A “parranda” is when a small group offriends gathers together and celebrate thePuerto Rican version of Christmas bycaroling. Most “parranderos” play somesort of instrument, either guitarras,tamboriles, güiro maracas, or palitos. Andthey all sing. A parranda tends to be moresecular than religious, However many ofthe traditional aguinaldos (Puerto RicanChristmas songs) retain the holiday spirit.

Judy Battista of the Jubilee Multi-Cultural Center descibes “parranda” as

Latin rather than Puerto Rican. Her studiowill be hosting a parranda on January 8 at7:00pm, 87 Ronald Reagan Blvd.,Warwick.

Los Caribenos (see cover photo) will beplaying tradiitonal Latin Christmas Music.

Dorothy Day(1897-1980), wasat first an agnosticand, after twocommon lawmarriages and an

abortion, a convert and advocate of theCatholic Economic Theory of Distributismand a “Christian Anarchist”.

Day had rejected organized religion incollege because she didn't see so-called"religious people" helping the poor. Duringthe depression she created the CatholicWorker communal farms and sent food toNYC to feed people. The first “House ofHospitality” opened in 1933 in UlsterCounty and another opened later inDutchess. Today over 130 Catholic Workercommunities exist in thirty-two states andeight foreign countries

Day alienated many Catholics with hercondemnation of Franco during the SpanishCivil War. In response to her criticism ofCardinal Francis Spellman and his stand on

striking cemetery workers in 1951, shecame under pressure by the Archdiocese ofNew York. Dorothy Day is now beingconsidered for sainthood.

“Three Lives”Day is one of three historic figures in

Three Lives, produced and directed byChris Farlekas (see cover photo): VincentVan Gogh (portrayed by Farlekas), AllenGinsberg (portrayed by Dennis O’Brien)and Day (portrayed by Denise Assante).

Destination......Flute, PPiano aand EEuphonium

at SSenior CCenterby Naomi Kennedy

The euphonium, a small version of thetuba, is one of the least known musicalinstruments in Western civilization.Derived from the Greek word euphonos,meaning "beautiful-sounding", it also has anextensive range.

In the United States, there areapproximately 50 professional euphoniumplayers who make their living off thisinstrument which is often labeled the "tenortuba" because of its lack of recognition.

Euphonium music has developeddramatically in the last 50 years. However,there is still very little orchestral literaturewritten for it. Composers are just beginningto realize that the euphonium is comparableto the trumpet, flute, clarinet, and evenpossibly the violin, because of its versatility.

Jason Ham, thought of as one of the most

superb euphonium soloists of our time, grewup in South Carolina where he beganplaying the euphonium at 12 years old. He

now resides in Walden with his wife, flutistBonnie Ham.

An international performer, since 2002Jason has played in the U.S. Military Bandat West Point. On April 8, 2009 heperformed as a soloist in Carnegie Hall. "Itwas a great opportunity. When you thinkabout the soloists that have performed atCarnegie, you then think, why am I on thisstage; a euphonium player in Carnegie Hallat the age of at 30 years old! I considermyself very blessed to get to perform on aninstrument I love." Jason said.

Jason claims the euphonium is "thegreatest instrument on the planet. It's like apaintbrush or pencils for drawing in thevisual arts. For me, because the euphoniumhas the sound that it does, it conveys themessage I need to express. The euphoniumis a musical instrument that can doanything!" Jason emphatically and proudlystated.

OOM-PAH! For the 113rd free concert in the Grand

Montgomery Chamber Music Series onJanuary 23 at 3:00pm in the Senior Center,36 Bridge Street, Jason and Bonnie will bejoined by the ubiquitous RuthanneSchempf (see pages 12 and 16) for whatpromises to be a most unique concert.

PPaanniiss AAnnggeelliiccuuss:: The Heavenly Art of Baking Bread

Sunday mornings in the Historic Villageof Montgomery are not unlike those in ahundred or so small hamlets locatedthroughout the picturesque Northeast.Church bells ring. A mom, a dad and a littleguy walk hand in hand along a modest andunsoiled sidewalk. Historic homes andquaint shops line spacious streets. With thegreatest of ease, one could almost believe aRockwell documentary was in production.

