Camelback Bible Church Visits Poland

June 12, 2010 by Thomas Bookhout Leave a Comment

I am pleased to report that the Camelback Bible Church Sanctuary Choir (Paradise Valley-Phoenix, Arizona) has just returned from a very successful and unique concert tour/missions trip to Poland, May 27-June 7. The invitation for the trip came from the Promnitz family of America, who recently discovered that they are descended from a royal family of southwestern Poland that was previously thought lost. Through their newly revealed connections with palaces, towns, mansions and cathedrals, they arranged a very specialized concert tour through Poland, often in locations in which protestant choirs have never been welcome before. The Camelback Choir was in a parallel and often intersecting, but separate tour with the Valley Christian High School Chorale of Phoenix.

 

The Sanctuary Choir sang during Masses and/or in concerts in Zary (the Military Church in the Old Market, and outdoors during the 750 year celebration of Zary), Wroclaw (at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist), Poznan (at St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Komorniki), and Gniezno (at the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert in the Old Market). The Choir also visited Berlin and Pszczyna, and took a very sobering trip to Auschwitz in Oswiecim.

 

The Sanctuary Choir was pleased to premiere in Poland a brand new composition by the 2010 Raymond W. Brock Memorial Student Composition Competition winner Derek Myler. His beautiful setting of the Lord’s Prayer in Polish, Ojcze Nasz (pron. Oychay Nahsh), was first performed at the Military Church in Zary, and subsequently in every concert of the tour. The audiences were deeply moved by this new composition in their language, and were visibly grateful for the effort given by the choir to learn the Polish language and to debut this new piece for them. Each performance of this piece was met with loud and extended applause. We can highly recommend this new piece, and I will be pleased to help you with the Polish language when it is published and your choir performs the piece.

We thank God for His protection of the Choir during their long miles of travel, and for the opportunity to sing His praises in the great country of Poland.

New Place To Share Repertoire/Vidoes

June 7, 2010 by Jack Senzig Leave a Comment

 I have spent a lot of time on YouTube and other sites trying to see what else is out there and I have gotten tired of the search.  So I have started a new “Choir Director’s Brag Blog” for you to put the links to your best work on.  I will embed the videos on the blog based on the category they are in.  Google hasn’t found it yet so here is the address http://choirbragblog.wordpress.com Let’s share and learn from each other! Be sure to read the “About” page on the site.

Choral CHARISMA Website Fixed

June 6, 2010 by Tom Carter Leave a Comment

If any of you tried to access my various pages unsuccessfully, I’ve included links on the bottom of the homepage as a work-around.
 
I’ve also updated the website to further address issues relating to Amelia Nagoski’s Choral Journal article — and my subsequent letter to the editor (in the 2101 June/July issue). Included among the issues addressed is an expanded look at the director’s responsibilities vis a vis creating unified expression (“Director’s Face”), and a more detailed section on how the sound actually improves when using the progressive rather than the traditional approach (“Why not sing better?” on the “Philosophy & Feedback” page).
 
In addition, I’ve included the further correspondence between myself and Editorial Associate David Blocker.
 
All my best,
 
Tom
