Group Singing Returns in FebruaryWe’re excited to try multiple weeks of live music in the sanctuary this month! It feels like a long time since the amazing Christmas Sunday celebration with On the Fence leading worship alongside Cheryl at the organ, and with our choir singing “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.” Even Christmas Eve, with Amy […]

Edwards Church Music: When You’re Ready to Return

January 9, 2022 by Rick Seaholm

Music at Edwards Church

From our return to the sanctuary on November 14, through Christmas Sunday we planned a gradual increase in the amount of music per service in an effort to control the number of people in close proximity singing and rehearsing together.  God willing, our plan went, we would be able to reach Christmas Sunday singing joyfully, […]

Edwards Church Music: When You’re Ready to Return

November 24, 2021 by Rick Seaholm

Music at Edwards Church

Greetings, from within the sanctuary, and doesn’t it feel nice again! In the past few weeks I have informed choir members in a few forums (Zoom meeting in early November with follow-up notes, and a lengthy email last week) with a number of my thoughts about moving us toward a renewed musical life in the […]

Music News clip art

In the interest of utmost caution as we return to the sanctuary, the Edwards Church Council voted in October to refrain from singing in the sanctuary during our initial worship services. While we are sad about this fact, it felt like the right decision at the time of that meeting and all we can do […]

A Vision for Edwards Church Music

October 1, 2021 by Rick Seaholm

I had been hoping for more clarity in the world before trying to provide a fuller picture of my vision for Edwards Church Music once we get back into the sanctuary. But it has become clear to me in the last few weeks especially, that it could be a while before everything makes complete sense […]

At the Crossroads

September 11, 2021 by Rick Seaholm

Greetings, friends. The release of this newsletter falls right on the cusp of  knowing some things in general terms about Edwards Church Music this fall but not yet having full details figured out yet. One of the greatest things I’ve learned during the pandemic was that music helped get many of us through a very […]

We’ve had a lot of opportunities to listen to great music during the pandemic. I’ve told you about them many times in this space. Studio Choir, Multi-home Ensemble, even my weekly Thursday evening music appreciation classes all have resulted in people’s ears being saturated with the finest music we can offer. My ears have rung […]

A Note of Gratitude

January 5, 2021 by Rick Seaholm

When we began this fall, we hoped to get more worshipers onscreen and on microphone. Council even ensured that provision when we voted to continue in virtual worship, at least through December. Through the development of our Studio Choir and Multi-home Ensemble, we have explored new ways of making music “together,” and what a way to make […]

Music Appreciation

December 3, 2020 by Rick Seaholm

This month I want to draw your attention to the music appreciation sessions that happen every Thursday night (with rare exception) live from my dining room table. By my most recent count, this month we will hit our thirtieth session since the middle of March, when it seemed like something fun to do for a […]
