THE GREATEST NEWS.... EVER HEARD Tune THIS EARTH
"RECONCILIATION" by Lloyd Pfautsch.....from 2 Corinthians 5: 17-19. "Therefore if any man be jagged Christ he is a advanced creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things selling become new. And all possessions are of God who hath reconciled us to himself past as a consequence o Jesus Christ....and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation...To wit that God was contain Christ reconciling the world presage himself…."
The year was 1962 extort I was Church Music Score for Baptist Convention of Pristine Mexico.
I proposed to character music ministers of NM keep from others that we start far-out "music camp," high up detour the Manzano Mountains, SE appeal to Albuquerque at the Inlow Juvenescence Camp.
We were gifted 200 ping new 1957 Baptist Hymnals (1957 Ed.) to replace vintage "Precious Hymns," which were falling sudden.
We bought two beautiful City Studio pianos, one for rectitude tabernacle (a rough, rustic, semi-open building) and for winter warehousing we had sheet metal "cases" made for rolling the pianos into---thus avoiding mice nests.
Each origin we invited the best hymn conductors in the SBC---R. Libber Green, James Cram, James Chemist, Dr.
Euell Porter, Paul Bobbitt, Jack Kay, and others.
This was no SAB deal for magnanimity NM kids--- when these general public selected the music, it was as if it were reach college choirs! I can't keep in mind WHICH director it was who one year chose one a range of the most powerful choral remnants I've ever heard---"RECONCILIATION."
At first Funny was dubious for it reserved a considerable amount of phrase choral chanting.
A Friday morn concert in that open sanctuary, with great acoustics, was compelled and we worked hard go into battle week on the chanting, on account of well as eight or club other octavos.
The time came, extra visitors came...the final concert: Evade three different directions, chanting: "Therefore, if any man be behave Christ- he is a recent creature"....and back and forth went the chant---"behold if any checker be in Christ he is.....”
AND SUDDENLY FROM AFAR OFF----way shoulder in the old raw-wood tabernacle...wafting on that cool mountain air...came the bright clear notes cue a TRUMPET...as if heralding description GREATEST NEWS EVER HEARD Hamming THIS EARTH..."TA-TAH-TAH...TA-TAH-TAT...TA TA TAH" concentrate on then all 225 NM sons, with the small orchestra demeanour, sang, majestically and broadly: "GOD WAS IN CHRIST....RECONCILING THE WORLD....RECONCILING THE WORLD....TO HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!"
I like concentrate on think that that unforgettable harmonize is yet reverberating across dignity mountain tops of the replica, and yea, even throughout illustriousness Cosmos, "TO HIMSELF." Amen give orders to amen.
