Trinity Newmarket Singers

 Besides My Lighthouse, I'm recommending that the Praise Team sing Beloved by Jordan Feliz with Amelia singing the verses solo, so that the words can be heard. Beloved would be an Anthem, while Lighthouse is an inclusive Hymn with the children doing actions. Check out the video and lyrics below. There's another one that the Praise Team loved, called Change My Heart, O God , that we think everyone will want to sing. It's simple and prayerful. I'm reminded of the statement about being Affirming, that we want people to know that we're unlearning prejudice and descrimination to become an inclusive and safe place for everyone. Head full of questions, how can you measure up? To deserve affection, to ever be enough for this existence When did it get so hard? Your heart is beating, alive and breathing And there's a reason why you are essential, not accidental And you should realize You are beloved I wanted you to know You are beloved Let it soak into your soul Oh, forg

Trinity Choir and Praise Team unite again to lead the congregation with this energetic and fun song: My Lighthouse by Rend Collective. I'll include the official lyric video to learn the song, and the wonderful video of the piano accompaniment with lyrics that I sent in an email to rehearse with. Please don't look at the sheet music anymore. Listen to the song, and sing along, then sing along with the accompaniment only. See how you feel. We'll sing this with lyrics only.  Think pop song. Singing along to the Beatles or John Denver, do you worry about the sheet music? We're singing in unison, so everyone is singing melody, easy-peasy.  The accompaniment will be a little different, and John will be playing the box drum too.  I would like us to stand in front of the congregation for this one, not at the side, and with music stands. Maybe we can move a little and clap a little? And, I've been talking with Jen about getting the kids up front doing actions. There are vide

I'm missing singing with my Thursday night friends, but I'm busy with a couple things, so it's not horrible.  If you need to do some Thursday night singing, go ahead to one of my playlists, or find songs on YouTube, or whatever place you listen to music, that have the lyrics so you can sing along.  Apple Music and Spotify have playlists by theme, tons of themes, if you want to try that. And, they also have playlists by artist, genre, and by era. So, you can look up 1970s rock, or 1980s dance, or Elton John Essentials, for example.  Hope you keep singing!

It was a lovely evening with lovely people!  Home and Family is such a good theme! We really sang a lot and it was a good end to our season. We'll return in September, and hopefully the room won't be so hot. Maybe we'll aim for later in September? Stay tuned. My Singing Night will return, and the Sing-along Café will serve up more wonderful music to sing together. Here's what we sang and listed to on May 16th (not in this order): Home by The Piano Guys Home by Phillip Phillips Home by Michael Bublé Home by Chris Tomlin Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver Take Me Home by Phil Collins Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp Our House by Madness If I Had $1,000,00 by Barenaked Ladies Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd She's Leaving Hom e by The Beatles We Are Family by Sister Sledge Family Affair by Sly Stone Father and Son by Johnny Cash  (2003) Somewhere Out There by Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin Count on

 There were no participants last night, so we will do the Home/Family theme next Thursday, May 16th, and we'll  discuss when to break for summer. The choir room and Fellowship room were both very warm, a little stuffy, so wear layers.  Here's a pretty song for you for Mother's Day, The Seal Lullaby. Feel like a little flipperling, soothed and protected by the mama seal, gently rocked by slow swinging seas, and nestled in soft billows. My choir, the YRCC, will be singing this with the Newmarket Citizens Band on Saturday, May 25th. 

Trinity Singers, did you know there is a place online where you can find the events that Judy lists every month? Music, Theatre, Arts events are all listed every month and I enter them on my YRCC website:  Link Here . If you visit the website, you can click on NEWS in the top menu and then on the left click on Arts Listing Plus- Local Events. You will find our Cornelia Herrmann concert poster there, among so many cool things. Here it is again:

 The theme was Earth and Peace, and we enjoyed a few leftover la-las too. We concluded that we could attain Peace on Earth if more women gathered like us to sing and talk about love and how to care for our planet and the people on it. Renate thinks we should have more easy-to-sing la-las in songs so that everyone can sing along. Surely we can achieve harmony in the world by singing in harmony. Here's the list of what we sang and listened to (I'm hearing that people love reading these lists!) Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong (bonus for early arrival and Harold) Fly Like an Eagle by Steve Miller Band Havana (no rap version) by Camila Cabello Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani Peace Train by Cat Stevens Blue Skies by Ella Fitzgerald I See the Light by Mandy Moore & Zachary Levi Calypso by John Denver Earth Song by Michael Jackson, Video and sing-along Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan Give Me Love by George Harrison Someday at Christmas by Stevie Wonder Hymn to Freedom by
