Hannah Popham performs with
Piedmont University Singers
The Piedmont Univer
sity Singers gave their
first public performance
in nearly two years on
Nov. 11 at the Chapel
on the Demorest cam
pus. Hannah Popham
of Barnesville, GA, was
among nearly 40 students
selected for participa
tion.
Piedmont president
James F. Mellichamp
established the Piedmont
Singers 33 years ago to
serve as ambassadors to
Congregational churches
throughout the United
States. Through the
years, the ensemble has
grown in both size and
quality.
Since the group was
formed, it has performed
in 26 states, Washington,
D.C., Canada, England,
and Wales. It was invited
to perform at the Georgia
Music Educators Associa
tion conference in 2000
and 2005, and it has been
invited to perform again
in 2022.
For the Nov. 11 per
formance, the Piedmont
Singers performed pieces
representing a wide
variety of musical styles,
from the Renaissance to
the present, including
works in Latin, Czech,
and Swedish, as well as
English.

The highlight of the
concert was Trinity Te
Deum, which featured
the choir with the organ,
harp, percussion, and
brass.
“The program also
included a piece during
which the audience was
encouraged to sing along
with the choir. This per
formance was a celebra
tion of being able to sing
together once again and
to sing for the public,”
said Associate Dean of
the School of Fine Arts
Dr. Wallace Hinson, who
conducts the Piedmont
University Singers.
The singers were
joined by Louise Bass,
organist and artist-in-res-
idence, for two works on
the program, 0 Thou the
Central Orb by Charles
Wood, and Trinity Te
Deum. Bass, a native of
McAlester, Oklahoma,
and a resident of Albu
querque, New Mexico,
is an experienced per
former of sacred music
and has deep roots as
a church musician. She
has served as organist
and choir director at
the Cathedral Church
of St. John in Albuquer
que and has performed
throughout the U.S. and
Europe at some of the
world’s most important
churches. She has the
distinguished honor of
performing with the Pied
mont Singers for nearly
20 years and has toured
with the choir across the
U.S., England, and Wales.
Bass recently com
mented about how much
it means to work along
side Piedmont students.
“1 really want them
to know how much they
mean to me. It’s been a
real honor to play for
them. The conductor
is wonderful, the choir
extraordinary, and the
organ magnificent,” she
said.
