Orchestras & Choirs Serving in God's Love
In Feb-March of 2010 we were in Missouri visiting family and friends when
we had an opportunity to visit the Sing and Play His Praises Orchestra and
Choir.  This was a group we participated in regularly when our kids were
younger.  We proposed working on a joint project together for the purpose of
encouraging other Christian young people and families in other places.  
Though their schedule was a busy one their directors were enthusiastic and
we began preparations for the creation of 3 videos that would include the
performance of 2 hymns and a documentary.  We wanted hymn arrangements
that would not distort the original melody but yet would be exciting and
interesting to perform so Chris rapidly began work on the arrangements.  
Creating the original scores and then making continuous changes as the
student musicians practiced the music was a major challenge for everyone
but in the end the results were very satisfying.  A number of persons worked
very hard to see the original vision become a reality—including the
orchestra and choir members, their directors, and even an arranger/
conductor from Monterrey, Mexico who contributed portions of Be Thou My
Vision.  We want to encourage you to take the time to view all three of the
videos.  We hope you will be inspired as we were.
If you know of some young Christian musicians who are trying to grow in
their skills in a way that is honoring to God then we hope you find these
videos encouraging.  Know that it is possible, and that it can be done.
