The choir sounds wonderful. The repertoire is fantastic. Our guest conductor, theologian, and composer John Ferguson will be with us soon. This is shaping up to be a fantastic event. Everyone should reach out to everyone they know and tell them about this opportunity! tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2010-08-26:3505807 Linda Maisenhelder http://blog.onejoyfulchoir.org 2010-08-26T20:52:30Z 2010-08-26T20:52:30Z I realize some people really hate midi playing, but for those who can tolerate it, How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place is available, in parts, on <a href="http://<a href="http://www.cyberbass.com">www.cyberbass.com</a>"><a href="http://www.cyberbass.com">www.cyberbass.com</a></a> , (<a href="http://cyberbass.com/Major_Works/Brahms_J/brahms_requiem.htm">http://cyberbass.com/Major_Works/Brahms_J/brahms_requiem.htm</a> ) and maybe that would help some people, too. John Sall introduced our Oratorio Choir to this several years ago, and it has been helpful. Directions for that: <br /><br /> On <a href="http://<a href="http://www.cyberbass.com">www.cyberbass.com</a>"><a href="http://www.cyberbass.com">www.cyberbass.com</a></a>, go <br />to the list of Major Works, click on Brahms, then on the German Requiem, and then on Movement #4, Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, then on your part. Use the “radio controls” that pop up to play, pause, etc. It’s a midi file, so you don’t have to worry about following the German, but it will give you your actual part instead of everyone together. <br /><br />Joyful singing! tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2010-08-03:3389277 Spike Burns http://Onejoyfulchoir.com 2010-08-03T20:39:01Z 2010-08-03T20:39:01Z I am so excited that we are doing this again. The conducters are wonderful, patient, and I am absolutely amazed at how they handle the volume of voices.<br />The teaching ability of these people is <br />amazing, in that their technique really brings out in me an understanding of the<br />notes, character, and "roadmaps" of a given piece. I really like the music that we are singing for this concert. tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2007-12-22:723710 Thomas J. Cullen III 2007-12-23T02:08:24Z 2007-12-23T02:08:24Z Hey all.

I am on an OJC 'high', humming and singing the alto parts of the glorious music. What a thrilling and inspiring concert!!! What a perk to have a mini choral singing clinic with Anton. I applaud the dedicated fascilitators of this huge, unique undertaking. I feel so very blessed to have had the opportunity to sing praises to our God with this talented group of singers in the beautiful Verizon Hall...it is a memory that will stay with me forever. THANK YOU!! tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2007-11-12:652918 Marva Scotland 2007-11-12T11:46:00Z 2007-11-12T11:46:00Z Wonderful Pictures..<br /><br />What an awesome experience this was. I already feel a bit of nostalgia as we come to the end of an amazing adventure. Thanks for the privilege of praising God in such a joyful way! tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2007-10-03:574788 Loretta Hartnett 2007-10-04T03:55:03Z 2007-10-04T03:55:03Z The pictures are GREAT! The rehearsals are GREAT! The meetings have been GREAT!<br />We are almost there. What an experiance. tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2007-09-26:564088 Dave Sathra 2007-09-26T22:29:09Z 2007-09-26T22:29:09Z I have been amazed that at every rehearsal I've made a connection with someone new or someone who I "knew of" but had never had a chance to really meet. <br /><br />I'm from Warminster Pres. and I enjoyed seeing people from Doylestown Pres. at the Wayne rehearsal who I was hoping to see in July at the PAM conference in western PA. <br /><br />Warminster Pres. also hosted the Presbytery Mtg. in July and so I saw many people who were at the Abington rehearsal as well as the Presbytery mtg.<br /> <br />At the Bryn Mawr rehearsal I ended up sitting next to someone who used to be my pharmacist and we had a great time singing next to each other and planning to meet between rehearsals. I was also surprised and pleased to see Tim Evers working as Jeff's assistant at Wayne. (Tim was previously at St. Paul's Lutheran in Doylestown and I didn't know he had relocated.)<br /><br />Finally, at the first COM rehearsal, I ran into someone who I had gone to school with at Temple University. We introduced ourselves and he recognized my last name and my memory "clicked" and I knew who he was. We had a brief talk about our college years and what a great time it was. I also got to sit next to a couple of basses from Wayne Pres. who had lots of comments about Jeff (all good).<br /><br />I wonder what connection I'll make at the next rehearsal? I know I wouldn't miss it for anything.<br /><br />Dave Sathra, Warminster Pres. tag:blog.onejoyfulchoir.org,2007-08-29:500971 Marcia Humer http://www.syntrinity.org 2007-08-29T20:16:34Z 2007-08-29T20:16:34Z WOW!!!
