UTC\u2019s Chamber Singers have recorded an album of works by UTC alumnus Ethan McGrath, who has written musical arrangements for poems written by women.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

If you go<\/h4>\n

What:<\/strong> Silver Songs<\/em> CD Release Concert<\/p>\n

When:<\/strong> 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 22<\/p>\n

Where: <\/strong>First Baptist Church, 401 Gateway Ave.<\/p>\n

Admission:<\/strong> Free and open to the public<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The album, titled Silver Songs <\/em>and funded by an ArtsBuild Community Cultural Connections Grant<\/a>, is a collection of original works written by McGrath \u201914, who says he was inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson, Christina Rossetti, Amy Carmichael, Elinor Wylie and McGrath\u2019s friend Sarah Tullock, a fellow UTC alumna.<\/p>\n

Poems such as Dickinson\u2019s \u201cHope Is the Thing with Feathers\u201d and \u201cThat I Did Always Love,\u201d along with Rossetti\u2019s \u201cA Birthday\u201d and Wylie\u2019s \u201cVelvet Shoes\u201d provide the lyrics to McGrath\u2019s songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a joy to hear the things I\u2019ve concocted on paper in the loneliness of my room being translated into real sounds sung by real people,\u201d says McGrath, who earned a bachelor of music in composition from UTC and a master of music in choral studies from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Moments of collaboration are what inspire him, he says, because \u201cin the end, it\u2019s all about the sound and the people who come together to make it happen\u2014the written page is just a cue sheet that helps us get there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to work with the UTC Chambers Singers again. Kevin Ford, the director, has been very supportive of my work ever since my time as a student at UTC. He\u2019s always been happy to have me attend rehearsals and be a part of the process,\u201d McGrath adds.<\/p>\n

The UTC Chamber Singers is the university\u2019s most select choir, comprised of undergraduate and graduate students studying a wide variety of disciplines from music to business to engineering.<\/p>\n

The Chamber Singers previously recorded two albums of spirituals and choral music by composer, conductor, pianist and retired UTC professor Roland M. Carter. Although the choir is no stranger to recording music, the creative process for Silver Songs<\/em> served as a learning experience for its members, Ford says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe singers are learning about the whole process of making a recording from the literature preparation to the tediousness of the actual recording process with constant repetitions and stopping and restarting for helicopters and planes flying overhead or children playing outside the building but loud enough to be heard inside,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n
