arranging and teaching. He has composed over 22 choral
anthems, has conducted at Carnegie Hall, has had
compositions recorded by the Kiev Philharmonic Orchestra and

Accompanist
Patti Strauch brings a wealth of musical expertise and a great
personality to the Chorale. As a performance / rehearsal
accompanist, private piano teacher and contract musician,
Patti has shared her talents with churches, musical theater
and dance studios in Colorado and Florida since 1974. Every
week we are happy listening to her take us through our
numbers and are thankful for the talent she brings to the
Northland Chorale!

About us
Our mission is to enrich the community through music and performing arts
while fostering an environment in which members can express their creativity
and grow as artists. We are so excited to be performing this show for you! This
show represents the cumulative effort and passion of our entire group - every
single person on stage owns part of this show, and that’s in addition to the
singing and dancing.
If you would like the Northland Chorale to perform at your next event, just ask!
We also offer smaller groups to better suit your performance space as needed.
Oh, and save the dates for our next show: “Andrew Lloyd Webber
& Friends” - December 14, 15 & 16, 2012!
Join us
If you like to sing and dance, if you've been in church choirs for as long as you
can remember and are looking for something different, or if you want to feel
the excitement of being on stage and performing in front of a live audience,
we encourage you to audition for the Northland Chorale!
We will hold auditions for all parts early September 2012. For more info,
check our website at www.northlandchorale.org or contact us at

The Beatles may have changed the face of society as we know it, changed
the world some would claim, but one thing is for sure - they knew how to
write a good pop song.
Little did the Fab Four realize at the time, but their instantly memorable,
melody-driven hits set the precedent for modern pop music. And while
historians and sociologists may argue about the Beatles’ effect on society, few
would argue about their effect on the music scene.
One of the most important changes they incorporated was polyrhythm, many
different sounds and rhythms at once, such as drums, lead guitar, rhythm
guitar, vocals, bass guitar and more. The use of polyrhythm made a more
intricate web of sound for the listener, and that web made the music more
interesting. This technique influenced several of the bands we’ll perform for you
today. So now, we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
