Revised schedule as of 3/27 per Elaine

One of these days I'll be back on track putting actual rehearsal notes on here in a timely manner - meanwhile it's good Elaine provides easily copy-able info so I can make it _look_ like I'm not totally dropping the ball... ahem... even tho my actual rehearsal notes are at home and I have every intention of posting them... ahem again. Probably need to start bringing my computer to rehearsal again - that's when I seem to do best blog and gcal-wise...

rehearsal notes 3/20

Personally I am flabbergasted that it is already March 20. That is completely beside the point but I had to just say it.

Here are updates/reminders. Everything else that was on the prior schedule is still in play.

Sunday March 26
COME AT 9H45 PLEASE - Scott T is joining us for the "Put a little love" mashup!!

  • "Put a Little Love"
  • blue hymnal #1051 "We Are..."

Sunday April 2

  • blue hymnal 1022 (I can't remem title now!) - we're doing as the choir piece
  • be ready too please to help congregation with blue hymnal 1021 (OK now I'm blanking on that too)

Sunday April 16

  • maybe still doing "Alleluia"
  • definitely doing "Breaths" (blue hymnal 1001

Happy Tuesday!

update/s....

From Elaine - I think certain things are new so I'm posting the whole thing again.
Please let Elaine know re your availability on these dates ASAP.

I do know from subsequent emails, etc., that we are doing "All Will Be Well" for Dillman's service on 4/9.

Here's a link to the Meg Barnhouse version - lyrics are slightly different than in our sheet music.

We're hoping Scott Templeton can join us for "Put a little love/Love Train" on 3/26.

I'm adding any rehearsal notes I can think of at the bottom; I've been a bad girl about those lately - sorry! If I miss anything please don't hesitate to write the group or write me and I can edit this blogpost if that's better...

1.We have been asked to sing the following dates. Please let me know if you are NOT available. 
 
 
March 19  Ed Proux   I told Ed I'm not sure we have time  for this 
Topic: How we Talk to People
Ed is asking for Keb ‘Mo  What’s so Funny About Peace Love and Understanding  
Maybe Us ---Maybe Steve Afrogola- sent  email to him March 6   Did  I  talk with Sara S about this too?


 
March  26— Ginny is doing the service 
 
Put  A Little Love in Your Heart / Love Train
 
#1051  We are….   ( we did this several years ago— not hard)
 
The hymns that day are #1031  May I Be Filled with Loving Kindness
 
April 2  Ed  Garbe is doing the service  
 
There's A New World Somewhere  ( they call the promised land)
 
the hymns are   # 1021  Lean on Me  and #1022  Open the Window  (Let the Dove Fly In) 
 
I'm thinking that Open the Window is a bit confusing for the Congregation to follow and maybe we need to do this as a performance piece—  and they can join in as comfortable on the chorus.  
 
April 9   Dillman Sorrells
Transformation   no further information yet
 
April 16  Easter  
 Alleluia    or?  
 
2.  I am away  May  8

for #1051 "We Are..." we divided somewhat into parts, with Jay and Sarah M. joining in on soprano part one octave lower. Scott J wasn't there yet at that point - I imagine Scott you can decided what part to mirror as you like. We are singing it as is altho with a toned-down piano part or possibly acapella. Also we have decided not to do the gigantic repeat in the middle section of the piece, just the little ones at the beginning and end.
