Full Description

The heart of the Christian faith is summarized in the Apostles' Creed. Many hymnwriters, such as Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts, and John Newton, wrote hymns that reflect the words and doctrines of the Apostles' Creed. This program presents a selection of those hymns. Some of them are familiar to many of us, such as "Holy, Holy, Holy" and "I Sing the Mighty Power of God." Others, perhaps, are not as well known, such as "Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise" and "The Judgment Has Set." But all of the selected hymns reflect the faith of our fathers as seen in the Apostles' Creed.

Host for the program is Dr. Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School, Samford University. Vocal performances are provided by Joseph and Suzanne Hopkins.

Joseph Hopkins, Professor of Music and Dean of the School of Performing Arts at Samford University has performed in concert, opera, and recital in the United States, Africa, Canada, Europe, and Japan, including performances with the Operafestival di Roma, Dallas Lyric Opera, St. Petersburg State Orchestra, Moscow Philharmonic, and the International Chamber Orchestra of Rome. Before Samford, Dr. Hopkins served as Dean of the Petrie School of Music at Converse College and chair of the Dept. of Music at the University of Evansville. He is founder and director of the Harlaxton International Chamber Music Festival (England).

Suzanne Hopkins has served on the faculties of the Harlaxton Voice Institute (Lincolnshire, England), Operafestival di Roma (Rome, Italy), and the University of Evansville. Performances have included orchestral works, concerts, and recitals in the United States and Europe along with recordings with her husband Joseph Hopkins. Her private students have continued studies at renowned music schools and conservatories and enjoy happy careers in performance and teaching.
