October 12 and 19th

Hi,
What a great rehearsal last night!
In addition to the songs below, we introduced Scott to  Benedictus and I must say he did a fab job  with it.  Love his attitude!!

We also talked about revising  the 23rd Psalm  ( the Lord is my Shepherd  and When the song of the Angels is Stilled.   I will try to find the SSAA version  for WTSOTAIS
NO DATES SET FOR THESE


Unless  Terre or Jan Marsh objects, ( and I can't imagine they would)

Here's the next two performances:

October 12:  topic is Stewardship  we are singing  #84   How Far Can Reach a Smile from the turquoise hymnal.  I arranged it and passed out copies last night.  We are doing it in Eflat.  So the first melody note is D above Middle C a nd the First harmony note is Bflat.

Someone help me out if I have this wrong:

first time:   the people singing melody do the melody on oooo

Verse 1 words   with melody and harmony  ( oo or ah)
Verse 2 and  3 same as verse 1  except  Chandler and or Sherri will add even more harmonies.

Oct 19  Topic is Vision and Hope  We are singing Give Light.

We talked about  doing it in a quiet " flashmob" style.  I.e.  the first verse is just melody.  Each  time we  go to a new verse  choir members ( perhaps sitting at random places in the congregation)  will join in as they walk up and join those at the front.
