Choir Music
Thanks to Laura for her thoughtful and loving message to all of us. I, too, have felt that something important and valuable is missing from Wednesday evening and Sunday morning, now that we aren't getting together and singing together regularly.
The anthem Laura mentioned, "I Lift Up My Eyes,"is one of the pieces that Linda Orsted located on You Tube a month or two ago. I still have her email with the link so I will send it on to you; it includes "Glow," as well. I will also send along the links she provided for some of the pieces we were singing at Christmatime; I especially enjoyed, and felt moved by, listening again to the "Fourteen Angels" performance, with guitar. All of these works bring back good memories for me of our singing them.
I hope you are all staying well, and I look forward to the time when we can meet and make music, again.
Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely, Allan
P. S. Less important, but maybe a part of getting together, I have attached the latest from my brother-in-law. It is Wednesday evening, after all.

Fwd: A Note from Laura
25 March 2020
Dear Choir and Allan,
I miss you! Tonight will be the second missed rehearsal this spring, and I always enjoy accompanying the choir at rehearsals and on Sunday mornings at worship. It was comforting to view worship last Sunday. Rebecca, Stephanie and Erin did a great job leading worship along with Cader and the tech person.
As we navigate this unchartered period in our country, I wish you peace, comfort and hope. I couldn't help but think of the many beautiful anthems in our folders at church, but one seems especially fitting at this time - Jocelyn Hagen's I Lift Up My Eyes. I recorded it on our piano, but, alas, the file is quite large to send so I will note the words that many of you know by heart, I'm sure. Perhaps you will sing your part or at least hum the beautiful tune as you read:
I lift up my eyes to the hills; From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber; He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper. He is the shade upon your right hand; the shade upon your hand; the sun will not harm you nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will watch over your life: The Lord will guard your coming and going both now and forevermore. Amen _Psalm 121
Rosephanye Powell, one of the premier American composers of choral music said in a recent interview: "For me, the beauty of choral singing is that it brings together people from all walks of life, cultures, races, nationalities, etc., working toward a common goal: sharing their hearts, gifts and talents with the world. The skills developed and used in choral singing include creating community, self-expression, listening, working together, and singing as one voice." This is a great reminder of why we meet and sing together and why singing and music bring life and vitality to worship. God bless, and I hope we will be together soon.

Re: No Choir tomorrow, etc.
Dear Choir:
You've all undoubtedly received the email from Cader cancelling
in-church worship services and other activities for the next couple of
weeks. But just in case, here is a reconfirmation that the choir will
not be singing tomorrow nor next Sunday, nor will we have rehearsal this
coming Wednesday evening.
There will still be worship services both Sundays but they will be shown
online at the church's website. Further information is available in
Cader's email.
In summary, don't come to the church tomorrow; instead, let us worship
together in the comfort of our own homes.
