Moses Hogan) is sung by The Central Washington University Chamber Choir (Gary Weidenaar, director) at the Santa María de León Cathedral in Léon, Spain. TEXT: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. O Thou who changest not, abide with me. In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen.

In Oct of 2008 I returned to the Jes church, the place I had grown up with my father running the folk mass Choir. He had retired 12 years previously. What was once a packed out mass full of joy and prayer, families and young couples, singles and religious, was now a quieter mass with no Choir and I saddened by this. I offered my services as a singer and musician to come and provide music for the 5:30 mass and within a few short weeks I returned to the place I consider my spiritual home. I had not purposely set out to start a Choir but people began to approach me with a desire to sing and it was a need within the community I was not going to Ignore. On the 12th Dec 2008 The Jes Gospel Choir was birthed with 5 singers and me & it was a wonderful experience and we received a very warm welcome. Within a year the Choir grew to over 15 members and some musicians. The wonderful thing about this Choir is that it is a Choir th...    less

It should be pointed out that both Choirs have the same and common origin; most of the members discovered Choir music when they were very young and joined a former Choir, Orfeón Portuense, founded in 1980. Since late 2013 , the possibility of a fusion of the two Choirs arises, motivated by the need of a common goal for both groups to improve, learn, make progress and get thrilled with our love for choral music. During 2014 until our official foundation on November 22nd, 2014 at the Basilica Menor Nuestra Sra, De Los Milagros in Puerto de Santa María; Coral Jardín Menesteo supports training on Choir music, organizing and attending the first Choir Music workshop in el Puerto de Santa María facilitated by Basilio Astúlez, who is a music teacher at the Local Music Conseva...    less
