Rev. 4/22/12 How Can We Keep From Singing Music Videos Sunday. November 14, 2010 was a great day for worship and music at First Presbyterian. While the Chancel Choir rested up for that afternoon's All-Mendelssohn Concert, morning worshipers basked in the glowing sounds of FPC's Chapel Choir.   How Can I Keep From Singing (that Shaker/Quaker classic), arranged for voice, piano and oboe by FPC's Music Director - Dr. Michael Lister. Albert Wood, piano Susan Gierthy, oboe click here Followed by two Bach Chorales - woodwind duet by Susan Gierthy (oboe) and Senta Fosmire (bassoon): Sheep May Safely Graze Wachet Auf Dick Gascoyne recorded a lovely video snippet  of Mendelssohn's Lauda Sion at the afternoon concert, jointly performed by FPC and First United Presbyterian Church of Troy. Sunday, November 21 was another fine day at FPC.  Check out FPC's Bell Choir and their rendition of Hal Hopson's Antiphon. That same day, FPC alto Fiona McKinney provided heart-warming communion music-  Strassburg's arrangement of O Jesu, Joy of Loving Hearts As might be expected, December afforded us numerous opportunities for joyful noise - vocal and instrumental.
