Happy mid-September! Now is a perfect time for learning more about what we do in the music ministry and how to be a part of it. New choir members, soloists, cantors, ringers, vocalists, and instrumentalists are all welcome, no professional music-reading skills required. Contact Hando to learn more: [email protected].
Here are a few words of encouragement by Fred Green: “When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia! How often, in making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia! So has the Church, in liturgy and song, in faith and love, through centuries of wrong, borne witness to the truth in every tongue: Alleluia! And did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!”
Mark your calendars for an evening of piano music at CLC on October 3rd at 7:00 pm. Our new Howard Cincinnati piano is ready for an inauguration concert. This recently renovated piano was donated to CLC several months ago by Mr. Mailandt, one of the residents of University Park. We are very grateful! It's a blessing that CLC now has a baby grand piano on the main floor. This piano is a real treasure! I'll be performing piano works by Bach/Busoni, Pärt, Liszt, Schumann, Sibelius, and Brahms.
Mark your calendars for the next Lutheran Hymn Festival, 'The Holy Trinity: Yesterday, Today, Forever,' which promises to provide a look at the Trinity in an inviting and comforting way through the singing of beloved hymns of the Church, old and new, prepared choral music, and narrative reflections. Join your church at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center for a celebration of choral and organ music in the Lutheran tradition on Sunday, October 19, at 4:30 p.m. We’ve purchased 20 seats and will add more if there is sufficient interest. Let us know if you are interested!
If your home or family needs a piano, our Henry F. Miller Spinet Piano is waiting for you! CLC has enough pianos, and we have decided to donate one of them. This piano is great for anyone who is taking piano lessons, wants an instrument for practicing, or just wants to own a real piano for music-making. Earning a widespread reputation for high quality, Henry F. Miller pianos were a leading brand preferred by many professional musicians in the late 1800s and early 20th century. The tedious design work done by both Miller and Gibson prior to beginning production led to incredibly well-made piano frames.
Many thanks to Brad Spellicy, Murray Smith, Carillon Ringers, Nancy Alton, Soren Dueholm, Harper Spellicy, Bjorn Blomquist, Betsy Lintel, and Maddy Blomquist for their beautiful musical offerings in August! And Sergio Peña for monitoring our livestream services, and Gary Haschke for sound engineering! God gets the Glory!
“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” (Johann Sebastian Bach)
