Whew, it’s been a long time since I last posted here. Before this month ends, I should at least make one post for May.

This Sunday May 31, we, the DBC Chancel Choir, will be having a repeat performance of our Easter musical which we performed last April 12. Some told me they didn’t know about last month’s presentation, so now will be a good time to watch for those who missed it.

The musical is entitled AD: A Muscial for Easter and Beyond (created by Deborah Craig-Claar and Robert Sterling) We will be singing all the 8 songs/medleys PLUS 3 more since this repeat is for the church anniversary. If you want a preview, below is an excerpt from last April. The first time I heard the recording, I was surprised we sounded like, well, a real choir. Haha!

Hossana! with O Sacred Heart and Let it Rain!

Last April's Invitation

We are now busy rehearsing since it’s only 4 days away. I myself am struggling reaching the really high notes in the new songs. This is my first time to encounter G4s! Last time I thought F4 was already way above my vocal range. Surprisingly, I managed to do it quite well during the actual performance.

Wow!

Well, this is all by God’s grace. I never even thought I could sing. How much more sing as a tenor? I think my participation in this concert is a subtle miracle in itself.

Okay, so mark it! May 31, 2009, 5PM, at the Doane Baptist Church Hall. Here is a map in case you have no idea where that is.

Again, this invitation is also extended to non-Christians and even aetheists. You can come just for the entertainnment. It’s free admission anyway. See you there!

If you will be in Iloilo City this coming Easter Sunday, April 12, let me invite you to our Easter Musical.

It will be about an hour of music with our choir singing eight pieces (42 pages of notes!) composed of various songs that revolve around the passion, the death, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the challenge that Christians must face.

This invitation is also extended to non-Christians and even aetheists. You can come just for the entertainnment. It’s free admission anyway. See you there at 5PM!

One by One

After two months of practice, we finally went onstage to challenge the congregation. It was the Missions Musicale and we were the Missions Choir.

It was last August when we started our practices. Althea was invited me to join the choir and while I was in the process of explaining “I don’t sing” and “I’m not sure if I have the time,” she has already introduced me to ten choir members including the conductor. Before I knew it, I was standing right beside the grand piano learning the notes of Go Forth and Tell! With that song, I knew I had to attend the next practice. Read the rest of this entry »

October is Mission Month and my singing career is alive once again! Haha!

Since I think I’m not ready to be a missionary yet and personally reach out to all the needy souls outside of my own country, I’ve agreed to join the Missions Musicale. With that, I am inviting anyone who reads this to attend the evening service at Doane Baptist Church on October 26, 2008 at 5:30 PM.

This isn’t the first time I’m singing in a choir. Ive sang in the same church — about 10 years ago! I never thought I’d ever sing again, but when I was presented with the first song they (we!) were going to learn, I felt like I had to do what I thought I couldn’t do. Here’s a teaser – Go Forth and Tell!

Thank you Althea for invitation and for your powerful convincing powers (I’m sure someone was behind her).

Let’s send out the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ! See you there!
