"Remember When"
May 18
4 pm
Those who yearn for a time when television sets had "rabbit ears" and the Beatles sang "64" will enjoy "Remember When," a barbershop-style musical by Wilderness Road Chorus of Sweet Adelines, Sunday, May 18, 4 p.m. at Pulaski Elementary School. Jeff McCoy, of the Pulaski High School Drama Department, will be featured guest in the show. "Tickets are the 1950s prices," said Lavelva Stevens, Pulaski, director, of the women's chorus. Tickets are $5 and they will be available at the door the day of the performance and from any chorus member or call 951-2478. Wilderness Road Chorus sings barbershop-style music. It is part of Sweet Adelines International, an educational organization of more than 30,000 women worldwide. Barbershop-style harmony has four parts: lead, a solid sound that usually sings the melody; tenor, a light, sweet, harmony part, sung above the lead; bass, a rich mellow part singing the lowest notes of the chord; and baritone, a harmony part crossing above and below the lead. Each part blends to create the unique sound. Barbershop-style music is described as "ringing." When all the notes in the chord are sung, the audience hears a fifth note ringing through the room. That sound is called "ringing" the chord. Barbershop, along with jazz is an art form developed in the United States. The singers in the chorus sing as a hobby and enjoy learning about harmony and presenting their music as entertainment at community events.
