In 2005 one of my colleagues gave me a copy of the movie ‘O Happy Day<\/a>‘. I watched the movie and was touched to tears.<\/p>\n

The movie tells the story of a Danish traditional church choir that is inspired by a visiting American gospel choir and its conductor. The conductor teaches the Danish singers to sing from the heart. This has big consequences for some of the singers whose lives are turned upside down by this new experience.<\/p>\n

One of the songs that touched me is ‘Lord hold me now<\/a>‘. I started looking for the author of the song and found Hans Christian Jochimsen<\/a> in Denmark. I sent him an email asking for sheet music, which he immediately sent me. My choir director let me teach the song to the choir.<\/p>\n

Sometime later I learnt from Hans Christian’s website that he was starting the International School of Gospel Music. One week in August, filled with inspiring workshops related to singing gospel music in a lovely location with excellent food. Since then I visited the school five times, each time getting inspired and making new friends.<\/p>\n
