for a workshop on some of the new church music
which is available
Lecturer Alan Whitmore, is a noted musicologist who
studied in Stuttgart, Germany and is as much at home
at the organ and harpsichord as he is at the piano. He
represents Woodlake Books whose headquarters are in
Kelowna, B.C.
He explained licencing and copyright laws to the
group. As well, Whitmore spent time playing and
singing the Woodlake publications, with the group
singing along and learning the melodies. The music
was easy to sing and tuneful, and perhaps may help to
re-energize the worship services.
