Palmerston church offers Cantata Come Walk With Me
The Palmerston United Church Choir is presenting the cantata “Come Walk with Me” on April 7 at the 10:30am service followed by a second presentation at 3pm.
The Cantata will be presented in the Sanctuary followed by refreshments in the Sunday School Hall.
Guest violinist will be Patricia McCormick of First United Church in Waterloo. Everyone is invited to attend this special presentation.
“Come Walk with Me,” Pepper Choplin’s latest work, is a spectacular cantata which manifests his chief desire “to create music that will lead people to worship in a dramatic way.”
Moreover, the work was “born from Choplin’s earnest desire to create truly soul-stirring music for these most sacred moments in history. “
His vision was realized in this remarkably fresh and dramatic setting of the Passion story in which a narrator leads us from scene to scene, retracing Christ’s path during his last days in human form.
The music supplies the drama and passion through its incredible mix of styles that range from classical to Appalachian, bluegrass, and Celtic folk idioms.
