Nove Voci performed at LHS’s Holiday Chorus and Orchestra performance, December 20. The nine singers that make up this choir are not new to the stage, and shared their music with Lancer Nation after spending weeks preparing new material. Each week, hours are spent preparing to showcase this group.
The Nove Voci singers opened the concert with “Locus Iste” followed by a rendition of “Deck the Halls” leaving the audience speechless as they segwayed into LHS’s Chamber Choir’s performances.
The music department spends countless hours preparing for upcoming concerts and Nove Voci is included in this, demonstrating their work ethic.
“Weekly rehearsals mostly involve working on wonderful choral selections with a bunch of my friends,” Cain said. “I do strive for great sounds, but it’s mostly about the fun we have as a group and how we can better ourselves from it.”
Towards the end of last year, senior Joey Cain made a goal of pursuing a senior project for people who have as strong of an interest in studying music as Cain.
“I have a great connection to music in my personal life through family,” Cain said. “Music has created an environment for me where I feel I am truly expressing myself.”
Cain comes from a large background of music, especially from his two older brothers. His love for music is so strong that he wants to share it with other students.
“I was looking for something more for me in the music department,” Cain said. “Sharing music is a big part of my life, but it is mostly about the people you can share the experiences with.”
Although Nove Voci may be new to Lancer Nation, their love for music is not. They spent the holiday seasons preparing for numerous holiday events, such as singing at the Presbyterian Church in Londonderry during the tree lighting.
“The performances we have done so far have gone much better than what I imagined,” Cain said. “ I have all my choir members to thank for my successes.”
Cain has many more plans for future concerts and hopes to have many more successful turnouts.
“ In the future, I hope to plan out my practices and space out the music better so that it feels less overwhelming,” Cain said, “But more achievable.”
