Without Limits: Singing the Congregation’s Song

Sponsored by Jacque Jones, FHS, in memory of Alice Parker, FHS, and Rae Whitney

N.B. THIS SESSION IS A CONTINUATION OF GIA’S PREVIOUS SESSION, NOT A REPEAT
Composer Ben Brody joins text writers David Bjorlin and Hannah Brown to introduce their new and forthcoming collections. Brody’s tunes, blending contemporary sounds with traditional forms, have appeared in a number of recent hymnals. Bjorlin has emerged as a prophetic voice, with selections from his first published collection already becoming standards for many congregations. Brown, a new voice in hymnody, brings new pastoral perspectives and fresh forms that will be welcome additions to the repertoire. The three presenters will share and discuss their collaborations with one another, as well as with other writers and composers.

The presentation will be spread across two sectional sessions; come to one or both.
