“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” - Johann Sebastian Bach The Stoltzfus Family [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=596158259593239&set=pb.100075972100828.-2207520000] |
Today, February 23, marks the 340th birthday of the renowned Baroque composer George Frideric Handel, known for operas, oratorios, and concertos. I will like to introduce the Stoltzfus Family, a conservative Mennonite family with ten children who are a musical family group.
The Mel and Katie Stoltzfus family, also known as The Mel Stoltzfus Family, is a singing group from Halifax, PA consisting of Mel, Katie Ann, and their ten children. They are known for their family-style harmonies and gospel music, having joined the Gospel Express Ministries as a singing team in 2017. They have released several musical recordings and are available for bookings through Gospel Express Ministries.

31 These are the men whom David put in charge of the service of song in the house of the Lord after the ark rested there. 32 They ministered with song before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they performed their service according to their order. – I Chronicles 6:31-32 (ESV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.agodman.com/build-church-peace-mingled-spirit-no-noise-singing-praising/] |

The Von Trapp Family singers warm up before a performance in New York's Town Hall. Bettmann/ Getty [PHOTO SOURCE: https://people.com/what-happened-to-real-von-trapp-family-the-sound-of-music-true-story-8764624] The Trapp Family (also known as the von Trapp Family) was a singing group formed from the family of former Austrian naval commander Georg von Trapp. The family achieved fame in their original singing career in their native Austria during the interwar period. They also performed in the United States before immigrating there permanently to escape the deteriorating situation in Austria leading up to World War II. In the United States, they became well known as the "Trapp Family Singers" until they ceased to perform as a unit in 1957. The family's story later served as the basis for a memoir, two German films, and the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical The Sound of Music. The last surviving of the original seven (born to Captain von Trapp and his wife Agathe Whitehead), Maria Franziska, died in 2014 at the age of 99. The youngest and last surviving member of the Trapp Family Singers (born to Captain von Trapp and Maria von Trapp) is Johannes von Trapp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapp_Family |

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; - II Chronicles 5:13 (KJV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://scriptures.saviorconnect.com/king-james-version/2-chronicles/2-chronicles-5-13-kjv] |

The most striking difference between little ones and grownups is that little ones cannot worry, and they cannot worry because they have no past and no future. They live only in the present moment. Just watch children. If they play, they play and don't even hear us call them and don't notice anything that is going on around them. If they eat, they eat; if they sleep, they sleep. There is a beautiful English word which describes how they do whatever they do, they do it 'whole-heartedly', whereas grownups always are half-hearted. - Maria von Trapp [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/407627] |
