[csc_newsline] Concert Singers' Choral Notes - for the week beginning 11/07/11

[Ingrid Speakman]

*Choral Notes for the week of 11/07*

 *A Message from Larry:*


*To answer some questions: A note about ordering music.*

*Why are we ordering copies of music that some of you might already have at
home? The short answer: we can order new copies at discounts of 25-35% off
the retail price when we order over 100 copies - but with no return
options. Some publishers offer returns but then we end up paying the
shipping both ways. Each packet typically features music from numerous
publishers. The idea is to provide music to you as inexpensively as
possible – this may sometimes necessitate including a $1.75 item that you
already have.*

*There are times, however, when due to the expense of frequently performed
extended works, such as Mozart Requiem, we will give singers the option of
bringing their own score. *

*I hope this sheds some light on the issue. It also speaks to the
importance of each singer letting us know when they are participating in
each project; preferably paying* *for the packet online in advance of the
first rehearsal. This is the best way for us to insure that you have scores
when you come to the first rehearsal. It will also protect the organization
from buying music that we cannot return.*

*The second-to-last piece of Music has arrived:*

*"Jingle Bells" is ready to be picked up on Monday.*

If you sang at the opening of the Cary Arts Center and still have the music
that is stamped *WATTS STREET BAPTIST CHURCH* - please turn it in to Emiko,
