The Colorado Springs Chorale
Educational Outreach Program
for High School Students
Donald P. Jenkins, Instructor
Choral Connections: Two Conversations
A. Shakespeare and Music for classes in English Literature. Musical
settings of the plays and other texts. Does music change texts?
B. German Romantic Poetry and Music for classes in German. Brahms’ setting of Holderlin’s Schicksalslied and others. What is Romanticism?
These presentations are tuition free.
Purpose of the Program:
Our intent is to offer a rewarding stimulus to high school students in the hope that they will participate more fully in their current activities and further develop life-long appreciation for choral music through an understanding of the relationship between choral music and the context of the time, its impact on and how it is affected by contemporary society, mores, values, beliefs and environment.
