Choir Presentations coming next. September 12th - There were ninety and nine September 19th - Help us, O Lord, to learn Just a few examples of some of the Choir's past Presentations:
******************************************* The Glory of Easter. 1/4/2007 (4.4MB) Cantata by John Peterson.
Christmas around the world. 16/12/2007 (5.8MB) Various carols from many countries, with readings.
*******************************************
No Greater Love. 19/4/2009 (5.9MB) Another Cantata by John Peterson.
******************************************* A brief history: For more than 100 years prior to the Uniting Church coming into being, both the Methodist and Presbyterian churches in High St. Frankston were blessed with choirs which assisted in the worship of God in Frankston. Prior to joining congregations, the two choirs had often combined for special occasions and special musical presentations under the oversight of Martin Hallett. Martin continued to lead the 'High St.' choir until Christmas 1997. In March of 1998, Max Crisp took over the reins which gives him some control over the choir, but not always. (we have fun at practice) The choir is like a small community within the larger church community. The members care for one another, look out for those with special needs, and encourage each other to sing well. Attendance at choir practices averages 18-20 people, mainly ladies, and we would like to invite anyone who enjoys singing in harmony (particularly men, especially TENORS) to come along on Thursday evenings from 7:30pm to 8:45pm and join in the fun, and then make a valuable contribution to worship on Sunday morning at 9:00am ******************************************* Max Crisp, HSUC Choirmaster.
