What happens when a group of choir enthusiasts gather to discuss their shared passion for choir music and worship? You get a lively discussion that explores hymns to modern day Gospel, and everything in between. Joined by Dorian Johnson, Mietta Stancil-Farrar, and Coleman Smart, we cover a lot of ground, starting with Dorian's Hymn of the Week and segue into Mietta's CRQ (Choir Room Question) sent in by a listener asking about our favored choir compositions and current playlists.Greg strikes up the keyboard on a song from Mietta's playlist and she is unable to restrain herself from singing. We shift our focus to the need for pushing creative boundaries in gospel music, the importance of vocal ability and stamina, the power of the "Hand-Clapper" choir piece "Psalm 68", and the beauty of embracing other cultures and styles. Plus, get ready for a trip down memory lane as Greg and Dorian share a little of their Easter-past memory of singing the "Power Praise" reprise.Lastly, we take a critical look at the current landscape of church choir music and discuss strategies for reintroducing anthems into church choirs. Greg weighs in on how we can bridge the gap between the traditional and the contemporary and incorporate the history and complexity of this music into our choirs. Stay tuned as we also discuss the trend of stems and underscore the importance of merging the old and the new, all while preserving the spiritual essence of choir music.#Richardsmallwood, #KurrCarr, #Bradleyknight, #billgaither, #mormontabernaclechoir, #brooklyntabernaclechoir, #tscmusicPerpetuating and Promoting the Christian and Positive Idea Through the Medium of Music and Other Arts.
