The famed opera singer%u2019snamesake is composing a guitar accompaniment to one of the Christmas selectionsand is a versatile singer as well. %u201cI singboth tenor and baritone, but I have morefun with baritone,%u201d says Caruso.HE%u2019S THE ONLY DUTCHMANFor others, choosing a choir and a churchcame in different, but no less important,ways. Sue Oosting of Ditmas Park hadcultural reasons for singing at Old First.%u201cMy husband is probably the only Dutchman in the whole congregation,%u201d she says,referring to the sect's 18th Century origins.Oosting herself had formal training as afirst soprano and her husband sings professionally at religious and cultural eventsaround the city. Although she has twochildren and a full-time career as apsychoanalyst, she doesn%u2019t feel her time iswasted. %u201cThe choir offers me creativity andpleasure I can%u2019t get elsewhere.%u201dCarol Olive moved to Park Slope twoyears ago and spent a lot of time looking fora church for her family. The choir at OldFirst helped make her decision. %u201cI joinedthe choir and the church on the same day,%u201dshe says. %u201cMy husband knew I had decidedwhen I went to a service at ten and didn%u2019tcome back until two.%u201dFor whatever reasons they came, manystay because of the close friendships theydevelop with other chorus members %u2014something that can make the long practicesgo by quickly.%u201cI%u2019ve been in quite a few choirs,%u201d saysSister Yvette at Saint Francis. %u201cSometimesyou can get people together and sing butthere%u2019s not always a camaraderie. Herethere is.%u201d A self-effacing soprano andmember of the Good Shepard Order, SisterYvette has been at St. Francis three yearsand loves it. %u201cWe also have great parties,%u201dshe says.Susan Sturman at Grace Church says shetoo gets %u201ctremendous satisfaction%u201d out ofperforming in a group. %u201cIt%u2019s a real ensemble. When you have people who singtogether all the time, you learn to think as aunit. That%u2019s when things work really well.%u201dThis kind of unity shows during rehearsals at St. Francis. When choir directorJohn DeNiro says, %u201cA little less sopranothis time,%u201d the practice room erupts withsingers joking and giving a good naturedribbing to their high-voiced comrade.OFTEN IS HARD WORKBeyond the fun and games, being m achoir can often be hard work, and the driving force behind the group is usually thechoir director. Winn Buckwalter at OldFirst Reformed says working with choirdirector Jeanne Lowe makes coming torehearsals, %u201cvery easy. She%u2019s always awareof the spiritual aspect,%u201d he says.Lowe, like most good directors, brings awealth of energy to the job. %u201cI%u2019ve been doing this for ages,%u201d she says. %u201cIt was in 1958when it started and I was 16 when I conducted my first choir.%u201d With Mastersdegrees in organ and divinity under herbelt, Lowe wants to complete her educationwith a doctorate at Union TheologicalSeminary.
