[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the choir] Nothing lasts forever. There will come a time when you will leave your choir and need someone else to take over.     Who will you hand over to...

Viele Besonderheiten des Chores, Hintergründe in Pädagogik, Stimmzusammensetzung und Repertoire finden ihren Ursprung in der Arbeit der großen Chorpädagogin Edith Möller. Die musikalische Gesamtleitung liegt in den Händen von Stephanie Feindt.

Since the beginning, Rev. Lee Chong Min – a reverend as well as a professor of the School of Church Music, Singapore Bible College – has been appointed to be the choir master of the Chamber choir. In 1997, the choir name was changed to Jakarta Festival Chorus in order to reach out more participants from evangelical churches in Jakarta. Jakarta Festival Chorus is currently under the Music Department of the Communion of Chinese Churches in Indonesia (PGTI). The members now are choristers and sacred music lovers from different churches in Jakarta. for these past ten years, JFC has dedicated itself to regularly perform some great classical works from the famous composers, such as, The Messiah – Handel (2000), The Creation – Haydn (2003), Elijah – F.

The video is based on a caricature of me as a choirboy. This is an improved version using that video but following the words more clearly and also including the words on screen. The choir sings the 12 days of Christmas but it all goes horribly (or hilariously) wrong.

The copyright has now been transferred to Enitharmon quoting "U A Fanthorpe New and Collected Poems, Enitharmon 2010" who have also kindly given permission. It is an unusual and quite modern view of the Christmas story The site where Alan published his music is currently offline but if you are interested in singing this piece, check back here for updates.  less
