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.” |