If you dare, chart your course for a strollon the Western end of Clinton Street, in thevicinity of Montgomery's DowntownBreads & Bake Shop. Sensuous aromasfrom baking breads permeate the area andlure the Sunday morning stroller,intoxicating the mind and transportingthoughts to a simpler, more comfortabletime. Apart from any religious connotationsassociated with the bread of angels, theessence of companionship tingles and tearsfrom within, and with a little imaginationone can faintly hear the late great tenor'sheavenly refrain, "Panis angelicus...Dat

panis caelicus..."Stacy Hillman's business has become a

successful attraction that literally causesmouths to water and nostalgic tears toaccumulate. Shelves are lined with varietiesof sumptuous cakes, artisan breads andimported cheeses. But on a Sunday morningit is the lure of the still warm-from-the-ovensemolina bread, pane di semola, that is mosttempting. Semolina flour is drawn or takenfrom durum wheat and when coarselyground is notorious for its use in theproduction of pasta and couscous. Whenprocessed for baking it has a vibrant, goldencolor, a rich flavor and a distinctively chewytexture.

It gets better: Some Mediterraneancultures determine that Sunday is the daydedicated to making sauces, e.g., saucesflavored with onions, garlic, tomatoes,celery, basil, parsley, oregano and lots andlots of tradition. These recipes generallycall for the sauce, once brought to a boil, tosimmer for four to five long, temptinghours. The culinary process is monitored byperiodic stirring with a large wooden spoonand, of course, tasting. To avoid doubledipping it is best to carefully tear pieces offresh semolina bread from the mother loafand cautiously dip each into the sauce.Repeat as necessary. The full flavor of adelectable sauce is best monitored andappreciated by using this method. Thus, ifyou stroll on Sunday mornings and findyourself in the vicinity of the DowntownBreads and Bake Shop and are party to thepractice of Sunday sauces, purchase twoloafs of Stacy's Semolina, for the first will,to the surprise of the unconscious, beconsumed by the time all are called to thetable.

It is at this table we break bread and cometo understand the indisputable relationshipof bread to companions, and the importanceof a home town bakery.


..........Montgomery..........

by J. A. Di Bello

"Montessori." Say it slowly, syllable bysyllable, and feel how it rolls from the tip ofyour tongue with all the sensationsassociated with melodious sounding,delectable creations.

No, this is not one of Montgomery'sfamous culinary marvels. It is a concept andby definition is the essential component ofthe Montgomery Montessori School, aprivate, child-centered environment wherethe development of love, a love of learning,is the focus of each activity.

Interestingly, the fine arts and languagearts are justifiably awarded high academic

standing in the Montessori environment.Music delivered via Kindermusik and theelements of visual literacy are notconsidered to be "Extras"!

Montessori as a practice is linked to Dr.Maria Montessori (1870-1952), a notedphysician and educator who viewed the artof learning as an adventure-filled journeycreated from within the learner. Theapplication of what developed from thework experiences of Dr. Montessori hasexpanded through many countries and isreferred to as the Montessori philosophy,consisting of predetermined situations thatsteer a learner in the direction ofdevelopmentally appropriate outcomes.

Art aand LLove AAre NNot EExtraThe activities are of particular importanceas one considers the development of visualliteracy as it is integrated with the languagearts.

And here, perhaps, lies the rub; there is nopredetermined philosophy or defined list ofactivities approved by Dr. Montessori.There are, fortunately, variousmethodologies associated and utilized in the"Montessori" setting. Formation of theplans relies on the instincts of the student aseach confronts his/her world. Approachesand applications are as diversified as thestudents, for it is the function of the directoror teacher to monitor the environment andallow the child to discover and love the joysof self-directed development. Thus the roleof the director is critical to the success of thechild and the school.

The Montgomery Montessori School isfortunate to have at its helm, ParinazMokhtari. She is trained andknowledgeable of various learning stylesand corresponding cognitive skills. Theability to articulate the skills containedwithin the disciplines with the enthusiasmdemonstrated by Ms. Parinazis isexceptional. As a child grows, knowledgeand appreciation of the arts is an essential.

To smooth this process with enthusiasticappreciation shows that the arts inMontgomery are not, will not and cannot beEXTRAS!

