As our choir saw itself gradually reduced to a trio, Bob Shauris, our talented organist/director, tackled the time-consuming chore of rewriting some of our sheet music, reducing the four-part harmonies to soprano and alto only. For this reason, we decided that our choir will remain an all-female choir, at least for the immediate future.
We are desperately seeking both soprano and alto voices. Although knowing how to read music would be helpful, it is not required and certainly not essential to the joy of singing. There is no audition process, but you must, however, be able to stay on key and carry a tune. Rehearsal is Wednesday evenings from 5-7 pm (a lot of fun and not the least bit scary!) If 5pm is too early, we can always negotiate a time suitable for the majority. We rehearse again on Sunday at 9am for a quick brush-up of that morning’s pieces.
The church and the choir are asking for your help. Won’t you please think seriously about joining us? And as you do, consider also the words of Thomas Carlyle, Scottish philosopher: “Music is well said to be the speech of angels”.
