[HSChorus] HSC Performance History Display 19-May-2007 14:45:59

I have been messing around with an application written by a grad student at MIT that provides a simple (sort of) way to store and display a small database in a flexible way. I have used it at
http://www.rtcutler.com/chorus.htm to display the performances of the HSC since I joined in 1989. (You may have to click through some warnings that it is trying to put active stuff into your browser). There's quite a bit you can do with this display:

- On the right side, click on one or more composers and/or conductors to see only those performances. Ditto for my (personal) ratings and whether I sang in it. Once you have done that you can restore "All" by clicking on the number above the selection box.

- Click on all the entries in the "Sorted by:" list near the top and in each case select "Remove this order". Then uncheck "Group as sorted". This will give you an overall chronological display rather than the sorted one that is the default.

Note that my ratings are mine alone -- you probably don't agree with many of them. If at some point I adapt this to be used by the HSC as a resource I'll erase that and the thing that says whether I sang in it.

Note also that I believe this list to be substantially more accurate than the one at
http://www.choral.org/grou/hsc/hist/chd5d_hsc_partial_perf_history.html (because
I took most of the information from actual programs in my file), but there may still be errors or omissions. I am particularly confused in my memory about the concerts that were not at Jones Hall, partly because I tended not to keep those programs (if I ever had them). Most particularly the concerts at U of H. I have a feeling I've got something wrong there.

- Oh yeah -- I also put whatever I felt like in the notes. I made no attempt to list all the soloists, but I did note a few who have sung with us particularly often or who seem to have some special relationship to the HSC. Again, this is not consistent.

- Click on Timeline near the top of the page to get a ... timeline.
