Since we are celebrating our 100th season of
003the BDH choir, Miss Lever is making an effort to incorporate music that was performed throughout those 100 years. Varsity choir is a unique situation as we have only existed for the last 9 years. On occasion, Mr. the fever will give us music that is written for trouble choir but still works for us. Once speaking with his professor, Mrs. Paul, she informed him that she enjoyed performing a version of the Korean folk song with trouble choir. So, we have a version of that piece to perform for you. For all songs in English, please feel free to reference to your program for translations.

[Music] I really enjoy this as the first concert of the year. Um it's our only one of the year that we get to share with uh our choir program and Mr. Le Fever. And it's it's always an interesting one. Um if you're
014new to the high school, we we alternate this first concert uh every other year. So this year we're doing all international music uh and then come on back next year for all American music. Uh Mr. Lefver and I were hired here together 10 years ago. Uh and we've been doing that ever since we've been here. So um it's it's exciting. Uh it exposes us to lots of new music, uh different cultures, all that kind of stuff. It's it's a really uh it's a it's a joy to be on this concert with the choir program. Um the orchestra has one more piece for you. Uh I want to thank a few people. Um just point out a few people in your program. There's a number of people um in our thank you section, but uh in
015particular, I want to thank Mr. Greg Richard uh running lights, sound, and our live stream in the back. I'd also like to thank uh all of our colleagues, all of our music colleagues throughout the district, uh elementary, middle, and uh here at the high school. Um all the wonderful things you see on stage uh from choir, band, and orchestra here at the high school, those don't happen without um all the wonderful things happening at our elementary and middle schools. Um so, please a big round of applause for all of our elementary, middle school staff. Uh for my orchestra families, Mr. Lef Fever was talking a little bit of some about some of his um upcoming concerts and things. Um something a little different for those that are are not new to orchestra is we have
016an additional concert this year. I just wanted to point that out. Um we had a large gap in the spring between string fling and our spring concert. So, uh students have been kind of asking like, "Hey, can we get an extra concert in there?" Sure. So, uh I added one. Uh you can look forward to another concert from this group um in March. Um, so take a look at the calendar that went out to you uh in the first week of school to see exactly when that is. So, um, last thing from me, then we'll get our last piece introduced and playing for you. Um, on your way out, uh, as with all of our concerts here at Beaver Dam High School, uh, you'll see a couple wicker baskets. Uh, if you have a couple
017bucks to throw in there, that goes to support all the wonderful students you saw on stage tonight. Um, both groups are taking trips of some sort this year. Um, choir is a little bit bigger, but orchestra's got something going on, too. Um, choir's off to New York. Uh but most of our group uh has a wonderful opportunity to go and see Yoyo Ma this spring. Um if you don't know YoYo Ma, he's one of the truly one of the greatest chists to ever walk the earth. Um he's playing with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. So if you have a couple bucks to throw in that goes to support both those trips, music awards, all that kind of stuff. So uh without further ado, we'll get our last piece introduced. Um thank you for coming tonight. Have
018a great night. Hope you enjoyed the concert. [Applause] Our final selection is Romanian folk dances composed by Ba Bartok arranged by Deborah Baker Monday. We will we will feature four of the six dances from the original piano composition. They are Yokubata, Bioana, Poora Ramanesca and Maruntel. As a young composer, Bartk along with his dear friend Zulten Kodi traveled the countryside of Hungary collecting different folk songs sung by Hungarian villages on an Edison cylinder recorder. In addition to Hungary, Barttok extended his research research to include Slovak and Romanian folk music. Throughout his research, he constantly desired to seek the roots of rhythms, meters, and the use of melodic and harmonic foundations in the songs and dances of his people. Thank you for attending tonight's concert. Drive safe and have a good rest of your night. Please
