The internet, and the plethora of access it provides, is influencing young people's engagement with music, specifically with choir and corporate singing. Find out how you can contribute your thoughts on the evolution of choir music and the seeming disinterest among today's church generation. We also delve into the pressing issue of an apparent lack of new and innovative music specifically for choirs. The round-up of this segment is highlighted by our hymn of the week, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, a timeless piece by Martin Luther.
Join us as we unravel this conundrum in an engaging conversation with a globally renowned modern hymn writer. Keith Getty's songs have traversed continents and continue to inspire choirs and congregations worldwide. We're undeniably excited to share Keith Getty's journey into music with you, a narrative punctuated by profound insights into hymn writing and the importance of creating great hymns for the church.
The power of singing - it's truly transformative, both as a spiritual tool and an expression of community. We share experiences from our times in Times Square NYC and at the Sing an Irish Christmas concert at Carnegie Hall, moments that underscored the beauty and power of communal singing.
Our discussion traverses different musical styles and how they uniquely influence choir sound. We emphasize singing's role in scripture, the impact of the internet on choir communities, and of course, the importance of congregational singing. So plug in, share your experiences, and let's collectively rediscover the wonder and joy of singing together.
