Parish and contained no church from the beginning. Therefore they had
neither choir nor organist (nor organ). The parish committee in Mosede applied to the
committee of Kildebronde for borrowing
choir and director for their inauguration. It was an exciting day. As Introitus the choir sang Svend S.
Schultz: "Kom, lad os juble for Herren" (Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord),
and as Exitus, just before the concluding procession, Knud Jeppesen: "Han har
grundlagt en stad" (He has founded His city).
Rev. Bishop Hans Kvist is speaking in front of the altar
leftmost in the upper photo. In the opposite end of the church can be seen the choir director
and a music stand. The choir are seated in a row along the back wall, on both sides
of the entrance. The director and all the singers were also invited to take part
in the succeeding festival luncheon at the neighbouring school hall. The Girl Choir of Kildebronde
Church was founded in 1970 to sing at Sunday services, weddings and funerals
in the old medieval church. From 1976 the choir also sing in the new Hundige
Church, therefore the Danish name changed to mean The Girl Choir of
Kildebronde Parish. Later the name Kildebronde Girl Choir was adopted for international
use. Kildebronde Parish with the two
churches is one of the largest in Denmark with a population of a. 18,000,
and December 2014 the name of the parish was changed to Hundige-Kildebrønde Parish. Consequently the name of the choir was changed to Hundige-Kildebronde
Girl Choir February 2015.
