Thanksgiving Musical Concert

As I've mentioned in my previous post, our church will have a Thanksgiving Musical Concert on October 24, Friday at the sanctuary. It will start at 8pm. The performers are the Combined Children's Choir and the Special Anniversary Choir.

They will perform... the Tale of Three Trees and Selections from Handel's Messiah respectively.

The church isn't giving enough information about these two titles, but thank God for the internet... So before you ask yourselves....is the Tale of Three Trees just like the story of the Three Little Pigs? And who in the world is Handel? Is he really famous? Cause I've never heard of him, ever...

Tale of Three Trees was written by Angela Elwell Hunt and David C. Cook [not the guy from American Idol]. It's basically a story of three trees who each had their own dreams. I'm sure each of us have our own dream. So I recommend this for all you dreamers out there, and expect to be wowed on how God can fulfill them exceedingly beyond your imagination. And if you have a good memory or notes, this story has already been mentioned during one of our worship services, maybe a year ago. I can't wait to see how the kids will depict it.

Messiah, on the other hand, was composed by George Frideric Handel,a German-born Baroque composer in the early 1700s.  He was born in the same year (1685) as Johann Sebastian Bach and was regarded as one of the more famous musicians of his time. Messiah, his most famous work, was composed in 1741 and revolves around Jesus's life and His significance to Christianity. In fact, the very well-known chorus Hallelujah is a part of Messiah. So....he is famous, well... his songs are. So if you like Hallelujah, I'm sure you'll like his other songs as well.. See you there.
