There will be a second free
concert in May on the campus of the
Southeastern Baptist Theological
Seminary. The vocal and instrumental
ensembles will present their annual
evening of worship music, an offering
entitled “Jubilate,” Latin for “sing
joyfully,” on Friday, May 12, at 7 p.m.
in Binkley Chapel.
This year’s model for
worship will be Isaiah 6. The combined
ensembles will perform some of the text,
“I Saw the Lord,” written by Dennis and
Nan Allen.
“Seven of our musical
ensembles here at Southeastern have
worked together to present a wide
variety of music that will fit into the
Isaiah 6 model of worship,” Dr. John
Boozer, associate professor of church
music at Southeastern and conductor of
the Chapel Choir and the Contemporary
Vocal Ensemble, said. “The musical
styles range from English Renaissance
composer Richard Farrant’s ‘Lord, For
Thy Tender Mercies Sake’ 20th
century settings, to spirituals, to a
majestic orchestral rendition of
‘Midnight Cry,’ to contemporary praise
music, and to music representing the
styles from other cultures. If there is
a style of worship music you like, we
will probably hit it during the
service.” |
