Does anyone have anything relating to a interest session or lecture delivered by Moses Hogan on the history of the spiritual?  It was also about the techniques used by different generations of choral arrangers throughout the 20th century.  I cannot find this in his spiritual anthologies or online, but I used to have a typed […]

Could anyone direct me to the best rendition of the theme song for the Vicar of Dibley? (Psalm 21).  Thanks!  

I’m fortunate to work for a midsize congregation in a large city. We have somewhat balanced our books and we are embarking on a very large building project – taking our huge mammoth old building apart, keeping some of the good architectural bits, and shrinking our square footage by three-quarters.

Once the preserve of middle-aged women with fawn footwear and frowsy hair, choirs are suddenly “in”. Across London, bright young things are as likely to be found Facebooking each other about singing practice as parties, while choirs such as Gaggle, the Funk Chorus and Harmony on Heels gain followers.

I have been given the task of booking church performances for a college choir.  They have not performed outside the school for a number of years so there isn’t really isn’t a database to work with.  Does anyone have any suggestions or a form letter maybe that would be appropriate to send to churches regarding […]
