"'A Gift Of Song Is A Gift Of Love"' When our family arrived in Midland two and a half years ago, I encountered a person with whom I shared the same home town of Simcoe and a mutual friend in Lanse McDowell. Lanse was Simcoe High School's music teacher and the United Church choir director, under whose direction I learned a deep appreciation of music. Through his skillful sensitivity with music, we ex- perienced being part of the sound of many voices blended as one in harmony. : Kathleen Mounteer, Midland's St. Paul's United Church choir director, trained formally under Lanse McDowell in Simcoe. I'm sure he could not be more proud of this star pupil. St. Paul's Spring Sing in 1973 overwhelmed me with the impact of that nostalgic choir sound so reminiscent of our Simcoe United Church choir. This kind of ex- cellence is difficult to attain, but Kathleen certainly has, to the great joy of the packed audience, and especially to another Simcoe girl so proud and thrilled with Kathleen's achievement with her choir. The Gift of Song given by St. Paul's choir on the occasion of the church's 50th anniversary is a recor- ding which captures the magic and message of much loved songs from their 1973-74 concerts. "A glorious collection of different kinds of music, sung by choristers from every walk of life. There are grand- mothers, teenagers and lots of people in between." Many of these choristers have volunteered in some way to Contact. Kathleen quotes "Godspell will do for one, what the Lord's Prayer will do for another." I have just listened to this recorded gift of song, and it is beautiful. I was deeply moved by the arrangements of I Believe blended with Ave Maria, The Lords Prayer and the medley of songs from Godspell for which the recorded applause expresses the audience's complete en- joyment. The most treasured song for me, very personally touching is Tonight from West Side Story. I attended that concert with my daughters when Sandi had just played the leading role in West Side Story at Midland Secondary School. lintend to give many of these records as gifts of love to our friends who share the enjoyment of choral music and the special message of these selected songs. Thank you Kathleen and your choristers. God bless you all. e share in St. Paul's 50th anniversary with deep apwrecication for the enrichment given to the people of Midland and area by the ministry of Rev. Norman Watson and the choir's ministry of music.
