Do not be afraid- Philip Stopford

In response to the #Covid19 shutdown, a reduced, socially-distanced St Andrew's Cathedral Choir quickly recorded this piece for broadcast on the Cathedral's first online Sunday service. The music and message are very relevant at this time.

Thank You Thank You Thank You for this in such a time as this. The most blessed and true promise of all. It is profound that God loves us, and equally profound that we are His - because He says so! Thank you for your beautiful voices and gift to communicate to us.

I love Ross Cobb's direction, I like his encouragement to his singers

One of the boys is his own son. Therefore a closer connection than just master to choir.

Absolutely 1st-class singing.I would love to hear what the entire choir sounds like and I do hope it will not be long before I can do so. I had no idea Australia had such a good cathedral choir!

Thanks John! Were you a chorister here?

[@johncaukill7605]

@@musicatstandrewscathedrals5302 I studied music playing flute and soprano saxophone but not a chorister. Sadly Mr Heamans a previous Choir Master passed away during practice one morning when I was on school assembly on Level 7. His dear wife was involved in music as well.

@@johncaukill7605 Thank you, yes, Janet Hemans is still very much alive, and is a wonderful and prayerful supporter of the music at St Andrew’s still.

What an excellent vocal rendition of this beloved hymn!
