About the Choir

Around the year 1050 BC, the Israelite army drew up for battle against a much bigger, much tougher, more brutal army called the Philistines. The men of Israel were sweating up a flood because they knew they would all either be slain or be made slaves to serve in the grain-fields of Philistia.

Then there suddenly appeared a short, lanky kid whose forehead only reached the chests of most of the Israelite soldiers; and he walked straight up to king Saul and told him that he was sure that God would deliver His people from an army of bulldogs, including the head bully, Goliath.

After David’s stunning defeat of the giant and Israel's subsequent victory over the Philistines, the shepherd boy’s fame took off like a rocket. He would eventually became king and feared by all the nations around him for the might of his kingdom. But there was one aspect of his personal life which most of his friends didn’t realize and none of his enemies would have dreamed of – his love for psalmody.

Fast-forward about 3000 years to modern America in a church called St Mary’s of Pompano Beach, Florida, and you will find a small band of deacons who don’t quite have King David’s fame or “ruddy good looks” (1 Sam 16:12) but who share his love of psalmody. That’s who we are! We feel we are very much like the ancient king in a few ways – we desire to serve God, we care about His people, and we care about the music of His house.

We have but one basic goal in learning hymns: to enter deeper into the church’s life and worship and so enrich our relationship with God (and with each other) which is done uniquely by hymnological expression.