Mike Jaroszkodemonstrating at Gaggle of Artists

by Jim HillerThe antics of the Teutul family may be

nothing special to folks in Orange County,but for millions of TV viewers across theglobe, American Chopper has fed theweekly appetite of those craving high techbike building mixed with lowbrow verbalexchanges.

Now the show’s junior star, MikeyTeutul, has emulated his brother Paul Jr.and father Paul Sr. by opening his ownbusiness, the WolfGang Gallery inMontgomery. But unlike his kin, Mikey’s

pursuit is fine art, and his preferred mediumis commercial-grade canned paint oncanvas.

Teutul’s works are generallycharacterized by their large sizes, modestuse of color, and uncomplicatedcompositions. Many are monotone, andadmittedly take him minutes, or evenseconds, to execute by pouring orsplattering the paint on the canvas. With noformal training, the results tend to be raw,palpably expressive, and befitting of hisunconstrained, amiable TV persona.

In December, the Discovery Channelfilmed an opening party at the Wolf GangGallery for an upcoming TV episode,attended by members of the OrangeCounty Arts Council, family and friends.

On the TV show, Mikey’s artisticundertaking has not always been takenseriously by the crew at his brother’s shop.“The biggest kick for me was seeing mybrother's and mother's faces when they camein and they saw that the place actuallylooked professional… that I'm beingconstructive, and not destructive. That I'mmaking a real go at something,” says Teutul.

As for the big leap to his own commercialspace, “You know, what you really need fora gallery is white walls and paintings. I hadthe paintings, so I was just hoping to find aspace to put the white walls. And I have, andI love it. This place has a real New YorkCity feel, and there's a quality to that,especially being that we're kind of a starterkit right now.”

While his painting career is a recentundertaking, his love for art goes back sometime. “I've made some trips to museums inthe city. At the Met I saw some realmasterpieces from long ago. At MOMA, Iwas awed by Pollack’s real depth anddifferent levels of emotion. I visited theGuggenheim to see some wacky, crazy stuff— sculpture art, ropes hanging fromceilings, turning into piles on the ground.That was kind of a lesson in how B.S. couldbe presented as art too. And that peoplewould apparently pay top dollar for it.”

With titles like Radio Activist,Avocado’keefe, Dirty Charles, and PoodleJazz, Teutul’s pieces are thought-provokingas well as visually assaulting. He’s happy totell visitors the story behind each titled workwithout much prodding.

As for his immediate plans for 2011,“Straight to the Louvre! But seriously, I'll behappy if I can make enough to keep mydoors open, afford some paint and canvas,and continue to do what I enjoy.”

The WolfGang Gallery is located at 40Railroad Avenue in the Village ofMontgomery.

Going green is one of the ways we canhelp our planet. The Art of Recycling hopesto encourage you to create art from objectsthat most consumers toss away.

As you know, we all contribute to thelandfill and it's over-flowing with items thatcan be recycled to create fabulous art. Thefirst challenge is an easy one for all toparticipate in whether you are anaccomplished artist or a recycling devotee.

Although Chanukah, Christmas, andKwanza have passed, this project can bestarted now in preparation for next year.Start collecting those burnt out light bulbs,which can be re-cycled into fabulous

ornaments for any occasion. A simpleproject and easy to do.

Here's how to get started making lightbulb ornaments:

First clean the light bulbs thoroughly withrubbing alcohol or warm soap and water,then use white paint for your basecoat, letdry and repeat. Let your creativity take itfrom there.

Paint a scene; make a Santa or a ghost forHalloween. What about fireworks for July4? The possibilities are endless. Paint starson a curly bulb. Keep your glue gun handyand add texture with fabrics and buttons orjewelry. To hang, simply attach a pipecleaner or use the wire from a damaged lightcord. Get wire cutters and pick the color youwant. What about a light bulb ornamentbouquet from tiny bulbs? How's about

adding toilet paper cardboard as a holder forplace settings, paint the guests name on thecardboard and they get to take the ornamenthome as a favor. This can be a solo project,family affair, or fundraising idea.

I can go on and on, but now it's time foryou to create your recycled light bulbornament.

GNSO Family CConcert’s “Double” MMasterpiece

For the Greater Newburgh SymphonyOrchestra’s (GNSO) 2011 Family Concert,Music Director, Dr. Woomyung Choe, hasselected classical music that will pleaseboth adults and children: music fromBizet’s Carmen, music from Grieg’s PeerGynt, a popular Brahms Hungarian Dance,and a lively Rossini overture.

