Our Chamber choir is studying three choral pieces from Polynesia — the Hawaiian song “Aloha Oe”, the Samoan song “Minoi, Minoi,” and a Maori setting of Ave Maria titled “Ka Waiata ki a Maria.”Dr. Leese coached the singers through the pronunciation of “Minoi, Minoi,” demonstrated traditional Samoan dance moves like the “siva,” and taught students an arrangement of “Ka Waiata Ki a Maria” combining oral and written traditions. He shared important background and historical context for these pieces and included some of his own personal experiences growing up in New Zealand and attending schools with many Maori and Samoan people. Dr. Matthew W. Leese is a conductor, baritone, stage director and educator based in Keene, New Hampshire. Leese received his Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Otago, Graduate Diploma in Historical Performance from the Longy School of Music, Masters in Early Music from Indiana University and Doctorate in Choral Conducting and Literature from the University of Illinois. Recent noted projects have included directing and conducting Hans Krasa’s ‘Brundibar’ for the Redfern Arts Center Voices of Terezin series, Benjamin Britten’s ‘The Little Sweep’ with Keene State Opera and the Colonial Theatre, Voices of the Bay in New Brunswick, period performances of Bach’s ‘Johannespassion’ with Monadnock Chorus, and designing a Ewing Arts Award-winning season with the Chamber Singers of Keene. Additional regular conducting responsibilities include directing the Keene State College Vocal Consort and Concert Choir, the St Andrews Spring Sing in New Brunswick, and serving as artist in residence with the Boston City Singers.[post_title] => Keene State Professor Rehearses Samoan, Maori Songs [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => keene-state-professor-rehearses-polynesian-songs [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2018-03-07 16:48:01 [post_modified_gmt] => 2018-03-07 21:48:01 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://cvhs.convalsd.net/?p=8525 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) [9] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 8502 [post_author] => 9 [post_date] => 2018-02-21 16:31:58 [post_date_gmt] => 2018-02-21 21:31:58 [post_content] => Students in Mr. Levesque's Digital Photo I class recently had the opportunity to learn about blogging and to practice online communication skills. The blended learning assignment combined the use of pages and web posts in Blogger. The assignment consisted of several integrated parts: an artist statement, a photo share page which presents historical photographs from different eras — from Daguerreotypes to modern digital photos —, together with picture descriptions, information about the photographer, as well as brief analyses of the photos and their meaning to the students. The third component integrated student-created photos in blog posts, with reflections on the pictures by the students. The presentation of the blogs to the members of the class served as an important formative assessment at the midpoint. Students explained as well as contextualized their work and received feedback on their subject matter choices and online communication skills. Throughout the assignment, students received assistance from Technology Integration Specialist Helfried Zrzavy. He reviewed with the class some of the technical aspects that they would encounter, such as the aspect ratio and size of web-optimized images, as well as the purpose of browser cache files and cookies. Since the blogs are viewable internationally, it was important to quickly review European Union (EU) laws require that Europe-based visitors be given information about cookies that are used on the blog. Special attention was also paid to proper source citations, especially in light of the recently changed Google Image search procedure.
