Music: Sun Oct 25

 

So many treats from the great musicians of the CUUC congregation in store for this Sunday’s worship service! Kim and Christian Force offer a live rendition of Jason Robert Brown’s moving song “Hope,” and the CUUC Choir presents its virtual version of the uplifting “Nothin’ Gonna Stumble My Feet.” Surely, no mere pandemic will stumble our intrepid choir’s feet or anything else!

Solo piano music includes music evocative of the theme of Hope, from an arrangement of the traditional Spiritual “The Angels Changed My Names” to works by Chopin and Beethoven which seem to resolve and transcend tensions and strife. The Parting Music is a tribute to our youth and their Halloween celebration. Read on for programming details.