To complement these short andentertaining pieces, Dr. Choe has invitedRuthanne Schempf and Ada Margoshesas guest pianists for two great works.

Schempf will be the soloist for Mozart’sPiano Concerto no. 23 in A, K.488, one ofhis finest.

The second highlight of the afternoon isCamille Saint-Saens’ fourteen movementmasterpiece Carnival of the Animals,originally written for two pianos andchamber ensemble, and later arranged fortwo pianos and full orchestra.

Saint-Saëns, was apparently concernedthat the piece was toofrivolous and likely toharm his reputation as aserious composer, so hesuppressed performancesof it and only allowed The

Swan movement to be published in hislifetime. Small private performances weregiven for friends like Franz Liszt. Saint-Saëns did, however, include a provisionwhich allowed the suite to be published

after his death.What Saint-Saens never imagined was

that 28 years after his passing, hismasterwork would be totally transformed by

poet Ogden Nash in 1949into even more of a delightto the ears.

Originally performed ona popular recording withNoel Coward as narrator,Nash’s brilliant, humorousverse opus is a masterpiece

on its own. When combined with the musical

masterwork, Carnival of the Animalsbecomes one of the greatest concertentertainments of the twentieth centruy.

Joining Schempf and Margoshes and theorchestra will be “the Dean of HudsonValley radio”, Joe Manglass, who willrecite Nash’s deliciously delightful words.

“Camille Saint-Saens was racked withpains when people addressed him as ‘SaintSaynes’. He held the human race to blamebecause they could not pronounce his name.And so he turned with metronome and fifeto glorify other forms of life.”

The performance will take place onJanuary 15 at 3:00pm in Aquinas Hall,Mount St. Mary College, Powell Street,Newburgh, (Snow date is January 16 at3:00pm).

For reservations: 845-913-7157.

................Newburgh

Instrumentalit and composer Jean"Django" Reinhardt (1910-1953) was

born in Liberchies,Pont-à-Celles, Belgium,into a family of Romanygypsies. He invented anentirely new style ofjazz guitar technique(sometimes called 'hot'jazz guitar) that has

since become a living musical traditionwithin French gypsy culture. "Django" isRomani for "I awake."

He spent most of his youth in Romanyencampments close to Paris, playing violin,banjo, guitar and banjo-guitar from an earlyage, eventually abandoning the banjo-guitarin favor of the guitar.

He was influenced by two older gypsymusicians, the banjoist Gusti Mahla andthe guitarist Jean "Poulette" Castro. Ableto make a living in music from his earlyteens onwards, he received little formaleducation and only acquired the rudimentsof literacy in adult life.

At the age of 18, Reinhardt was injured ina fire. The third and fourth fingers of his lefthand were badly burned. With rehabilitationand practice he relearned his craft in acompletely new way, even as his third andfourth fingers remained partially paralysed.He played all of his guitar solos with only

two fingers, and used the twoinjured digits only for chordwork.

In 1934, Reinhardt andParisian violinist StephaneGrappelli were invited toform the "Quintette du HotClub de France", one of thefew well-known jazzensembles composed only ofstring instruments.

The rest is history.For a Djano Reinhardt

Tribute, world renown jazz guitarist andcomposer Frank Vignola has assembled a

“Hot Club” for the ongoing Tom HumphreyGuitar Series. The trio will bring the soundof Gypsy Jazz to the Ritz Lobby on January29 at 8:00pm.

Newburgh Chamber Music wasfounded in the year 2000 by Philip Westand Carole Cowan to promote music in thebeautiful setting of Newburgh and its manyhistoric venues. The concerts draw on theprofessional talents of widely-acclaimedmusicians in the Hudson Valley andbeyond.

For its February 6 concert, NewburghChamber Music is bringing Hudson Valleyfavorite Kairos back to Newburgh. Theword kairos is from the ancient Greekmeaning the right or opportune moment(the supreme moment). The ancient Greekshad two words for time, chronos and kairos.While chronos refers to chronological orsequential time, kairos signifies a time inbetween, a moment of undetermined timein which something special happens. Itdenotes the state of mind the ensemblehopes to achieve in their music, in whichthe past and future merge with the present in

the listener’sexperience,” theirwebsite says.

