SECRETS

There is something fascinating about secrets. Mystery stories in movies, novels, plays, and TV dramas can keep us spell-bound. Genealogy searches are often prompted by curiosity about the past and u n a n s w e r e d q u e s t i o n s a b o u t predecessorsOur family's recent collaborative cookbook included some really old

recipes (like how to make soap or prepare a quail dish), revealing quaint practices of by-gone days. About 25 years ago my husband and I decided to build a home in Cabarrus County. The acerage we inherited was part of the Iley homeplace. Dating back to 1917, the rolling hills, meadow lands, and stately forests had provided place for farm crops and gardens, pastures for cattle, and a peach orchard. The land was rich in remnants of past living, like Indian arrowheads, a little cemetery of unmarked graves, and a small wooden structure from tenant farmers. Clues from past inhabitants give glimpses of earlier life.

When our family house was under construction, the carpenters helped us design some "secret places." Now when grandchildren come to visit, they often check on those hiding places...the secret passage, hidden stair, and the antique table with secret drawer.

In the Bible we find many references to secrets and mysteries. God, in His majestic omniscience, holds knowledge beyond frail human comprehension. Moses, in his last speech to the Israelites, referred to the "secret things that belong to God" (Deut. 29:29). Job asked, "Can you fathom the mysteries of God?".

Jesus explained to disciples that human weakness prevents full knowledge in this present life. He said, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear" (John 16:11. He said, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything is said in parables. (Mark 4:11). In other words, only hearts ready to hear truth can be enlightened.

Beloved friends in Christ, may we be listening for any divine secrets that may be revealed to us!

Grace and Peace,

Martha Iley

We've all heard the old saying about “Walking the Talk.” This common sense maxim means that we should act in accordance with our beliefs and values. We really have to practice what we preach. As a result, good things happen when we make sure that values are reflected in our actions. That's what Metropolitan Music Ministries (MMM) does—it practices its values, and accordingly, good things happen.

The values of MMM are found in its mission statement that reads, “Metropolitan Music Ministries is a Christian service of volunteers committed to sharing the gifts of music with our community for the glory of God by awarding scholarships to aspiring church musicians and presenting programs of music and devotionals.”

How does MMM “Walk the Talk”? In late September, MMM presents its Annual Service in Celebration of Sacred Music to the community as a love offering. A myriad of volunteer musicians and singers come together to share their talents with the audience exemplifying the value of “sharing music with our community for the glory of God.” What good things come from all of the energy and time spent organizing and rehearsing for the Annual Service? First, God is praised for his goodness and love. The audience is invited to attend the concert and reception at no cost. Friends reconnect through the shared experience of music. Scholarship winners are given a chance to perform before a large appreciative audience. Finally, many people are introduced to MMM and its volunteer efforts in the community. The Annual Service is just one example of how MMM lives its values.

Another example of practicing its values is the MMM Scholarship Program. Each spring aspiring young college musicians audition for vocal, organ, and piano scholarships. Without a doubt, good things come from the countless hours of volunteer time spent organizing the auditions.

MMM provides yet another example of living its values as volunteers present musical programs to health care, rehabilitation, and homeless centers. When the volunteer musicians perform “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” “Amazing Grace,” or “Rock of Ages,” residents are inspired to share memories of better times.

I am deeply honored to be associated with an organization that makes sure its values are reflected in its actions. Without a doubt, good things happen as MMM “Walks the Talk.”

Dr. John Blizzard

Dr. John Blizzard has served St. Stephen United Methodist Church as Minister of Music for the past 8½ years. He also has served for twenty-three years as Professor of Voice/Artist-in-Residence at Wingate University and conducts the choir at Temple Beth El for the High Holy Days. Prior to his service at St. Stephen, John served in music ministry at several Baptist churches in North Carolina. He was influenced in music by the multi-faceted life and career of Leonard Bernstein and by the late Dr. James C. McKinney, dean of the School of Church Music at Southwestern Seminary. He holds the Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas; the Bachelor of Music, cum laude, from Florida State University; and the Associate of Arts from Pensacola Junior College.

