Once again this year I had the privilege to sing in the Living Christmas Tree at FBC Montgomery. I think this was my 5th time to sing, maybe 6th. I sang back in the mid-1980's in the old sanctuary before they went to the 3 trees. I love singing with a choir, but my responsibilities to be in other churches on Sundays prevents my singing regularly in this great choir. I always love who I can see during the tree. Ray Smith, who teaches music at Troy and is a Rotary friend, played in the orchestra again this year. One surprise came on Sunday night at the final performance when I discovered the harpist was the daughter of a seminary classmate and colleague I served with years back here in Montgomery.
I say without bias that this year's choir was one of the very best. I can't wait to see it on Frazer television or on the DVD.
My choir director growing up, Dr. Eugene Brasher, always said you could tell a choir was good if they could sing softly. Listen to "Of The Father's Love Begotten" and see what you think, or the ladies entrances on "Agnus Dei" or "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear."
Check out the spiritual "Some Children See Him" by Michelle Lott and young Jay Spivey.
And, check out the three tenors in "O Holy Night!"
A blessing indeed!!!!