Prior to theperformance, Dr.Joel Evans,o b o i s t -extroadinaire, isoffering a pre-concert talk at2:00pm on Bach’schoral and

chamber music, the focus of the concert,which will be performed by Kairos and theN e w b u r g hC h a m b e rM u s i cEnsemble.

The concertitself willbegin at3:00pm in St.G e o r g e ’ sChurch, 105Grand St.,across fromthe NewburghFree Libraryparking lot. Snow date is February 13.

The Tony s War :1957-1958

by Derek Leet

Ah. The golden age of the AmericanMusical. That was a time!

When did it start? Most musical-ologistssay in 1927 with Show Boat. Others claimit was when Of Thee I Sing won the PulitzerPrize for drama. Yes, “drama” (1931).

When did it end? That date is up forgrabs since no one musical has ever beengiven the distinction of being the last greatwork in the 30s-40s-50s-60s “book” genre.Mame? Fiddler on the Roof? She LovesMe? Cabaret? Man of La Mancha?

Whichever it was, the golden age endedwhen the Sondheim-Lloyd Webber, et al“age” took over, overlapping with the book-driven likes of Chicago, Annie and TheRothschilds.

However, what HAS earned distinction isthe acme, the culmination opus of thegolden age and that was: the year - 1957, theshow - West Side Story, which is said bymany to be the musical wherein the art formreached its peak with a brilliant, imaginativeequalization of all the elements - music,lyrics, dialogue and dance, and theperformers artistry required an equal

combination of abilities - singing, actingand (ballet) dancing.

In September 1957, when it opened at theWinter Garden theatre, everyone said itwould win all the Tony’s for the 1957-58season including:

Best musical (book-music-lyrics), CarolLawrence, actress in a musical, LarryKert, actor in a musical, all the designawards, and the two very obvious shoo-ins:

Jerome Robbins for choreography and Chita Rivera for best featured actress in

a musical.NOT!

In December The Music Man opened,and the critics could not contain theirenthusiasm. Not since Guys and Dolls and

My FairLady did aBroadwaym u s i c a lr e c e i v esuch ravereviews.

When itcame timefor the

Tony’s, leading ladies Carol Lawrence andBarbara Cook, not stars at the time, wereput into the featured category. Larry Kertand - the big shock- Chita Rivera, were notnominated.

Robert Preston’s Music Manperformance is now legendary, as is BarbaraCook’s. David Burns (winner) and IggieWolfington were nominted in the featuredcategory where leading man Kert probably

would have been “put”. Interestingly, Cook was never nominated

for any of her subsequent miraculousmusical-dramatic performances in The GayLife, She Loves Me and The Grass Harp,performances that are now consideredsupreme. Her “performances” on theoriginal cast recordings are so vivid you caneasily visualize her stage movements as youlisten to her sing. She did not begin togarner other Tony nominations and awardsuntil she switched careers from singing inbook musicals to her now world-renownconcertizing and one-woman shows. Andshe is still going strong today at age 83.

West Side Story lost in all categories, TheMusic Man won the awards in everycategory, including stagehands! And theother big shock - Jerome Robbins lost toMusic Man choreographer Onna White.

Why? Many theatre people thought thecritics, mostly curmudgeons at that time,and Tony voters could not accept fightingand killing in a musical. Remember, it was1957-58. Times have changed.

But there are valid reasons for Music Mansweeping the Tonys. It is upliftingAmericana and great fun, as opposed to thecompetition’s downers. And it has brilliantbook, lyrics and music by MeredithWillson. In a word - it is “perfect”.

See for yourself. Don’t miss the greatTony winner and perennial favorite, TheMusic Man, with a top drawer touringBroadway cast, at Lycian Centre in SugarLoaf on January 28 at 8:00pm.

Call 845-469-2287 for tickets. Leave your Trombone home.

Be Mine Also, Alliance Gallery’s thirdannual exhibition of photographs, poetry,and “poem objects” celebrating theuniversal theme of love, opens on Saturday,January 29 with an opening reception from2:00pm-4:00pm. The exhibit runs thruFebruary 19.
