Thanks to all who came out last week! We had a few small issues come up (along with everyone else, it seems!), but the program still came together pretty well! The harmonies especially sounded nice on I Am the Bread of Life; it was also fun pulling out I Will Choose Christ again :-). Here's the audio.
We're making good headway with Storrington Mass! Please keep working on your parts. If more 3:30 rehearsals would be helpful, I'd be happy to get some on the board for September.
Last Saturday, we reviewed the Gloria with the congregation; this week, we'll go through the 'Holy' & 'When We Eat This Bread'. The following week will be the 'Doxology/Amen' & 'Lamb of God'.
Since Bev is out, please welcome Victoria on piano! Victoria has played for the old 9 AM Mass in the past, and also accompanied the Arietta Women's Ensemble. I'll be meeting with her Friday to review music/logistics. At this point, I'm not anticipating any changes to the program.
On a similar note, Fr. Jozef & Dcn. Jack are away this week. Our visiting priest will be Fr. Joshi. We'll need to be flexible on the presider intros for Mass Parts (either spoken or sung -- in some form). I'll try to touch base with Fr. Joshi before Mass to make sure we're on the same page.
It's hard to believe that Summer is almost over! As we approach September, please let me know of any weeks you're out so that we can plan. September music will be ready in the next couple of weeks. We'll also need to start seriously looking at music possibilities for the Advent/Christmas season :-).
Good news: a new singer will be joining us next week! Barry R. is a long-time parishioner and recently joined our Knights of Columbus Council. At the last KofC meeting, he also expressed interest in getting involved with the Music Ministry. Welcome to the group!
I think that's it! With everything going on, please be ready to start right at 4:00. That'll give us time to run through everything and sort out any logistics. See you then!
