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 …

Songs Of Freedom, Buffalo Gay Men's Chrous

Programs

Welcome to the Spring concert of the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus. This is our fourth concert since our founding in 2001 and we've grown from 50 men for that first concert in February of 2003 to 70 men tonight. Our mission is not only to entertain, but also to present different kinds of choral music that a talented male chorus under the leadership of an experienced and skilled music director can perform. So we have a very broad repertoire for a discriminating, eclectic audience that includes both vocal and instrumental pieces, classics, Broadway, and somewhat lighter selections. As well, because …

Of Sweet Harmony, Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus

Programs

A concert of music about music was the theme proposed for tonight's program, with a title taken from the lyric beauty of Act V of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. The scene describes the joys of listening to music and describes someone who is unable to enjoy music as "fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; the motions of his spirits are as dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus; let no such man be trusted."
