NEED A FEW GOOD SONGS FOR YOUR CHOIR?
Church Services can extend your choral library !!!
Every director is faced, at some time, with a
dilemma. What anthem or special music will fit with the theme of
the service that hasn't been done recently? Can I afford to
purchase a new anthem, knowing the extremely high cost of the new
music? We need special music for the Easter or Christmas program
which will touch the right chord, music which will be needed only
once. What is available? One obvious solution would be to obtain a
piece and copy it, knowing that act is illegal. I may not get
caught, but what about my conscience and the breach of honesty I
present?
The MUSIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM presented at
the 2002 NACCC convention in Spokane is one sure way to
augment the music available to a choir director. The simple
procedure of listing the music in your own library (using the
format available through Ruth Mahnke at the NA Office) and sending
the lists to her will start the process. You will receive the
music lists from the other churches participating in the program
and can select new anthems to use without the expenditure. The
only cost will be the UPS charges to forward and return the music
after use.
Music of all levels will be available, from
The Rutter Gloria and The Mozart Requiem, to simple
compositions for youth as The Good, Good Book by Joan
Hines. Augmenting your library will stimulate your choir, present
new music to the congregation, and assist your sister churches.
Please contact me at ED-GayMillar@juno.com or Ruth Mahnke at the
NA office for further details. |
