It is not very often that you belong to a church that celebrates a birthday....a 175th birthday. Our church did just this today and it was a huge festive service complete with 3 commissioned pieces. Stu was asked to compose a piece in February that turned into a 5 movement piece that featured a string trio and choir. It was set in the style of Holst/Vaughn Williams and was done very well. It was a challenge for our choir because much of it was written using 9th, 11th, and 13th chords but it was very beautiful when it was finally learned and performed!
Here are some pictures from the weekend. Our sanctuary just got repainted and we are under a two million dollar renovation so I don't have many things to show.
This was a Saturday afternoon casual concert. Didn'twant to give you Baptists a heart attack!

LOVE the photos! Thanks for sharing, Dawg!
And the kids are growing so fast. Look at that Nathan--a whole head taller that Maddie! The hope of the family for height!!!
Call me sometime...
Apart from the "Caution: Wet Floor" sign (haha) that is really a great shot of the sanctuary! I hope Stan was happy with how we did on those pieces, I know I would have liked a little more work on each movement as a whole. ps. I have a blog now!
