Advent & Christmas choir music

  Christmas is my favorite season for music. I love both the old, ancient carols and the new songs. May they all remind us that God became flesh in the birth of the baby Jesus.

  Here is the link to Mediafire again so you can go over your parts. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/i4bby26gfat92/PCC_Choir_Audio

  We sing Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming on Dec 8; then O Come and See the Baby on Dec 15; both of those songs again on Christmas Eve; then The Coventry Carol on Dec 29.

Choir Workshop, Saturday, Nov 2, 10-noon

All current, past, and new choir members are invited to a choir workshop on Saturday, Nov 2, 10-noon at church to start to learn the Christmas season music. We will start with coffee and donuts and then get into the nitty gritty of learning the  anthems. Come join us and make a joyful noise together!!

O Come and See the Baby demo - take 3!

Ok, so this is my third attempt to provide a demo of this song. I believe this link will work.

O Come and See the Baby demo

I found a demo of O Come and See the Baby which is the full song, not just a sample. So you will want to use this link, rather than the one which is on the list of links to demos of anthems for this year.  Holly

Links to choir parts for anthems on Mediafire

Hi Choir,

  Here is the link which should bring you to the MediaFire files of choir parts for our anthems. Music will be added as Robin completes them. (Thank you, Robin, for your work.) For some  songs which we have done in the past, you might need to go into the PCC choir archives file. To listen to a file, choose View, not Download.  More music will be added throughout the year. Hopefully, the link will continue to work. If not there will be a new link provided. Freedom

Welcome to Pathways Choir Blog

Welcome to our choir blog! At a time when so many churches have given up their choirs, I am happy to report that our choir is alive and well!  

There is a great precedent for choral singing in worship in the Bible. Way back at the dedication of the first temple in Jerusalem (built under Solomon in 977 B.C.), the choir sang and immediately the temple was filled with the Shekinah glory of God!  2 Chronicles 5:13  (Could God have given a clearer commendation to choral singing
