1. Mid of church member singing
2. Various of choir members entering sanctuary
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sophia Volz, tourist from Germany, voxpop
No I am really here for the music, I am not that religious. No
4. Mid of choir members in white singing
5. Mid of tourists walking down the aisle
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dabney Montgomery, Church Member
We are hoping that they come more for the religious service, but we have to face facts. Many of them haven't heard gospel before and they come for the gospel.
7. Close of church member pull focus to tourists in background
8. Mid of church members praying plus camera pan to pews
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Esther D. Miller, Church Member:
If the tourists didn't come the church would practically be empty, because we have lost a lot of members and we have old members. And lot of them can't come out. So the visitors is a blessing in disguise.
11. Mid of soloist in white singing
12. Mid of church members in pews
13. Mid of Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith at the pulpit
14. SOUNDBITE: (English) Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith:
They're not tourists, they're people of faith. That's the integrity, people of faith.
15. Wide of choir in balcony dressed in white
16. SOUNDBITE: (English) Arnaud Lloret, Tourist from France:
I am French and so it's very exotic because we don't have gospel sound or gospel church in France.
17. Mid of Pastor singing at pulpit
18. Mid of choir members in black singing
19. Mid of people in pews clapping
20. SOUNDBITE: (English) Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith:
We want you to treat the Black religious experience the same way you would treat going to the Vatican.
21. Various of tourists taking photos
22. SOUNDBITE: (English) Carlo Smith-Ramsay, Church Member:
it's just more like they're coming to a baseball game as spectators. I just think that sometimes it's disrespectful.
23. Mid of the collection plate being handed around the congregation
24. SOUNDBITE: (English) Pastor Gregory Robeson Smith:
I refuse to commercialise the church and the worship experience. I know that there are churches who work with those agencies, and they receive remuneration. I don't do that. You don't pay people to experience the lord to come and pray and ask God to release them of whatever burden that they're facing. I think that's unconscionable. Jesus never did that.
25. Mid of choir members in black robes singing
LEADIN:
Live gospel music in Harlem's churches is drawing tourists from Europe.
But they aren't necessarily devout Christians, which is of concern to some of New York City's faithful.
STORYLINE:
On any given Sunday, Harlem's churches are not only filled with local parishioners, but European tourists eager to experience authentic gospel music.
Harlem's gospel church tours were born in the early 1980s, when just a couple of tour companies began ferrying European visitors _ the French and the Germans in particular _ to services on Sunday mornings.
Since then the industry has exploded: on a busy summer Sunday, one tour operator alone might run 15 buses packed with tourists to various places of worship.
Tours vary in cost, with the pricier ones charging $55 per person. And therein lies the uncomfortable overlap between religion and commercialism. Most churches get a cut of the profit, though tour operators refuse to disclose how much or even name the churches they work with
Sunday mornings mean lines wind around the block to the Mother African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and tour busses drop off tourists in droves.
The visitors arrive, guidebooks in hand - but they're not necessarily here for their own religious devotion.
Some are more pragmatic.

Io ti vorria contar la pena mia - Lycoming College Choir 2018 Graduation Concert
The 2017-18 Lycoming College Concert Choir performs Io ti vorria contar la pena mia during the 2018 Lycoming College Graduation Concert on Friday, May 11, 2018. For more on the choir, visit
Io ti vorria contar la pena mia (I wish to tell you of my pain) was composed by Orlandus Lassus. The choir is conducted by Dr. Daniel Hall.
Directed by Dr. Daniel Hall, the Lycoming College Concert Choir is the largest of three choral groups at Lycoming College. The Concert Choir is comprised of students from all academic fields and is open to every student who loves to sing. The choir's repertoire consists of both sacred and secular music ranging from classical standards to new works by contemporary composers.
The Lycoming College Choir serves the school body by supplying music for every major school event on campus. In its seven decades, the choir has performed hundreds of concerts, including appearances at the National Cathedral, the Washington Shrine, the Crystal Cathedral, Coral Ridge, and New York City's St. John the Divine and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Choir also gives frequent performances during Sunday services at Williamsport-area churches, including First United Methodist, Pine Street United Methodist, St. Mark's Lutheran, and St. John's United Methodist. In addition, the Choir often hosts and performs with visiting college choirs, such as various friendship choirs from Europe, and with local orchestras.
The Lycoming College Tour Choir, which is selected by annual competitive audition from the Concert Choir, has a long history of quality performances throughout the United States and the world. Since its inception in 1947 by Walter McIver, the choir has presented concerts in every state east of the Mississippi River, Texas, California, Canada, Puerto Rico, Argentina, China, and throughout Europe. The choir tours nationally each year and internationally every three years. In May 2016, the Tour Choir traveled to China for the first time, performing concerts in Shanghai and Beijing and holding workshops with a number of secondary schools' choirs.
During tours, the choir also visits and collaborates with high school and volunteer choruses in addition to its performing schedule. This type of educational outreach is central to the choir's goal of creating a greater sense of community among all levels of music education.
Lycoming's third and smallest choral ensemble is the Chamber Choir, an auditioned group that performs a diverse repertoire ranging from vocal jazz to major works. The Chamber Choir has been featured twice in the Holiday Celebrations at the White House, and the ensemble has sung with the Gregg Smith Singers, the Chieftains, and Barry Manilow.
Dr. Daniel K. Hall is only the school's fourth director of choral activities in the history of the 70-year-old program. Dr. Hall previously served as director of choral activities at Ohio University and West Texas A&M University, and led choirs from both schools on frequent tours of Europe. He is also an actively commissioned composer whose works have been widely featured at festivals and conventions. Dr. Hall has a D.M.A. in conducting from the University of Miami, an M.M. in conducting from Brigham Young University, and a B.A. in voice from Weber State University.
Lycoming College is a four-year independent coeducational college of 1,400 students enrolled in 36 majors. The College is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as a national liberal arts college. Located in Williamsport, PA, the college is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
The Lycoming College Music Department offers a major and minor in music and oversees the college choirs, orchestra, and band. Whether students choose to major or minor in music, or to be involved in one of the choirs, Lycoming’s liberal arts education encourages students to combine their love of music with other majors and interests. Regardless of major, students have the opportunity to take a variety of courses, including theory, music history, and electronic music. Advanced courses, such as composition, conducting, and special topics in music, are offered specifically for music majors. Lycoming hometown of Williamsport is a musical city with its own symphony orchestra, civic chorus, community band, and ballet, and is an ideal location for students with an interest in music.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 31, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
A crucial vote is anticipated Jan. 31 on whether to call witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial, including former national security adviser John Bolton. In a manuscript of his new book, Bolton reportedly says that Trump directly tied the holdup of nearly $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine to investigations of the Bidens.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 24, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
Opening arguments in President Trump’s impeachment trial began on Jan. 22 in the Senate. House managers, led by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), will present three days of opening arguments. Then, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions in writing. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will read the questions out loud, and the appropriate side — defense or prosecution — can answer them.
