Notes:
The Springfield College Singers were a mixed chorus that performed varied styles of music. Major performances included the holiday season and spring tour shows, and students could receive credit up to eight semester hours. Some of their numbers were choreographed for large show-choir format. According to an article in the college’s student newspaper, the 1971 Christmas Concert was performed on December 15, 1971 at Hope Congregational Church. Gilbert T. Vickers, the college’s director of music, led the group. Schubert’s “Mass in G” was the featured song of the night. A professional string quartet and organ accompanied the group. They also performed traditional Christmas selections by Bach, Praetorius, Healey Willan, Leontovich, and several Shaw-Parker Christmas carol arrangements. Admission was free. In addition to the Springfield College Singers, the performance included the talents of organist Leroy Hanson, who served as the organist in resident at Springfield College from 1958 to 1969.
