What so amazing to me is that these are by Mennonite (or mostly Mennonite) youth (or mostly youth). Also amazing is that these are the kind of Mennonites that practice <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anabaptists.org\/doctrine.html#veiling\">the Christian woman&#8217;s headship covering<\/a>. Most amazing of all, though, is this: our son <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaf.net\/mvp\/2014\/how-many-music-makers-can-a-house-hold\/\">Andrew<\/a> is a tenor in the Acclamation Chorale.

And, as anyone who has ever been young can attest, where there\u2019s youth there\u2019s fire. Both ensembles have new albums, each of which fans or at least tends the flame of the North American sacred a cappella choral tradition.<\/p>\n<p>The Acclamation Chorale\u2019s I\u2019m Gonna Sing features Negro spirituals in arrangements by the late Moses Hogan. More impressive than the attention to rhythmic detail that propels the majority of the performances is the attention to dynamic detail that imparts an aural nimbus to \u201cAbide with Me\u201d and \u201cAmen.\u201d The Oasis Chorale\u2019s Eternal Mercies presents a more eclectic program, ranging from the incandescent (\u201cAlleluia Incantation,\u201d \u201cEven When He Is Silent\u201d) to the incandescently exotic (the Xhosa-language \u201cNdikhokhele Bawo\u201d). A telling coincidence: Both albums contain Hogan\u2019s vigorous arrangement of \u201cI Can Tell the World.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"alignrightsmall\"><a href=\"https:\/\/world.wng.org\/2018\/03\/new_or_recent_releases\">World Magazine | March 21, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;re into buying stuff on Amazon, here you go:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Im-Gonna-Sing-Acclamation-Chorale\/dp\/B07895XF2S\/\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=markroth-ac-20&#038;linkId=7168e414e51d2eb50654fcb2590c4e9c\">Acclamation Chorale | I&#8217;m Gonna Sing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eternal-Mercies-Oasis-Chorale\/dp\/B076DR78ZD\/\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=markroth-ac-20&#038;linkId=d42bea5b5c85ca8e6c849263a6fdbaae\">Oasis Chorale | Eternal Mercies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0000DH8GV\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=markroth-ac-20&#038;linkId=d66b763d37391f72c03ff112fea13b09\">World Magazine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaf.net\/mvp\/wp-content\/encore-article-and-cd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eaf.net\/mvp\/wp-content\/encore-article-and-cd.jpg\" alt=\"Acclamation Chorale CD and World magazine article\" width=\"604\" height=\"453\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eaf.net\/mvp\/wp-content\/encore-article-and-cd.jpg 604w, https:\/\/www.eaf.net\/mvp\/wp-content\/encore-article-and-cd-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.eaf.net\/mvp\/wp-content\/encore-article-and-cd-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and our son missed being in the World photo by a degree or two to the right. \ud83d\ude00 In fact, he might have been holding the book &#8212; and now you know what the faint tan arrow is about in the screen capture above. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: This post has Amazon Affiliate links.
