Songs & Updates for Saturday, May 16, 2015


This Saturday is the 7th Sunday of Easter.
We had several instrumentalists out last week, but a pretty nice-sized group of singers. Huge thanks to Zach for helping out with guitar and everyone else who was able to make it! For those unaware, Zach will be with us for the next several months while on break from college.

Ginny, Lisa K., Lisa P., Maggie, Tom and I stuck around after mass for a bite to eat. We worked on the voice parts for a prelude tentatively scheduled for Pentecost, God Has Chosen Me, looked at several songs for next week and the psalm for 5/30.

Ginny and I spent some time this morning (Tuesday) cleaning up the choir cabinet. We reorganized many of the shelves and began sifting through sheet music and putting it in folders. We still have a ways to go, but hopefully, this'll make it easier to find things moving forward.

Masses for Ascension are Wednesday evening at 7 PM (Barb's group is covering) and Thursday morning at 9 AM. If anyone is free Thursday morning, I'm planning to cantor, but we're still in need of an accompanist.

Father let us know after mass last week that 'Resucito' is still a bit slow. The tempo of the recording below from mid-April is probably where we need to be with this.

Tom, Jonathan and Karina are out this week.

There will be practice after mass from 6:30-8:30 to continue working on 'God Has Chosen Me'. If anyone would like to cover dinner, please let me know.
