The Choir Room Podcast

Metromusic & Arts has exciting things planned, and a forthcoming Choir Room theme song contest.
David and Elizabeth Norfrey come back once more to share the fascinating parallels between handbell choirs and vocal choirs, underlining the importance of each choir member for a harmonious performance.
Then, join an intriguing discussion on how the infusion of pop music lyrics can affect the integrity of sacred gospel music. We're turning the spotlight on these challenging questions, fueled by personal experiences and reflections. We'll also dissect the implications of changing the lyrics to popular secular music and infusing it into our worship services, and how the thirst for relevance can sometimes cast a shadow over the gospel itself.
Brace yourself for an enlightening conversation as we discuss the importance of balance in gospel presentation, ensuring the gospel's message is not overshadowed by the messenger. From exploring the concept of the body of Christ in connection with choir experience to delving into how the messenger can eclipse the message, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in, and let's hit the high notes together!
