you would be proud to support her in this endeavor. I’ll get off my soapbox now). Dolor Sit Amet June 2016 Issue | Date The food was outstanding and plentiful. The table conversation in my immediate area was interesting and fun (thanks to Don Barnes and his wife, Dale Johnson and his wife, Rob Snyder and Elbie Ford). I hope the other tables were as fortunate. The time flew by, and before we knew it see were clearing the tables and saying our goodbyes. Thanks again to all who participated. (From page 1) See Singing With Resonance accurately and with more confidence. Also. using your resonators can extend your range so you can reach those notes you wished you could sing. Singing with resonance will enrich your understanding of the physical process you go through each time you sing and give you easier access to your singing voice. From "The Role of Resonance in Singing." (Singing For Dummies) Large, full resonant tones are desirable in some styles of music but not as desirable in others. CLASSICAL MUSIC (opera) - A very full resonant tone is desirable to be able to fill a concert hall with sound. CHORAL MUSIC - Less resonance is needed so you can blend with the other singers. COUNTRY MUSIC Country singers are great storytellers and many of their songs are very close to speaking, forward and chatty. Also, less carry is needed due to the use of amplification. MUSICAL THEATER - Similar to choral singing, too much resonance will make it sound like classical music. JAZZ MUSIC - Amplification is used, so just clear tones with some resonance are used. POP-ROCK and R&B MUSIC - These styles of music usually require forward nasal resonance.In barbershop singing, everyone should sing with resonance. Basses should have the most to create a rich vibrant foundation for the chord, leads and baritones a little less because of their higher range but they still need the fullness of sound and tenors the least, but still enough to keep the sound rich and not thin. * By the way, the larger sound you hear while singing in the shower is not resonance, it is reverberation. The bouncing of the sound off the walls only makes it feel louder and fuller to you. Tid Bits The best part of waking up is going back to sleep. If ya think about it, all it really takes to separate the men from the boys is girls. Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot. I'm not a complete idiot, nobody's perfect! I used to have a handle on life, then it broke. I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
