A Hymn Festival for the River City

| Sponsored by the Jacksonville AGO
The event is free and open to the public.
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."

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.

Friends of the Jacksonville Symphony
Read the letter from the organizers of Friends of the Jacksonville Symphony: FOJS_Letter-01-03-08.pdf.
Friends of the Jacksonville Symphony (FOJS) was established in the last weeks of 2007 to support the locked out JSO musicians and to help the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra survive. The immediate goal at the time was to help resolve the impasse in negotiations. Through the Community Foundation in Jacksonville www.jaxcf.org, a 501-c-3 fund was established so that donations could be made to directly benefit the musicians once the impasse was resolved.
Donations raised by FOJS will fund additional concert(s) (thereby extending the season) as well as new community education/outreach programs, all of which were specified and agreed to by JSPA and JSA as part of the new contract.
|
Funds donated to the FOJS fund must be received through The Community Foundation. Regulations require that FOJS donations held at The Community Foundation must be given to a 501-c-3 organization. The JSA is such an organization and the JSA has agreed to accept the funds we raise and distribute them as defined in the contract.
Contributions should be mailed to:
Friends of the Jacksonville Symphony Fund
The Community Foundation
121 West Forsyth Street, Suite 900
Jacksonville, Florida 32202
