Our choir anthem for April 21 was Lord, Listen to Your Children (Ken Medema, Jack Schrader, Hope Publishing, GC 850O). Here's a recording. (Just a reminder: Unless otherwise noted, these performances are never us, but thanks to the wonders of YouTube, you can hear the song anyway.)
What made this anthem especially fun was our guest director, Carl MaultsBy. My introduction to Carl MaultsBy came at the bishop's consecration, where he played the piano as we sang one of his compositions, so I was looking forward to this Sunday. I love the way he worked with us, and if we never quite got the spirit he was hoping for in the piece, the joy in his piano playing more than made up for it.
He really has a capital letter in the middle of his last name? Interesting.
I can't say if he was born that way, but that's how he spells it.
