2003 Miracle Yearbook

From the sounds of Jubilate to the classical pieces sung by the Concert Chorale, most performers agreed that the music was deeper than simply the singing. It provided the various choirs on campus an opportunity to worship and share their talents with many people. Both Men's Glee Club and Concert Chorale performed under the direction of Dr. Lyle Anderson. Men's Glee Club,a male choral ensemble,sang frequently in chapels and special praise concerts. Concert Chorale performed timeless classi- cal pieces, including liturgy and songs written in different languages. "Dr. Anderson is an incredible man," said Junior K.C. Myers,a third-year member. "There was a sense of gallantry about him. He had a great attitude that affected the morale of the choir. Whether we sang in huge halls or small churches, we were a wonderful choir." Freshman Darby Jones of Jubilate reminisced,"The best parts were the times when we prepared to lead Cedarville in worship. The director, Mr.O'Neil,knew how to focus the choir... he really wanted it to be the best." Sophomore Mellissa Zurakowski agreed,"He had a heart for worship." Jubilate toured in Florida on Spring Break,as well as performing in chapel and special concerts. "Some of my favorite Cedarville memories were from Women's Choir," said Junior Elizabeth Byers, who became involved her freshman year. Junior Mandy Guy echoed this sentiment,"[Director] Mrs.Porter was the most phenomenal woman I knew. She wanted us to not only sing, but to worship." Women's Choir performed in the fall, at Christmas,and for various other special events, including the Pops concert. These different choirs each had their own unique sounds and allowed the vocalists on campus to use their talents. The Concert Chorale sings a classical piece from their tour.
