Choir To
Perform
Guilford College's annual
"Christmas Offering," a
celebration in song of the
spirit and meaning of
Christmas, will be presented
at 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7, in
candlelit Dana Auditorium.
The public is invited free of
charge.
The Christmas gift of music
will be opened by the Honors
Brass Quintent from
UNC-Greensboro, coached by
Jack Maserie. After a
candlelight processional, the
Guilford College Choir con
ducted by Ed Lowe will sing
several well-known Yule
songs.
Following a short intermis
sion, the choir and the
Community Chorus will com
bine their 125 voices to
perform excerpts from Han
del's "Messiah," including
portions from the Easter
section.
Joining the combined choir
and chorus will be guest
soloists-soprano Marilyn Bur
ris, bass Charles Lynam,
mezzo-soprano Anne Wood
ward and organist David
Pinnix, all of Greensboro, and
tenor Jim Croom of Chapel
Hill.
"We want this to be a
festive evening," Lowe said.
"In these troubled times when
people feel so burdened, we
want to offer them a joyous
occasion, one in which they
can feel a jubilation, a
spiritual uplift."

Ed Lowe, Director of the choir
This issue is the second in
the history of Guilford College
and the Guilfordian that
exceeds the normal eight
pages! This has partially been
made possible by your
contributions-thank you stu
dents, faculty and other
members of the Guilford
College Community! The first
such twelve page paper was
printed on March 25th, 1975.
Lowe resists terming the
Guilford College Choir portion
of the 90-minute program
"old-fashioned," but he
believes the audience will be
pleased by his selections.
"I felt the need for a
program of Yuletide music
consisting of some of the
favorite melodies which have
been absent from the
repertoire of Christmas con
certs for some time," he
explained.
"Many songs included on
programs of recent years seem
to be more rhythmically
oriented than melodically
oriented, and we are going
back to what might be
described as 'old favorites,' "
he said.
Lowe gave us examples:
"Lo, How A Rose," "I
Wonder As I Wander, "
"Cantique de Noel" and "The
Kings." He also announced
that the choir will sing "A
Christmas Lullaby," written
by a Guilford College
Community couple, Lucille
and Henry Cobb.
Student soloists will be
Jeanne Towe of Round Hill,
Va., Lafk Welborn of
Yadkinville and David Ha
worth of High Point.
Organist David Pinnix has
been twice honored recently,
having been selected to be
guest soloist with the
Greensboro Symphony in its
March 8 concert and elected
chairman of the Piano
Teachers Section of the North
Carolina Music Teachers
Association.
Now teaching at Greensboro
and Bennett Colleges as well
as privately, Pinnix received
his master's and doctorate
degrees from the Eastman
School of Music and studied in
Salzburg, Austria, and in
Rome as a Fulbright Scholar.
Marilyn Burris, who has
been presented in recitals and
concerts throughout the na
tion, most recently was seen
on ihe Dana stage in
"Praise!" She created the
leading role of Rebecca in the
Bicentennial musical written
and directed by Dean
Regenos.

Club Meeting
The December Sierra Club
meeting is going to feature a
used outings-equipment sale.
This sale should provide a
good opportunity for many
students to get rid of
equipment which they no
longer have any use for...
whether it's because they're
trading-up or raising money
for Christmas...or whatever!
It should also allow many
students to obtain some of the
items they need to fill out their
own equipment list...and at
considerable savings over new
equipment. The Sierra Club
meetings are all held in the
Moon Room of the Dana
Auditorium Building, at 7:30
p.m., on the second Monday
of each month. That means
December Bth in this case.
