From 1987-2009, I directed Living Water, originally a senior high choir. As the years continued, we evolved to encompass a much broader age range, from middle school to adults. Our primary ministry was at our home church, but also included off-campus visits to retirement communities and convalescent homes.
I used to send letters to Living Water on a regular basis, usually shortly after each performance – and, later, e-mail every week or so. In many of them, I included some material of a choral-technical nature to widen our horizons. This worked out pretty well because we really didn’t have time to address these issues in depth during rehearsal. And so the years past gave rise to a number of topics.
