NSUC MUSIC, VEM KAN SEGLA?

Music Sunday at the North Shore Unitarian Church, Deerfield, Illinois ... A gentle and touching piece sung by the choir, under the direction of Wayland Rogers, Musical Director ... "VEM KAN SEGLA", Swedish Folk song arranged by Wayland Rogers, Gregg Rodriguez-Baritone.

"VEM KAN SEGLA" (Who Can Sail?) is one of Sweden's favorite folk songs. Its touching sentiment of bidding farewell to a friend is a fitting benediction to this, our "Music Sunday" offerings.

"Who can sail without a wind? Who can row a boat without oars? Who can bid farewell to a friend without shedding tears? I can sail with a wind. I can row without oars. But I cannot say farewell to a friend without shedding tears."

The NORTH SHORE UNITARIAN CHURCH CHOIR, Wayland Rogers-Director.

The theme of Music Sunday is:
ONE WORLD, MANY VOICES

Wayland writes the introduction as follows:
One of the most important ways of understanding a culture different form our own is to sing and play its songs, read and hear its poetry, learn to speak its language and dance to its rhythms. We hope that today's service devoted to music and poetry from around the globe does its part in helping to transcend the boundaries of language and culture to bring us to a deeper understanding of "other". Our celebration of diversity begins with two pieces from the African tradition. PROCESSION FOR PEACE is the first.
