A funeral with a gospel choir

A funeral with a gospel choir

A hallelujah for life! The final great journey lies ahead, and the life of the person who has died is to be celebrated once more. A professional gospel choir gives this farewell a special depth. The focus is not the pain of loss, but gratitude for the life shared together, for memories, love and connection. The powerful voices, and above all the deceased person's favourite songs, touch people in a very immediate way. Alongside personal musical choices, familiar church classics from Black church services are also performed. Reverend Dwight Robson and his Golden Voices of Gospel take funeral guests on a musical journey through the life and times of the person who has died. Their music represents pride, devotion, hope and joy in life, and honours the person at the centre of the day. The repertoire of these charismatic voices makes clear that many modern genres, including blues, jazz, rock and beat music, have their roots in gospel. Whether modern arrangements or timeless classics such as Oh When the Saints, Glory Glory Halleluja, Swing Low Sweet Chariot or Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, these songs invite guests to listen, feel and, if they wish, sing along. A farewell filled with warmth, community and musical power.
