1992 Miracle Yearbook

The Vienna Choir Boys...In Cedarville? The busfinally pulled in atour destination -- a small college in Ohio on the edge of a cornfield. After stepping off the bus and stretching our legs, we went into the chapel and began to loosen up our voices for this evening's concert. Being amemberofthe ViennaChoirBoyshastaken us all over the world.It is quite an honor. Our history goes back almost 500 years to the time of Emperor Maximilian I and his decree "to have chorasters in the ImperialChapel."Tobecomeapartofthechoir,wehad to attend a special preparatory school where we not only studied voice but also specialized on an instru- ment. Tonight's concert boasted a wide variety of music. We began with some classical favorites from Mozart, Purcell, and Heiller. Then,after a short intermission, weperformed Mozart'soperetta,"TheCaliph'sGoose," complete with props and elaborate costumes.But,our favorite part ofthe concert was the Christmas section, in which we sang some familiar carols,such as"Deck the Halls," as well as some more unfamiliar tunes. At the conclusion of our concert, we received an applausecomparabletothose wereceiveinEurope.We hope to return to Cedarville soon. •Mindy Boone Vienna Choir Boys Fine Arts
