The Collage Vocal Ensemble Presents:
Five Scientifically Proven Signs You’re in Love
You’ve just met someone special. You think this might even be LOVE – but how can you be sure? Naturally, your first thought will be to turn to your trusted local chamber choir to help you figure it out. But, proceed with caution! Do you really need to hear yet another sentimental concert program extolling the glories of romantic love, complete with roses, rainbows, and the usual allusions to spring? No! This is the 21st century, and what you need are some cold, hard, scientific facts.
The Collage Vocal Ensemble is here to help. Join us on Sunday, March 30th at 2:00 p.m. at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church in Menlo Park for a concert performance both entertaining and edifying! Drawing upon our extensive research into more than 500 years’ worth of choral repertoire, we will highlight five “scientifically” proven signs you’re in love. Composers such as Gerald Finzi, Stephen Foster, Thomas Morley, and Claude Debussy knew a thing or two about amour. P.D.Q. Bach, Gustav Holst, and John Clements have insights to add, as well. But, that’s not all. Once you know you’re in love, what then? Find out what our research – based upon authoritative choral settings on the subject by experts including Lionel Daunais, Paul Sjolund, Benjamin Britten, Gwyneth Walker and Nathan Christensen – indicates are the three most likely outcomes of True Love. (Hint: you don’t want to be on the business end of a Murder Ballad.) You really can’t afford to miss this once-in-a-lifetime performance. Your love life may never be the same again!
