| 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. |
