APRIL 13 2014

We  have had some non specific conversation about She Sings doing a service--- so I  tentatively put us on the calendar for next April.

Mark Your Calendars Many dates for us to sing

I met with Terre today and we are  hoping to sing the following---  pending results from the doodle poll re who is available.  

JUNE 9     Breaths   #  1001   also known by first line: LISTEN MORE OFTEN TO THINGS THAN TO BEINGS  (We've done it before and we can put it together in 1 rehearsal. ) 

JUNE  30  Building own Theology

WE SHALL BE FREE   the song by Garth Brooks that Tiffanie brought to us OR    if it is not ready:   BRIGHT MORNING STARS

JULY  7  NIGHT OF POWER about Mohammed’s first receiving of the first part of the Koran—  not sure  yet:  possibly a chant?    or  from WSSR  We’ve got the Power- we would lead the congregation in this.   

July  28      FYI  guest speakers are from her previous church in Athens—they will do all the music.  

Aug  25  Terre plans this as the welcome back day.  I  hope we can all be here.  Music is not set yet for it.  She's not sure what she's doing with the day yet but it traditionally marks the END OF SUMMER  WELCOME BACK for folks who have been away.

October  27   Wanting Memories

DECEMBER  1   TENTATIVE   Peace Congregational and us  singing together at a service for each church.     Terre wants to be sure that the service reflects UU beliefs as well as Christian beliefs.

December 8    Tentative:  She Sings does Aramaic   version of the Lords Prayer.   

December 16th     the Monday  before WSSR  plan to stay   till   7: 30

We did a lot of singing WSSR stuff. Fun!

Tentative new date we are singing: 6/9 - this is already on SS calendar - piece TBD

Otherwise all we did was practice "Breathe In Breathe Out" for 5/19. We decided on this for procedure so please practice accordingly at home:

• 1x thru -  drone part alone
• 1x - add melody
• 3x thru with descant added
• drop descant  - 2x more with melody
• Stop on chord together. 
• High C joins in a moment into chord

This piece is #1009 in the aqua hymnal...

...which is neither waterproof nor capable of swimming.

nyernt nyernt :)

Mary Oliver scores again

Fun quote I ran across today...

“I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.”
