Just found out the Faure Requiem is on the program for our spring concert. Looking forward to it very much- somehow in all these years I’ve missed singing it. Glad that will be remedied.

thanks all, yes – it was lovely! and the Sanctus is being sung again this weekend at a COllege Memorial. A real goosebumps moment when the full choir suddenly comes into land with all those Hosannas…

In Paradisum is sublime and was played at our friend’s funeral (not sung though; we were all too emotional to have steady high notes, especially after seeing her young daughter following the coffin carrying her mother’s Bible).

Me too, Alice. In Paradisum is definitely on the card for my funeral.
I’m sure Sunday 12th was great, Maggi.
shalom,

Sounds Lovely, wish I could ‘ve heard it, hope it went well Last time I sung that was at my “home” choir about 10 years ago, but still have treasured memories. I think In Paradisum is sublime – prefer it to the too-often played Pie Jesu. Thank you for reminders!!

Hope it went well last night. I hear that L’s girlfriend is one of the new sopranos!

Sounds lovely, wish I could hear it. Do enjoy.
The Jenkins is part of our community college symphony/choral concert the first weekend in Dec. A bit of a change from the usual Christmas fare…. Our local audience will generally appreciate it. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but it didn’t take me long to warm up to it. It has evoked a lot of prayer in me. Plus, it’s the first time my husband (string bass), younger daughter (alto) and I (soprano) will have ever performed anything together…
