Preview Postview

A preview of “Job: a Postmodern Opera of Biblical Proportions” was presented Sunday night, February 4th in Lakemont’s fellowship hall. We were blessed with a larger than normal crowd in attendance who seemed genuinely appreciative and moved by the performance (were those “whoops” I heard??). Thanks to all who attended.

We rearranged the order of a few of the songs for this preview, plus added some narration to help the overall flow and continuity of the storyline. I think it helped. I have not heard the recording from Sunday night, but overall I think our sound and balance was better than ever. Kudos to Al Milliron for being so diligent about getting it right and congratulations to Al and his new wife Cathy.

Three of the singers who participated in previous previews were unable to make it this time. Literally at the last minute (well, ok… two days before) Jolene Peters jumped in and learned two songs (”So Many Questions” and “Wisdom”), performing them excepetionally well. Thank you, Jolene. I (Don) also had to fill in the gap and sing two songs (”One Act Theater” and Elihu’s song “Hear My Words”). This is why we are looking for more singers to participate. If one of our major parts is out, we need to be sure it is covered. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know.

A couple of additional musical items were added this time, also. Suzanne wrote a “mini-overture” to get everything started and we also added a verse to Elihu’s song that moves it closer to being an accurate reflection of what he said in the biblical account.

For those of you who wanted to be there, but couldn’t, hopefully you can make it next time. We are scheduled to perform again on Wednesday, March 14th at Broadway Baptist Church (on Barton Chapel Road). If you would like for us to come and peform Job at your church or other performing venue, please let me know. We would be thrilled to have an opportunity to share it with you.
