Here Are The Programs Jim & Cheryl Can Bring To Your Parish:
"The Liturgical Year in Music"
Through discussion, reflection and musical selections, Jim and Cheryl will demonstrate how hymns written for the various Liturgical Seasons can deepen our prayer life and enhance our participation in the Mass.
"Sing The Psalms"
A prayerful, musical presentation centered on the treasure of psalmody. This program highlights many of the various musical settings of the Psalms and demonstrates the beauty of singing these prayers which were originally written to be sung.
"The History of Christmas Hymns & Carols"
An enjoyable presentation of Christmas Hymns & Carols. This program is appropriate for all ages and families are encouraged to come and sing along! Jim & Cheryl will explain the difference between a hymn and a carol and teach where some of our most popular Christmas music comes from.
"A Lenten Musical Meditation"
Music speaks to the heart in ways words cannot express. The Stations of the Cross are reverently prayed with appropriate musical meditations following each Station. This is an excellent program specifically intended for the Lenten Season.
"Why, What, and When Do We Sing?"
A study of the musical parts of the Mass. During Sunday Mass and special Liturgical celebrations, music plays such an important role. This program helps to develop a better understanding of its purpose to deepen your worship experience. The music and Sacred text reflect and reinforce the Liturgical actions.
"Catholic Music History"
A look at the historical developments of our Sacred hymns and songs. Where does some of our melodious praise come from? How did we get from Gregorian chant to today's praise and worship anthems?
"Sing a Joyful Song"
More than just a concert performance, Jim and Cheryl present a variety of Catholic music, from traditional to contemporary, that encourages attendees' participation in raising voices together as one in praise and worship. This joyful program is sure to lift the spirits of all who attend!
