A Family Event! Come hear Prokofiev’s "Peter and the Wolf", a musical tale for children.
On October 19, 2003, an "Organ Spectacular" (www.agohq.org/events/os.html) will be held in more than 250 cities around the world to showcase the organ and to celebrate the "International Year of the Organ," (www.agohq.org/events/iyo.html) which will continue through June 2009, and feature a multitude of activities ranging from organ concerts to organbuilding workshops.
The organ dates back some 2,000 years to ancient Egypt, making it the world's oldest keyboard instrument. It has had a colorful history, with many contributions to our culture. Today, it continues to enchant both young and old. The International Year of the Organ is an opportunity to introduce this amazing instrument.

Archaeological evidence indicates that Florida’s springs have been a source of life
for thousands of years.
"O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home!" -- Considered to be one of the greatest in hymnody, this is a paraphrase of Palm 90: "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting, to everlasting, Thou art God."
This hymn once had 9 stanzas! It was part of The Psalms of David, published by Isaac Watts in 1719. Watts, often called the father of English hymnody, wrote more than 600 hymns.
The tune, "St. Anne," had been composed in 1708 by William Croft, an Oxford musician. This majestic hymn tune has been borrowed by great Masters such as Handel and Bach to create their own powerful interpretations.
Join us in singing hymns of praise that celebrate the water of eternal life,
with organ works performed by members of the Jacksonville AGO.
"Come thou fount of every blessing; tune my heart to sing thy praise.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise."
