St. John's Concert



As the Chancel Choir gets ready to leave for Spain, Tom Jaber leads the group at a concert at St. John's Presbyterian in Meyerland.

3 days and counting for Chapelwood's Chancel Choir trip to Spain. This afternoon the Choir held a preview concert at St. John's Presbyterian Church in Meyerland. The group went through its entire program which is quite varied. The Choir opens with a traditional Quaker hymn called How Can I keep from Singing?. The mood continues with Music Speaks and a piece partially in Latin, Si Vis Amari If you want to be loved, love. There are several soloists including Katherine Kyle, Ross Chitwood, Peter Johns, Carl Sandlin, Andrea Jaber, Bonnie Deaton, and Mark Swindler. Other highlights to the program are a series of pieces from the musical West Side Story, and an adaptation of St. Francis of Assisi's prayer Make me an Instrument of Thy Peace. The concert concludes with a piece from Mark Hayes, called One World.

The Chancel Choir leaves Chapelwood Church Wednesday at High Noon with their arrival in Barcelona, Thursday morning.