The 40-member St. Stephen choir has toured England and has sung for the North Carolina Chapter of the American Choral Directors Association, the Charlotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, and on ten occasions for Piccolo Spoletto's Festival of Churches in Charleston. Dr. Blizzard is proud that his choir members are also very active in the church in other ways, embodying the vision of the church “to be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus Christ.” His favorite hymn is “O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go.”

Carey Cannon

Carey Cannon has led the Providence Baptist Church Choir for seven years and also directs the Men's Chorus, a group whose members range from a quartet to twenty men with the ability to sing a variety of repertoire. The chorus is mostly an “in house” group but many of the men just returned from a Labor Day concert in Washington, D.C. at the National Cathedral.

Carey is a doctoral candidate at UNC-Greens-boro. His undergraduate degree is from Furman University and his master's degree is from George Mason University. Prior to coming to Providence, Carey was a vocalist with the U.S. Army Chorus and Associate Conductor for the Charlotte Children's Choir. He has also held other adjunct positions in the Charlotte area. Dr. Glen Adkins, Minister of Music at Furman Baptist Church encouraged him to consider a vocation in music ministry. He gives much praise and honor to his wife Janet. Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil, specifically No. 2 “Bless the Lord Oh My Soul” is Carey's favorite piece of music. Soaring descants,

Cascading glorias, Ringing alleluias—Praise fills the skies,All light and air and grace:Hear the angels sing!

But what about the rumble?For 2.5 billion years,A black hole has sung a steady B flat,Fifty-seven octaves below middle C,A million billion times deeper than anythingOur poor human ears have ever heard—A basso profundo paean:This, too, is angel song.

--Kathy K. Grow

Dr. Katherine S. KinseyThe Winthrop Chamber Singers

Dr. Katherine Kinsey serves as the Director of Choral Activities at Winthrop University. She holds a Master's degree of Music Education from UNC-Greensboro and a Doctorate of Musical Arts in conducting from the University of South Carolina. Prior to coming to Winthrop, Dr. Kinsey taught in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and also worked with the Community School of the Arts teaching voice, piano, and music theory. Winthrop's Department of Music host an excess of 600 of the state's top high school singers each year for the SC Music Educators Association's All State Chorus weekend where the event has traditionally been held for over 30 years. Dr. Kinsey has served in numerous offices for the SC American Choral Directors Association and is a frequent clinician of choral festivals and adjudicator for choral contests.

He also holds a Master's degree in church music from East Carolina University and has additional graduate credits from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. David's father had a profound influence on his musical career and he remembers at an early age listening to the recordings of the Robert Shaw Chorale and of concert pianist Vladimir Horowitz. W.A. Mozart is his favorite composer and Requiem “the finest example ever of vocal/ instrumental composition.”

David is particularly proud of the Redeemer Lutheran Choir as a hard working choir with rehearsal attendance very strong. The choir has traveled to New York City for musical enrichment and concerts. The choir is honored to have been invited to participate in MMM's Annual Service of Sacred Music.

Adam WardChoir of Directors

Dr. Adam Ward returns to the MMM service this year as director of the Choir of Directors. Last year he brought the Providence United Methodist Church Chancel Choir to perform. Prior to coming to Providence, Adam served as Director of Music and Organist at First United Methodist Church in Salisbury. He has also served as Staff Accompanist at Catawba College, Director of the Concert Choir of Salisbury and Director of the Rowan Salisbury Choral Society. Adam says that “My biggest musical influences have been my childhood piano teacher, Paulette Wise, my college organ teacher, Robert Burns King and my college choral director, Bill Carroll.” He holds degrees (BM, MM and DMA) from UNC-Greensboro in organ performance. “My favorite piece of music: hmmm… there are so many, but I LOVE the Requiems of Mozart and Duruflé.”

