WHITNEY MORSE on
The Sharon L. Morse ®
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Dear Patron of the Arts
,
Welcome to The Sharon® L. Morse Performing Arts Center! We are so grateful to re-open our doors after such a trying season. We invite you back to view the national and international performing art tours we host here for your entertainment. Much like the building’s namesake, my grandmother, Sharon L. Morse, we love all varieties of the performing arts here. It is in her memory that I, along with my amazing team of artists and arts administrators, strive to bring many different types of the highest quality entertainment here to The Sharon. Since opening in 2015, we hope we have established a relationship of trust; that any show at The Sharon will be a show worth seeing. Perhaps you find yourself here today to see a concert of one of your favorite musicians, or to take in the national tour of a Broadway show. Either way, we encourage you to consider trying out a new show that perhaps you haven’t heard of before, knowing that it has been intentionally curated by our team. We welcome you to The Sharon: a place for you to see an old favorite, but also a place to discover your new favorite. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show today, and I look forward to seeing you here again soon!
Whitney Morse
See You at The Sharon,
Artistic Director

PROGRAM World Premiere of When Love Is Dead................................. Julie Sanchez (b. 2005) text by Alexander L. Posey (1873-1908) Who last shall kiss the lips of love, when love is dead? Who last shall fold her hands and pillow soft her head? Who last shall vigil keep beside her lonely bier? I ask, and from the dark, cold height without, I hear The mystic answer: "I, her mother, Earth, shall press Her lips the last, in my infinite tenderness." Music, When Soft Voices Die................................................. Eric Nelson (b.1959) Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
Locus Iste.................................................................. Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) Locus iste a Deo factus est, Inaestimabile sacramentum. Irreprehensibilis est.
This place was made by God, An inestimable sacrament. It is without flaw.
Daemon Irrepit Callidus.................................................... Gyorgy Orban (b.1947) Daemon irrepit callidus, Allicit cor honoribus. Daemon ponit fraudes, inter laudes, cantus, slatus. Quidquid amabile Daemon dat Cor Jesu minus aestimat.
The Demon sneaks expertly Tempting the honorable heart: He sets forth trickery amidst praise, song and dance. However amiably the Demon acts, It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
The Flesh is tempted by sensuality;Gluttony clings to our senses; Caro venatur sensibus; It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches. Sensus adhaeret dapibus; Inescatur, However appealing the Flesh is, impinguatur, dilatatur. Quidquid amabile It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus. caro dat Cor Jesu minus aestimat. Though the Universe may confer Thousands upon thousands of praises, Ad de mundorum They neither fulfill nor put out the desire Milia, mille, millena guadia; of the heart. Cordis aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt, Quidquid amabile totum dat However appealing the whole Universe is, Cor Jesu minus aestimat. It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
