  • Notes: St. Cecilia Chamber Choir will present the Fauré Requiem on Saturday, May 4 at 3:00, and Sunday, May 5 at 3:00 p.m., at Damariscotta Baptist Church. The beloved Requiem was first performed in 1888, and has become a standard of the choral repertoire. Paired with the Requiem will be the exquisite Cantique de Jean Racine. Both of Fauré’s works will be accompanied by Sean Fleming on organ and a professional chamber orchestra, with the featured soloists Jonathan Scott, baritone, and Marybeth McCaffrey, soprano. Advance tickets are strongly encouraged for the concerts. Unlike many works composed in the late 19th century, Fauré left out the more fiery aspects of the Requiem Mass. Of his Requiem, Fauré wrote, “Altogether it is as gentle as I am myself.” Artistic director Linda Blanchard has selected a potpourri of music for the second half of the concert; including the comforting “Sing Gently” composed by Eric Whitacre in 2020, a setting of Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the thing with feathers” by Christopher Tin, and Elizabethan composer Thomas Weelkes’ “Thule, the Period of Cosmography,” based on an interesting text full of geographical place names. Several pieces based on sea subjects will be sung, including an arrangement of the chantey “High Barbary,” “Full Fathom Five” by Charles Wood, and “The Mermaid.” And be prepared for a surprise or two! Tickets are $20 for adults, free for students. Purchase them at Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta and online at ceciliachoir.org.

  • Notes: Sheepscot Chorus invites you to concerts featuring the beloved Mozart Requiem on Saturday, April 27 at 3:00 PM, and Sunday, April 28 at 3:00 PM at the Second Congregational Church in Newcastle. The Chorus will perform this ever-popular work under the direction of Linda Blanchard, and accompanied by organist Sean Fleming and a professional 24-piece orchestra. The concerts will feature the well-known soloists Mary Sullivan, soprano, Joëlle Morris, mezzo-soprano, David Myers-Wakeman, tenor, and John David Adams, bass. One of the enduring masterpieces of classical literature, the Requiem was Mozart’s final and perhaps greatest work. Commissioned anonymously, the Requiem remained unfinished at the time of Mozart’s untimely death, adding an aura of mystery and intrigue to its composition. Yet, despite its incomplete state, the Requiem is a testament to Mozart’s genius, showcasing his unparalleled ability to blend rich harmonies with poignant melodies. Shorter favorites will also be featured on the program, including two by Eric Whitacre; the humorous “Animal Crackers, Vol. 1,” and the stunning “The Seal Lullaby.” Performances by the Chorus’ 2024 student music award winners will also be featured. The concerts will close with the toe-tapping gospel-style number “Walk Him Up the Stairs” from the musical “Purlie.” For more information, visit facebook.com/sheepscotchorus and sheepscotvalleychorus.org, email info@sheepscotvalleychorus.org, or call 207-548-3632.
