Learn to create music in 4-part harmony. Improve your singing voice. Join for the music. Stay for the fraternity.
On a sunny autumn day at the Monmouth County Park System's Historic Longstreet Farm in Holmdel Park, the public was treated to exhibits of 1890 farm life. Woodworked tools, lumbering, blacksmithing, caning and needlework were all elements of everyday life 130 years ago. So, too, was the homespun music and harmonies that flowed from the family parlor at the end of a long day or during leisure moments.

The men of the Chorus of the Atlantic, under the direction of Craig J. Page, performed two sets for the public event on Sunday, September 26, 2021. The flow of the crowd slowed and congealed around the front of the farmhouse where the chorus was performing. They listened intently as the chorus sang some of our favorites like: our patriotic package, The Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless America (with intro), a few popular tunes Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Edelweiss, Hello, Mary Lou, Good Old Days, Sentimental Journey, Irish Blessing, Shenandoah, and Take Me Home, Country Roads (under the direction Assistant Director Andy Ferreira) and several barberpole cats (barbershop standards) that gave a flavor of the music at turn of the 20th Century.
Associate Director Kirk Thomson led a demonstration of four-part harmony. The audience heard the Leads, Basses, Tenors and Baritones, in turn, and then the blended sound of the men singing, My Wild Irish Rose.
“A Quartet To Be Named Later”, was featured during each show. Terry Schmalzreid, Kirk Thomson, Allan Dean and Bruce Hanson sang: In My Room, Down By The Old Mill Stream, and Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie.
