Holy Week 2022
Here's to a productive Good Friday rehearsal and solid Palm Sunday liturgy! We had quite a bit to cover last Saturday, but still managed to pull everything off. Check out the audio here.
Welcome to Holy Week! As we kick off Easter celebrations, the rehearsal/Mass schedule is below:
04/14 @ 7:00 PM - Holy Thursday Mass (meet @ 6:30 PM)
04/15 @ 2:00 PM - Good Friday Service (meet @ 1 PM; preludes @ 1:45 PM)
04/16 @ 8:30 PM - Easter Vigil (meet @ 7:45 PM)
04/17 @ 10:15 AM - Easter Sunday (meet @ 9:15 AM)
Since it looks like some of you are singing/playing for Holy Thursday, as well as Good Friday & Easter Sunday, the music for all three is below. I've tried to include rehearsal notes & sample recordings. Let me know if you need anything else, including hard copies for binders, etc..
Thanks so much for putting in the time on these Holy Week programs! I realize it's a lot of music, but things are coming together nicely. After a two-year hiatus, it's wonderful to have ensembles again!
See you Thursday, Friday and/or Sunday!
