Our 1st CD "St. Cecilia Solemn Mass"
( Messe de Sainte Cecile )
~ Duet in English ~

Chang-Hyub Chung and Yuko Chung sings baritone and soprano throughout this album.

All orchestral parts include strings, piano, and harp are also recreated and played by Chang-Hyub and Yuko with midi
and sequencer.

Charles Francois Gounod ( 1818-1893 )
French Composer wrote St. Cecilia Solemn Mass ( Messe de Sainte Cecile ) in 1855 which is one of Gounod’s wonderful masses with full orchestral accompaniment, chorus, soloists, and organ.

SANBIS arranged this music with soprano and baritone duet, violin, viola, cello, contrabass, harp, and piano ( piano reduction made by Joseph Barnby 1838-1896 ).

It was a big challenge and project with tasks to scale down a large choral work to a duet but Gounod's St. Cecilia Solemn Mass touched so deep in our hearts that we had to share this moving excitement and joyfulness to others and same reason we decided to sing in English.

HOKULOA United Church of Christ(Congregational)　
(Big Island of Hawaii)

Erected through the inspiration of Christian faith instilled in Hawaiians by Rev. Lorenzo Lyons(1807-1866),an American Congregational missionary who came to this island in 1832, the church structure now stands as a tribute to his labors which began in the village of Puako about 1835.

After taking two years to build, the building was dedicated on March 21, 1860. The building served as a house of worship until the termination of the Puako sugar plantation in 1914. Following that date, the landmark fell into disrepair and near ruin until a major restoration was undertaken in 1966. Since that time a number of groups have made use of the church building.

The new congregation now being formed will take the name of the "Hokuloa" Church. A search has been undertaken to find a location for constructing a larger facility. The historic building will be maintained and continue to be used by the new congregation for chapel services and other activities.

Sunday Worship, 9 a.m.

location; 2 1/2 Puako beach Drive
