GIVE THE CHOIR ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE CHURCH There are few topics of discussion that are as ardently debated as those pertaining to music in worship. When th e time arrives to build a chapel there is no topic as misunderstood as where to locate the choir. It is estimated that as many as 80% of all churches in America array the musical forces across the front of the sanctuary. In older churches, most notably those designed by Christopher Wren, the choir is situated in the back of the church, serving as a support for the rest of the congregation. This is purely a tradition oriented style and has no biblical backing. Unfortunately some churches especially many Methodist Churches in Ghana have adopted this antiquated, improper and doctrinally baseless style of choir positioning in the church. Sometimes we get so caught up in some tradition and ritualistic notions and forget about what God expects from us. If you walked into a church and it was time for praises and adoration; yo

Art or classical music in Ghana can be categorized into two main divisions: choral, the more popular form; and orchestral. The relatively higher popularity of choral art music in Ghana is widely attributed to the introduction of western hymnody by Christian missions in the 19th century and beyond. The missionaries’ indiscriminate suppression of indigenous musical forms in favour of their hymns is partly responsible for the dominance of Western choral musical styles in Ghana. Key Figures What is currently labeled as Ghanaian art music is generally credited to Ephraim Amu’s pioneering indigenization work dating back to the 1920s (Dor 2005; Agawu; 1994; Nketia 2004). Ephraim Amu revolutionized choral features distinct from its precursor, Western hymns and anthems. Amu’s pioneering emphasis on the adoption of the simple duple time, often with triplets, for all his African works—his emphasis on speech rhythm; on the relative lengths of words and syllables as key determinants for the

This year, there is going to be an award scheme for the Choral Youth Choirs in Ghana. This award scheme forms part of activities earmarked for the event dubbed GHYouth Choir Choral Festival. The Youth Choir Choral Awards is not a competition. It is just a system put in place to acknowledge the efforts that the Choral Youth Choirs in Ghana are putting up and to celebrate excellence when it comes to choral music since all the various awards scheme have sidelined that class of music not even Gospel music awards in Ghana.  “Nominations were done by a board and jury who took into consideration all Youth Choral activities that happened within the 2015 year under review. The voting system is to include the listeners of choral music to help us acknowledge the efforts of the choirs and individuals,” the CEO of Dugic Company Limited said. >>15 Awards to deserving Choirs/Individuals >>5 Honorary Awards >>Seminars/Workshops >>Choral Performances >>Music Exh
