Music Notes – May 13, 2018
This week the Choristers and Singers will be participating in worship, singing three different anthems. The two choirs will combine for “Wade in the Water,” in an arrangement by Bruce Trinkley. This is a traditional African-American spiritual whose words have a dual meaning — on the one hand, they refer to the practice of baptism, but also served as advice to runaway slaves that they should use water to throw bloodhounds off their scent. The “Moses” referred to in the song could mean both the Biblical figure and Harriet Tubman, who led many slaves to freedom. The Choristers will also sing “Spirit Boundless,” by Betty Ann Ramseth, which incorporates the 17th-century German chorale, “Werde Munter.” The final anthem is “When You Pass Through the Waters,” a setting by Paul Weber of Isaiah 43:1-3.
Women’s retreat 2018
Exploring the theme of “Through a Glass, Darkly”, 21 women spent a weekend of wonder, laughter and sharing exploring I Corinthians 8-13 at Graves Mountain Lodge in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They worshiped, shared stories, broke bread, and served each other communion.