Budd Kirby

Budd Kirby has been director of the St. Martin's Adult Choir for twenty-seven years. The choir has twenty-five members who Budd describes as “a very congenial group; sings all styles willingly.” Prior to coming to St. Martin's Budd was Minister of Music at First Baptist Church, Statesville. He was influenced in music by his father's family. Budd's undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Church Music from Mars Hill College and his graduate degree is Master of Music in Organ Performance from East Carolina University. Budd's favorite music and favorite composer is Bach. He says that “All music before Bach culminates in Bach and all music after Bach goes back to him.

(Continued)

Those attending the annual Worship in Music service will be treated to Austrian Hymn during the processional with a special arrangement for brass quintet and tympani accompaniment with soprano descant and trumpet descant written by MMM Board member David Hines. Known also as the Emperor's Hymn, the text was written by the poet Hauschka in 1796, and set to music for four voices by Joseph Haydn. It was first sung on the emperor's birthday, February 12, 1797, at the national theater in Vienna and at the principal theaters in the provinces. With Haydn it was a great favorite, which he often delighted to play, and which he introduced into the Kaiser quartet, No. 77, with elaborate variations. It endures as the best of Haydn's songs.

A second treat will engage the congregation in singing Praise the Lord: Ye Heavens Adore Him. On one verse, MMM Director Dr. Ginger Wyrick will play a flute obligato written by John Rutter. This hymn is the musical theme for the service. While the authorship of the hymn cannot be verified, the words and music are especially stirring:

Praise the Lord! ye heavens adore him;praise him angels in the height;

sun and moon, rejoice before him;praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise the Lord! for he hath spoken;worlds his mighty voice obeyed;

laws which never shall be brokenfor their guidance he hath made.

Praise the Lord! for he is glorious;never shall his promise fail;

God hath made his saints victorious;sin and death shall not prevail.Praise the God of our salvation!

Hosts on high, his power proclaim;heaven and earth, and all creation,

laud and magnify his Name.

The congregation and choirs will join together in a special arrangement of All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name. The hymn is often called the "National Anthem of Christendom." The lyrics, written by Edward Perronet while he served as a missionary in India, first appeared in the November 1779 issue of the Gospel Magazine, which was edited by the renowned author of Rock of Ages, Augustus Toplady. The text has been translated into almost every language. While there are several tunes, the one used in the service will be "Coronation.”

If it hadn't been for a scholarship offer to finish her degree, MMM Board member Nancy Armstrong might still be a dental assistant instead of changing directions and completing a teaching degree in mathematics. Fortunately for hundreds of students, Nancy's professional career has included being a tech lab manager, a department chair, and a C++ instructor. Because of her teaching skills and contributions to the teaching profession, Nancy was selected as Teacher of the Year. If there is any doubt that Nancy loves mathematics, she commented that “The absolute most exciting happening was my experience studying Chaos, Fractals and Dynamics at Princeton University where I spent an hour with Nobel Prize astrophysicist, Dr. Russell A. Hulse.” Now retired from CMS, she continues as a self-employed family portfolio manager.

But while MMM is fortunate to have Nancy's math skills on the Finance Committee, it is especially fortunate to have her background in music. Nancy sings coloratura in two church choirs at St. John's Episcopal Church; sings with and serves on the Board of the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte; sings with the Chamber Chorus; and is a founder and guitarist of the “John Tones,” a folk music group at her church. She continues to study voice and also plays piano and accompanies singers.

Nancy also has a third major interest: horses. Although she doesn't currently own a horse, she is a former equitation (horsemanship) winner and has taught horseback riding equitation. Other hobbies include gardening, yoga, swimming, and calligraphy.Nancy and husband Fred have one daughter, Kim Jonas and seven year old grandson Mason. Her musical favorites run the gamut from Rachmaninoff Vespers to hymns, folk music, rock and roll, and “all those fun songs of yesteryear.”

The talent, energy, and knowledge that Nancy Armstrong and other volunteers like her bring to MMM explains why the organization is able to continue to provide beautiful music and a Christian message to “the least of these.”
