*THE 'MOVEMENTS' IN PERFORMANCES*

There are some "little foxes" that interfere our performances.
While some create noise, others create distraction (draws the attention of many, from the main performance).

Some of these foxes are :

1. Walking into/ out of the stalls while the choir is singing.
If there is the need to walk out, please let the performance end. When you are standing outside and you hear the choir singing, wait till the end before you walk in.

2. After your procession, wait till the introit or opening hymn is sung before you look for your bag/bible or you rearrange yourselves.

3. Ensure that ushers don't share letters, envelopes, or anything to choristers when the choir is singing.

4. Don't be late at concerts; and don't walk to the stage while the choir is performing.

5. Don't create scenes on the stage when correcting a colleague.

NB: performance is not only done during big concerts. Anytime you are singing is a performance.

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.

KALYPPO

STREET RHYTHMS 07-10-2016 *KALYPPO* In the streets of Ghana today, politicians are talking about *kalyppo*. *Kalyppo* a brand name of a fruit juice that contains no preservatives. It is pasteurized and packed in aseptic, disposable/environment friendly packing, under strict controlled conditions as certified by HACCP. This ensures that *Kalyppo* juices reach you in near natural condition. HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points; and it is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe, and designs measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. As music lovers, it may interest us to know that  *Kalyppo* and the other fruit juices contain vitamins and other nutrients that are good for our vocal health. However, a lot of these fruit juices are chemicalized and turn to make the juices irritants. They irritate our throats whenever we ...

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.
