2011 Miracle Yearbook

MUSIC GROUPS Every year, musical groups on campus worship together through the teams provided by the music department. These groups include Women's Choir, Men's Glee Club, Concert Chorale, and One Voice. In addition to performing in separate concerts and chapel services, each group has the opportunity to bless other places with their praises. Musical group teams toured and served different churches in worship,even over Spring Break; One Voice will have the opportunity to worship in Australia this summer. No matter what the opportunity, the students involved inCedarville's music groups were truly blessed by the experience. Teams used different genres to minister to listeners. Jubilate singers focused their talents on pieces that were more contemporary, while Concert Chorale dedicated more time on classic worship pieces. One Voice was purely unique in the way that they performed, employing a gospel perspective of worship. Women's Choir and Men's Glee Club were teams composed of one gender, forming a group with a unison choir; their music tended to be a mix of musical styles. Though each group tended to sing separately, all groups (except One Voice) came together for one large performance with the classical band. This year, the collaborated group performed pieces by Leonard Bernstein and learned the piece from a guest conductor. The groups blended in perfect harmony, creating an outstanding version of the pieces. One Voice blessed the chapel experience several times and really kept the student body aware of God's mercy and grace. One student, Allie Hundley, said that her experience was not just a musical blessing. "Not only has One Voice taught me so much about what it means to worship with true freedom, but it's also my second family." This was true of all of the choirs; they quickly became dependant on each other and became like a family.
