  • "The Blue Ridge" by Elaine Hagenberg
    www.elainehagen...
    Poem by Harriet Monroe
    Inspired by a quiet evening in the Blue Ridge Mountains
    Photos by Elaine Hagenberg
    Conducted by Dr. Ryan Beeken
    "Still and calm
    In purple robes of kings,
    The low-lying mountains sleep at the edge of the world.
    The forests cover them like mantles;
    Day and night
    Rise and fall over them like the wash of waves.
    Asleep they reign.
    Silent they say all.
    Hush me, O slumbering mountains-
    Send me dreams."
    -Harriet Monroe

    Just did this piece for PMEA 12 District Choir. It has quickly become my favorite piece to perform. Thank you for composing this!

    This was the last song my high school choir got to perform before the pandemic. Now my senior year is over, and listening back to this it’s making me emotional. Thinking to all the people I’ve met over the years, and how I’m going on to the next chapter of my life to become a music teacher myself. Thank you for this wonderful piece of music.

    I’ve just done this this past PMEA district 2-5 chorus concert at Seneca as a Bass 1. One of the most expressive and imaginative songs I’ve ever had the privilege to be apart of! Dr. Beeken was amazing and such a nice man to conduct for us.

    I’m in this recording! My freshman year at iup as a bass 2. It warms my heart to hear us under direction of Ryan Beeken. Oh how I miss him.

    After 2 years of not hearing this song, I looked at my old programs from PMEA in Region 3 and I saw this song. Immediately, all the words and bass 1 part came flooding in and I sang it out for no reason. This song is the reason I started to compose again. Dr. Beeken is a wonder when conducting this song and I was so glad to remember my final PMEA concert ever with this song.

    Doing this song for my winter concert, and its genuinely just so beautiful. I showed it to a friend that recently went through a traumatic life change because he wanted to see what we were working on for chorus, and he broke down next to me and was able to open up a bit. Even though it wont be able to help him in the long run, its music like this that helps cope with emotions in a healthier way. The power that pieces like this evoke from us emotionally is why I sing and why I love music so much.
