Chancel Choir

Now would be a good time for anybody who is interested in joining the Chancel Choir to come join us. You might ask: "What kind of music does your choir sing?" Our Music Director and Director of the Chancel Choir is Ginger Minneman. Ginger likes a wide range of music, and her anthem choices reflect this. Last Sunday, we sang True Light, arranged by Keith Hampton. The soloist was Jobe Jackson, a former student of Ginger's from when she taught at Stivers. Other pieces currently in our folders:
  • Blessed are the Men Who Fear Him from Elijah, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
  • Wondrous Love, Alice Parker & Robert Shaw
  • Blessed Be the Name of the Lord, Dale Grotenhuis
  • Song, Bob Chilcott
  • Kyrie, from Messe G-Dur, Franz Schubert
  • Walk with Me (An African Walking Song), Patrick M. Liebergen
  • Beati Quorum Via from Three Motets, Charles Villiers Stanford
  • Uvi caritas from Quartre Motets, Maurice DuruflĂ©

Next week, the Chancel Choir will also start reviewing Setting Five from Evangelical Lutheran Worship, so that we'll know the setting well before we first use on Sunday, February 25 (the first Sunday in Lent).

For information, contact Ginger Minneman at the church.
