John L. Bell
b. 1949 Person Name: John L. Bell (b. 1949) English version of "Come, let us worship him, endlessly sing" in Church Hymnary (4th ed.) John Bell (b. 1949) was born in the Scottish town of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, intending to be a music teacher when he felt the call to the ministry. But in frustration with his classes, he did volunteer work in a deprived neighborhood in London for a time and also served for two years as an associate pastor at the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam. After graduating he worked for five years as a youth pastor for the Church of Scotland, serving a large region that included about 500 churches. He then took a similar position with the Iona Community, and with his colleague Graham Maule, began to broaden the youth ministry to focus on renewal of the church’s worship. His approach soon turned to composing songs within the identifiable traditions of hymnody that began to address concerns missing from the current Scottish hymnal:
"I discovered that seldom did our hymns represent the plight of poor people to God. There was nothing that dealt with unemployment, nothing that dealt with living in a multicultural society and feeling disenfranchised. There was nothing about child abuse…,that reflected concern for the developing world, nothing that helped see ourselves as brothers and sisters to those who are suffering from poverty or persecution." [from an interview in Reformed Worship (March 1993)]
That concern not only led to writing many songs, but increasingly to introducing them internationally in many conferences, while also gathering songs from around the world. He was convener for the fourth edition of the Church of Scotland’s Church Hymnary (2005), a very different collection from the previous 1973 edition. His books, The Singing Thing and The Singing Thing Too, as well as the many collections of songs and worship resources produced by John Bell—some together with other members of the Iona Community’s “Wild Goose Resource Group,” —are available in North America from GIA Publications.

Lorraine Florindez
1926 - 2011 Person Name: Lorraine Florindez, 1926- Arranger of "[A los tres días, resucitó]" in ¡Cantad al Señor! Lorraine A. Wiggan Florindez was born on March 11, 1926, in Chicago, Illinois, the eldest of three daughters, offspring of Lucenia Rivetta Ulett and Edward Wiggan, Jamaican immigrants. A child prodigy on the piano, Lorraine began formal piano lessons at the age of seven and gave her first formal piano recital at age eleven, an event written up in the newspaper, The Chicago Defender. She served as church organist for St. James Lutheran, Chicago, at the age of fourteen. A student of Corpus Christie Catholic School, Francis Willard Elementary, and DeSable High School, Lorraine played oboe and French horn in her high school concert band, which frequently featured vibraphonist, Lionel Hampton. A voracious learner, Lorraine skipped two grades and graduated from high school at the age of sixteen. The first in her family to attend college, she majored in music at Carthage College, Kenosha, Wisconsin, graduating in 1946 with a Bachelor’s degree cum laude in music.
Lorraine had a dedication to God and missionary endeavors and was placed by the Board of American Missions (LCA, 1946) at the Southern Christian Institute in Edwards, Mississippi, where she conducted a children’s choir and taught music. Fluent in Spanish, Lorraine was commissioned to continue her missionary work in Puerto Rico in 1948. There she met and eventually married Rev. Miguel de Sevilla in 1950. They served together in rural parishes in Dorado for five years and had three children: Catalina, Miguel. Jr., and “Sage” Joyce. Over the span of the next fourteen years, Rev. Sevilla was assigned to cultivate the Puerto Rican Lutheran communities in various church parishes: St. Croix, USVI (1955-60), Camden New Jersey (1960-65), Chicago, Illinois (1965-67), and Brooklyn, New York (1967-69). Within these communities Lorraine served as organist, established choirs, and extended musical horizons.
Her marriage to Miguel eventually ended in divorce. Lorraine later met Armando Florindez, a mechanical engineer from Peru. The two were married in 1972 and lived in New York until 1992. During this time Lorraine acquired a Masters in Music Education from Columbia University and continued her music education at the Julliard School. She became a full time music teacher in the public school system and was known for her remarkable musical productions with elementary age students: Oliver, Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I, Annie, and West Side Story.
Throughout life, Lorraine’s foundation of faith, set by her parents, never waivered. A love of God and people infused her ministry of music. Developing multigenerational church choirs, composing numerous choral works, and facilitating workshops on Latin American hymns and liturgy throughout the United States, Central and South America, Lorraine’s passion for arranging hymns and discovering indigenous religious music culminated in several hymn compendiums: Cantad Al Senor (St. Louis, 1991) and Lutheran Service Book (St. Louis, 2006). She held memberships in various music organizations, including the American Guild of Organists, the Hymn Society of America, and the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians.
From 1992 to the present, Lorraine peacefully resided in Orlando Florida, where she continued her ministry of music with Latino congregations of Orlando. She is survived by her loving husband, Armando, her sisters, Ileane Thomas and Joyce Morgan, her three children; eight beautiful grandchildren, Stephanie, Joey, Jason, Giancarlo, Xiomara, Yasmin, Maya, and Alex; six nieces and nephews, numerous cousins, and three great grandchildren. To God be the glory! A Dios sea la Gloria!
Family will receive friends from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., Saturday, March 12, 2011 at Woodlawn Funeral Home.

Small Church Music
Editors: Bernard Kyamanywa Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
