Tonight was the annual concert of the West Shore Choir and our bell choir at St. Joseph's Church in Hart. I've showed you a lot of pictures of the building in the past. It's beautiful! But I try not to share the same stuff over and over.
Om got a pretty good picture of us playing the bells.
Most of what the choir does is from the loft at the back. I'll just remind you that this church is a favorite of the directors because it has amazing acoustics. You can't really see anyone in this picture, but it gives you the sense of how it's staged.
The decorations are always beautiful.
Part of the choir (the portion that are students at West Shore Community College) did come down in front to sing Carol of the Bells a capella. They were spot on!
We played all four of our songs. (Between the church service on the 21st and Christmas Eve, I'll get them recorded.) The choir pieces ranged from popular Christmas songs to a portion from "The Messiah" with the Hallelujah Chorus.
Everyone got to sing three carols.
And, as usual, the church fed all the musicians afterwards. We stayed briefly.
I got some work done in the morning.

I bet everyone sounded amazing
ReplyDeleteAnn- we always sound amazing at that church!
DeleteI always love the bell choir at our church. I've attended seven churches as we've moved around, but never heard bells at any other church.
ReplyDeleteStew- several here disbanded, but then I know of a couple new, small ones as well.
