Arcadian notes
Greetings!
For each concert season, you will find various resources on this site and on this page to assist with our rehearsals, including links to PDFs of scores and audio/video of various works. Yet, most scores and links should now be accessed via the Chorale's Chorus Connection site.
PDFs (if available) are downloadable, and can be printed as you prefer.
Let's keep our joy alive---sing every day!

Indian Summer (from South Dakota Shadows) - Jackson Berkey
Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum - Almeda Berkey, Music Director
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QqaObic7KE
South Dakota Shadows was premièred in 1989 as a part of the centennial celebration of the statehood of South Dakota. In keeping with that celebration, all texts chosen for the work were by South Dakota writers, including Charles “Badger” Clark, South Dakota poet laureate.
Indian Summer, like much of South Dakota Shadows, is set in a romantic choral style reminiscent of many late 19th c. Scandinavian composers. James Livingston's American Shadows CD program notes beautifully describe this work. He writes, "The sudden shifts of [South Dakota's] climate provide more opportunities for Indian Summer than any other region. This little meditation evokes the plains, where light transforms images, and an observer reaches instinctively for a hand. Touch defines the moment. Stone, water, golden sunlight, the sound of a crow draw together in a scene of unique human significance.".
