Singing God’s Praises – Choral Ensemble
Join our choral ensemble for rehearsals after Sunday worship in the sanctuary. Our performance schedule varies, but generally sings twice during the month. Consider joining the choir if an oasis of laughter, hard work and song might be a welcome addition to your week. Contact Nora Thomason at [email protected].
This summer, the choir will be singing some simpler pieces with just one prior rehearsal. Here is the schedule:
| Practice the week before (11:10 – 12:10) | Sing in church AND warm up before service (9:10 warm up time) | What are we singing? | A YouTube link to listen to the music |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 9 | June 16 | Order My Steps (SATB) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqV4tPPuQqg The repeats are a little weird with this one. Please review them before practice so you don’t get lost. 😊 |
| July 28 | August 4 | How Can I Keep From Singing (SAB) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iatt_0tZYeE There are some counting surprises. |
| September 1 | September 8 | Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone (SAB) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjisCFVM0lA When you listen to this one, pay attention to how it goes back and forth between the two songs. We might go a bit faster than this recording. |
If you were thinking of joining the choir, but weren’t sure if you were ready, this summer plan might be just for you! We hope to see you up in the choir loft. Questions? Contact Nora.
