Songs & Updates for Saturday, May 2, 2015


This Saturday is the 5th Sunday of Easter.
Things seemed to go pretty smoothly last Saturday -- nice job, all!

We made it through the prelude, and Luke and Dawn joined us to sing a song for a couple renewing their wedding vows. We also decided to bag practice since the music for May was still pending approval.

If anyone is interested in cantoring the Psalm, please let me know. We'll continue using 'This is the Day' through Pentecost. Also, if you're not familiar with the forth verse, please be sure to look that over.

For 'Resucito', let's plan to review the Coda before mass. I intentionally let it go last week to avoid confusion, but the result was the song didn't quite resolve.

The Office just let me know today (Tuesday) that our music for May has been approved.

Jim, Jonathan and Karina are out this week. Instrumentalists, we should discuss how to handle several of these songs with limited guitar coverage, so stay tuned for an email on that. Also, singers, if anyone is up for it, we'll probably need one or two people to cantor mass from the guitar mics.

Finally, the Thanksgiving Mass celebrating the anniversary of Father Charlie's ordination into the priesthood will be this Sunday at 4 PM. Barb invited singers and instrumentalists from all the groups to be involved in the music.
