Favorite Hymns
Continued from 9A
Our country has added still
more riches through diversity.
“The American tradition,”
Foster explains, “is tied very
closely to the American tradition
of the melting pot.”
African-American spirituals,
folk music, gospel songs and
popular music have all had their
influence on the songs sung by
today’s choirs and congregations.
Some of the songs that the
congregation of the Perry United
Methodist Church chose for
Sunday’s concert have words
that came from moments of awe
like those of “America the Beau
tiful.” Others came from Chris
tian reflection on the griefs and
hardships of life.
Horatio G. SpafTord penned the
words to It is Well With My Soul,
after losing four of his daughters
in the sinking of the S.S. Ville du
Havre in 1873. (On Sunday, this
hymn will be sung as a solo by
Sara Muse.)
Still others are the master
pieces of great artists working at
the peak of inspiration, and at
least one has created its own tra
dition - probably by mistake.
Foster explains that in England
there is an established tradition
of standing for The Hallelujah
Chorus.
“King George II is reported to
have risen to his feet at the clos
ing chords of The Hallelujah
Chorus, Foster notes, “and the
entire audience followed suit. A
lot of speculation has been made
about why the king stood. Some
believe it was because he was so
moved by the majesty and power
of the music. A more likely expla
nation is that his backside was
tired after nearly three hours of
music! American audiences have
also adopted the tradition of
standing for The Hallelujah Cho
rus. Not many people can tell you
why, and those that try, normally
say it is‘tradition.’ I recommend
to my audiences to stand only if
your behind is tired and thus fol
low in a long and kingly tradi
tion.”
Seated or standing, the audi
ence at the Favorite Anthems
Concert on Sunday will have an
opportunity to enjoy some of the
citizens. According to Sara
Satterfield, Pilot Club president,
the group meets on the second
Tuesday of each month at the
Ochlahatchee Clubhouse for a
great treasures of Christian sa
cred music.
There will be two perfor
mances, one at 3 p.m. and one at
7 p.m. There is no admission
charge, but because of limited
seating advance reservations are
needed. Call the church office,
987-1852, to reserve seats.

Transportation is provided by the
Pilot Club.
“We call this our happy hour
because they make us happy,”
said Satterfield.
According to Polly Coleman,
coordinator for the Happy Hour
program the group usually con
sists of about 30 members.
In addition to their monthly
meetings with the Happy Hour
group the Pilot Club is also in
volved in the aid of Alzheimer’s
patients. According to Satterfield
the club is in the process of work
ing for a grant that would pro
vide for wrist transmitters and
bracelets that would aid the
quick recovery of lost
Alzheimer’s patients. Donations
for this project are welcome.

its goals contact Sara Satterfield
