Music Notes
Trinity Early Childhood Music
John Leavitt’s Requiem
On Palm Sunday, March 24th, Trinity’s Chancel Choir and Youth Choir
will perform John Leavitt’s Requiem with soloists and orchestra at both
the 8:15 and 11:00 worship services. Leavitt’s Requiem deviates from
the traditional mass for the dead and instead provides solace for the
living, proclaiming “How Can I Keep From Singing?” This is a
contemporary and exciting work that will provide our ECM children
with an opportunity to see and hear a live orchestra and choir in an
intimate setting. It’s a very rhythmic piece of music, utilizing THREE
percussionists. I think your whole family will absolutely love this
performance! Plus, you and your children will have an opportunity to
join our “palm parade” celebrating Jesus’ arrival to Jerusalem. Please
join us for this great morning of music and celebration!
Children’s Choir Festival and Concert
The children’s choirs of Trinity United Methodist Church and St.
Elizabeth’s School will be gathering together on Saturday, April 20th for
an exciting day of music, fun, and food in preparation for a concert to be
presented that afternoon at 2:00. Many of our current and former
Early Childhood Music students are now members of Trinity’s Joyful
Voices children’s choir and will be singing that afternoon.
This would be a wonderful opportunity for our ECM families to attend a
live concert in a family-friendly setting. Both choirs will be singing a
variety of both sacred and secular music, featuring piano, flute, and
maybe even some drums! The concert will take place in Trinity’s
historic sanctuary and is sure to be a hit with your kids.
Jesus Christ Superstar
Trinity’s Drama Ministry will be presenting a 60s-inspired version of
the rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, on the weekend of April 26th.
This award-winning musical features an intergenerational cast as well
as a live rock band and will take place in Trinity’s sanctuary. Written
by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Jesus Christ Superstar traces
the final days of Jesus and illuminates the transcendent power of the
human spirit. It features many popular hit songs, such as I Don’t Know
How to Love Him, Heaven on My Mind, Hosanna, and the title song, Jesus
Christ Superstar.
Performances are schedule for Friday and Saturday, April 26th & 27th at
7:00 and again on Sunday, April 28th at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $14 for
Adults, $12 for Seniors, and $10 for Students (18 and under). There is
also a Family Pack available for $40. You can purchase tickets online at
trinityumc.org or seatyourself.biz/trinityumc.
