THE EFFECTIVE CHOIR DIRECTOR

Choral directors, also known as Choir or Music directors, often manage various aspects of the vocal, and

sometimes instrumental, performances of musical groups, such as choirs, other ensembles, etc.

Some of their tasks may include composing music, leading performances and performing administrative duties. Demonstrated ability and experience in choral music is generally required for this career.

Talented, dedicated and experienced singers are important to a good church choir. But without strong leadership, a choir is just a group of individuals doing their own thing instead of a cohesive assembly of well-blended voices who can lead a congregation in worship.

If you're ready to move your choir to a higher standard of performance, focus on your own skills, preparation and attitude.

All churches have designated sitting places for their choirs in the temple; but which part of the temple should be the best place for the choir in other to perform their role very effectively? This is the problem that was examined.

One possible cause is that some choir leaders don't find the meanings of song text (especially, in languages they don't understand) before teaching them.

THE ORIGINS OF THE FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS & CAROLS

INTRODUCTION: Almost every church in the world, today, organizes a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carol, aimed at celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ; this festival is held prior to Christmas. The festival was originally meant as a purely Christian liturgical worship (service); today other institutions, apart from the church, organize similar activities. It can be suggested that some of these institutions organize the activity just as one of their (ordinary) Christmas celebration activities, without considering the fact that it was originally a form of Christian liturgical worship (service); however, churches have still upheld this characteristic of the festival. The story of the fall of humanity , the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in the nine Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels. · First Lesson from Genesis 3: 8–15; 17–19 God tells sinful Adam that he has lost the ...
