Chairs set up in the back still weren’t enough, leaving many people standing.“We have the wonderful problem of a full house tonight,” Paul Hondorp, the director of choral activities, said.The theme of the concert was the worry and concern leading to joy, Hondorp said. The first song WKU choir sang, “Ich Hatte Viel Bekümmernis” from Cantata BWV 21, has two parts transitioning from stress to joy. The song is based on Psalm 94.After three songs, the group split, and six people sang solo performances: tenor Noah Chudgar, baritone Lane Tenbarge, soprano Kiris Ray, mezzo-soprano Reese Thompson, soprano Bella Daep and soprano Ellen Pardue.At the end of the concert, Hondorp invited any choir alumni to join as they sang a Kentucky folk song, “Bright Morning Star.” Hondorp said having alumni sing was meant to remind them of their dedication to the program and bring people together. The group sings the song every Thursday at 3:35 p.m., Hondorp said.“I’ve always loved how, apart of something, I’ve felt in music,” senior vocal education music major and WKU choir member Ellen Pardue said.“Until Love is Spoken…,” the next choir event, will happen on Oct. 18 at 4 p.m, has free entry and features the Treble Choir, University Singers, WKU Chorale and acapella ensembles in the Van Meter Auditorium.</div></body>
