The anniversary of the choir’s
foundation has a very significant place
within the Chorus Urbanus calendar.
Throughout its history, music-making has
played a vital and significant role and
has seen the choir rise eminently to the
role of a national cultural protagonist.
An old adage states, “Music has charms
to soothe the savage beast.” In the
years that have passed life may not have
been what it ought to, but we sing
“Hallelujah” anyhow, because God is
great!
Innumerable congregations and audiences,
both local and foreign, have been
soothed and enriched by the musical
performances of our choir. And every
Christmas we celebrate the Choir’s
foundation anniversary: an annual event
that gives the community an opportunity
to tangibly show its appreciation to the
music ministry for our ongoing weekly
commitment and involvement in the
liturgical and cultural sphere.
We celebrate and praise, in every manner
possible, our God to whom we owe our
very existence. We sing praises, because
of God’s creation, intervention, and
preservation.
The very existence of God provides
sufficient impetus for our praise. God
has done great things for us! The mighty
deeds of our Creator cannot be matched.
The monumental greatness of God cannot
be surpassed. To God be the glory for
all great things that have been done. So
let us praise the Lord from whom all
blessings flow and thank Him. Life may
not be what it ought to be, but we sing
“Hallelujah” anyhow, because God is
great. Let the sopranos sing of God’s
sovereignty, let the altos give a
crescendo of adoration! Let the tenors
triumphantly declare the “marching on”
of His truth and the basses belt out
with power the testimony of the
blessings of our God.
