From the Maestro The wheel of the year keeps turning, returning, The sun, ever dancing, shall lengthen the day. Those words are the opening line of New Year’s Carol by Charles Silvestri and Ola Gjeilo. We are one of eight men’s choruses from all over the country (and one from Canada!) that commissioned it. This wonderful piece retells the story of how time moves forward – year after year replaying the same traditions, the same seasons. We are a little older and – hopefully - a little wiser every year! It is a wonderful feeling to welcome you again to the BGMC Holiday show. I am often asked when we put together the show – how do I pick which songs to sing? Because of the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus’ upcoming trip to the Middle East (Israel & Turkey) we really wanted to look at creating and finding peace. How wonderful would it be if, when we stopped to celebrate the holidays, peace ruled all over the world? That would be something worth celebrating! So today you’ll hear several songs about peace. Being a chorus of gay men, in Act II we are going to celebrate like you have never seen us celebrate before! The “What if. . .” Parody Carols ask the question “What if Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town had been written by Stephen Sondheim?” or ”What if We Three Kings had been written by Jerry Herman? We are going to answer those questions as only over-the-top gay men can! So get ready, the wheel of the year has brought us back to the Holiday season where we can, once again, celebrate with those we love!

Welcome Welcome! We’re so happy to have you at today’s performance. Planning and preparations for this show began last summer – so we have Christmas in July in our office – usually when the air conditioning knocks off when it hits 90 outside. The guys begin rehearsing in early September – singing “fa la la la la” while fanning themselves to keep the heat away. (Well there’s a stereotype!) After last year’s Polar Vortex I didn’t think any of us would look forward to having a nip in the air…but there’s something about this time of year that it’s nice to have. Celebrating the holidays includes appreciating cooler weather and even snow on the ground (just not on a show day, please!) It all comes together during these magical weeks in December – and it’s all because of you! Your support makes our work possible. We create musical experiences to inspire change, build community and celebrate difference. Talk to your friends about us. Bring them to an event. Follow us on Twitter. Like us on Facebook. Download our app. Make sure you are on the mailing list and the email list. Volunteer. Audition. And, of course, donations are always welcome. Individual contributions fill the gap between corporate giving and ticket sales, which is less than half of BGMC’s income. We are able to make an impact in the community thanks to the talents of hundreds of singers and volunteers. We especially thank our foundation and corporate sponsors for their ongoing support: Bank of America, Jet Blue and IVF New England. This year is the 20th consecutive year of support from Bank of America and its predecessors. We are fortunate to have such long standing partners in the community. Thank you for being part of the BGMC family – enjoy and may 2015 bring you joy!

Meet The Staff CHAD WEIRICK, Principal Accompanist & Assistant

Music Director

A native of Rockford, Illinois, Chad graduated high school at the age of 15 and moved to New York City. There, he became the organist for Radio City Music Hall and rehearsal pianist for the Rockettes, a position that earned him a listing in ‘Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not!”’ as the youngest musician to ever work full time on Broadway. He also was the pianist for various Broadway shows including “A Chorus Line”, “Shenandoah” and “The Act”. Subsequently he moved to Boston to attend the New England Conservatory of Music, where he received a Masters Degree in Composition under Malcolm Peyton. He also worked as music director for Marriott’s Great America theme park in Gurnee, Illinois. Chad’s numerous choral arrangements have been performed and recorded not only by the BGMC, but many other choruses nationally and internationally. Currently he works in the choral department of Wellesley High School and is the Minister of Music at the First Congregational Church in Hanover, MA. In addition to his music credits, he is most proud of being a registered black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Chad thanks his partner David Slaga for his support, friendship and love. Chad has been the Principal Accompanist & Assistant Music Director since 1993 and serves Assistant Choral Director and Accompanist at Wellesley High School.

LEWANA CLARK, American Sign Language Interpreter LeWana Clark has a unique style of interpreting that incorporates not only the lyrics that are sung but also the tone and musical qualities of the melody. Since becoming nationally certified as an ASL/English Interpreter in 1979, she continues to provide ASL communication services for deaf, hard of hearing, and non-deaf consumers in Boston, across the Commonwealth, nationally and internationally. Although she spends most of her time working in court or in other legal settings, she’s also qualified to interpret in medical, mental health, governmental, educational and theatrical/performing arts settings. Lewana has been the American Sign Language Interpreter for the BGMC since 1989.

Translations Ave Maria Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen. Gloria Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace to people of good will We praise you, We bless you, We adore you, We glorify you. The Ground Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, Grant us peace. New Year’s Carol

After all the gifts have been opened, After the candles all have burned down, After the warmth comes the chill of the season, After the carols, the winter wind’s sound. After all our friends have departed, After the tinsel is all put away, That is the time to reflect and remember, The gifts of the season last more than one day. The wheel of the year keeps turning, returning, The sun, ever dancing, shall lengthen the day. Soon will the frostbite give way to the flower, Under the snow waits the promise of May. We hold in out hearts the joys of this season, Warming our spirits as bitter winds blow, Bringing to mind our soul, all that matters. And that which is hollow, in faith letting go. 28
