Dec 2    Farewell to Theresa Does anyone have a song they know that they                   want to share this day?   The traditional Irish Blessing  (May the Road                     Rise up to Meet You)  would be great but I don't think the choir has                       enough rehearsal time to take it on and do a good job.


Dec  9  Out of the Stars

Dec 23 or 24  ? Parts of Winter Solstice??
               ******Please let me know your availability for these  days as soon                               as  you knowI can't make plans till I know who's here.

3 songs to listen to

For the Boys:

This is Simon and Garfunkel singing Benedictus by Orlando De Lassus.  We may change the key.  I will bring scores in 4 different keys today.

For the Girls:

This is Nella Fantasia sung by girls choir,  same arrangement we have.  I'm not especially skilled at foreign languages, but with Susan Clay's intro to it yesterday, and  reading  the score while listening to this it made  much more sense to me. 

For all of us: This is Adiemus for SATB     I just purchased it.
