Preheim conducts final concert for Chorale The Goshen Community Chorale will present the spring concert of its 14th season, Sunday, April 27, 3p.m., in Union Auditorium, Goshen College. Celebrating the bicentennial of

the birth of Franz Schubert and the i centennial of the death of Johannes Brahms, the concert will feature the music of theso-towo-geeat composers of the romantic era. Franz Schubert (1797-1828) wrote the “Mass in E-flat Major” during the last year of his life. The Chorale will perform the Kyrie and Gloria from this work. Schubert will also be represented by a setting of “The Lord of My Shepherd.” Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was greatly influenced by folk music of his time. The “Four Gypsy Songs” are descriptive of the gypsy life of the Magyar people of the Hapsburg Empire. Several settings of folk songs written for men’s chorus will also be presented. “Nanie” is a song of lamentation (often referred to as the “Little Brahms Requiem”), drawing heavily from the stories of Greek mythology. Founded in 1983 by Dr. Doyle Preheim, Professor of Music at Goshen College, the Goshen Community Chorale has presented two concerts per year during the 14 years of its existence. The April 27 concert will be the final appearance of Dr. Preheim as conductor of the Chorale. It will also be the final concert for accompanist Mary Jo Preheim, who has performed with the Goshen Community Chorale since 1988. Tickets for the concert will be available at the door on the day of the performance. General admission tickets are $6; $4 for senior citizens and students. The public is cordially invited to attend.

overall history of the war, and “The Queen’s Man,” by Penman, another “whodunit” set in the middle ages. A book Brian highly recommends to others would be ‘Trinity” by Leon Uris. He states, “It was a novel, yet it gave a great perspective to the troubles in Northern Ireland. It had excellent character studies.” If he were going away for six months, and could take just one book along, other than the Bible, it would be “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. He feels it is broad in scope, and has quite a few moral lessons as well. Brian would require “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Steven Covey as required reading for all high school graduates, stating “It seems to ave an anecdote for every lesson it teaches.” Asa child, he, enjoyed reading history books, particularly about the Civil War and Middle Ages. He regularly reads Time magazine, as well as Ireland of the Welcomes, Chicago, and Wall Street Journal. If Brian could spend an evening with any author, it would be Father Andrew Greeley. “His views on religion and the application to his stories are interesting to me. Also Sharon Penman, who shares my interest in medieval history.”
