STREET RHYTHMS
30-05-2016

That moment when everybody knows you are a music (or choir/choral) guru; and you visit their church or choir or programme; and they give you scripts to sight-sing an unknown extended piece/anthem (to you) with

them; and they begin to thank God for your; and they depend on you as their Saviour for that piece.

One most important thing here is that even if you aren't 'seeing top' well, you end with them successfully... bamm

It may seem a little difficult, but I tell you, if you learn how to read scored-music , whether staff notation or tonic solfa, it will really help you. If you have the opportunity to learn how to read both the staff notation and tonic solfa too, it will really really help you.

Be encouraged to learn how to read music.

** I'm sure you've experienced 'THAT MOMENT' before; If you've not, then get prepare for it

THE RIGHT PLACE OF THE CHOIR

INTRODUCTION: Many Christians are well used to having a choir sing in their church services and today, the singing of a choir has been a fixture of the worship in many churches; this is understandable as choirs feature in the Bible’s own description of divine worship. Their singing complements the spoken word of God that is given by the clergy. The role of the clergy is widely known; what about the role of the church choir; and where can they be positioned in the church to play their role very well? 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.

MISMATCH OF MUSIC

STREET RHYTHMS 06-02-2017 *MISMATCH OF MUSIC* Many a times, choirs sing the 'nice music' at occasions and you (if you really understand music) will realize that the song, though nice, has nothing to relate to with the occasion. 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.

ROBING AND DISROBING IN PUBLIC

Most of our choirs use choir robes as their uniform for every divine or full service. These robes are either sewn in the American robe style (the academic gown/single gown style) or the British robe style (the cassock & surplice style). Some choristers are always found robing and disrobing outside the vestry; this practice is not good.

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 life of Paradise and that his seed will
