Hope For The Holidays, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

I believe Hope for the Holidays is the most appropriate topic for us to consider in these trying times. With so many changes taking place affecting us all, the time for examining one's inner self is greater than ever before. Perhaps the market conditions are a necessary evil, probably long overdue, forcing us to open our eyes to what really matters. Whichever way we choose to look at it, change is required.

The Colors Of Our Lives, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

"The Colors of Our Lives" has very special meaning for me. I see and hear music in textures and colors. The words have texture and color. The songs we sing, the moods they express are in bright technicolor. I think this may be the very reason that new music is so exciting to me. What will I see in my mind's eye as I read the music and the text to myself "To Singing," one of my favorite songs on this concert, is a huge rainbow of colors. We're taken from the bleak grays of a questioning child tormented by …

Let Us Entertain You, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

Although our spring musical program for 2006 is ostensibly focused on entertainment, light fun, and Americana, it is no coincidence that the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus has chosen songs which speak seriously of liberation -- not only of gay and lesbian people, but also the liberation of Africans and AfricanAmericans, and liberation from the restrictive historical trappings of certain music itself.

A Winter's Tale, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

"In the bleak mid winter," the poet tells us, "frosty wind made moan. "For those who have grown up in Buffalo and Western New York, window scrapers, snow plows, anti-freeze, insulated doors, down jackets, ear muffs, and gloves have become a way of life. We may pride ourselves on having "three and a half seasons," but it is the "Buffalo winter" that has given the city its notoriety. Ice storms, blizzards, twenty five mile-an-hour winds, lake effects, school closings, the morning traffic reports have all become part of the litany of language that seems to define us more readily than …

Fearless, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

There will always be differing opinions. As long as we remain a democracy all should feel free to express them. Through our music we remain "Fearless!" to do so. We hope that a rational majority can and will far outweigh those in our society with reactionary thinking.

Brothers In Song, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

Most of us have stored some favorite songs in our memory banks. We have associated certain words of songs with particular moments in our lives: romances, tragedies, departures, breakups, or events that we could never fully re-experience without recalling those particular songs. When we remember a song, or hear a song that transports us back to our pasts, our lives become enriched with that personal and intimate sense of continuity.

Singing With Pride, Buffalo Gay Mens Chorus

Programs

The contemporary American teLevision industry may give the mistaken impression of having invented the gay sensibility with Queer as Folk and Six Feet Under. It might come as a surprise to a contemporary-driven media that American and European film narratives about gays before the nineties do have a history and include such classics as Suddenly Last Summer, Midnight Cowboy, Cruising, Death in Venice, Prick Up Your Ears, Taxi zum Klo, and many others. And gay art films from other cultures have far outpaced the American mainstream's need not to be shocked by nontraditional sexual behavior with the more recent portrayals …

If Music Be The Food Of Love Play On!, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

"Love Thy Neighbor" is a phrase that most of us have grown up with as part of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Although few of us here tonight have probably ever been totally consistent in going beyond merely tolerating those we don't like or agree with, the word "neighbor" resonates more deeply than a short-term or casual relationship. Even as metaphor, "neighbor" suggests the kind of long-term proximity requiring a consistent attempt not to offend, a certain form of behavioral restraint with the knowledge that, in most cases, our neighbors are going to be there the next day, no matter what we …
