AMC singers,
As has become tradition, we will be preparing some choral music for worship
services for the holiday season and into the new year. As rehearsal time is
always an issue for our busy lives, we have planned for just 2 rather long
rehearsals (1 1/2 hours), plus 15 minute rehearsals on Sunday mornings during
the coffee-time between Sunday School and Worship. Mark your calendars for the
first long rehearsal on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Nov 28) at 2 PM at the
church. Immediately following rehearsal will be the decorating of the sanctuary
for those who wish to stay. Coffee-time rehearsals will begin on Sunday the
29th. The date/time for the second long rehearsal is TBD pending discussion of
evertone's schedules. For enhancing your choir experience, I suggest you do
your best to attend both long rehearsals, BUT...there are alternatives: I have
MP3 recordings of most of the pieces we will be doing---great for supplemental
individual learning and
practice.
Please let me know of other e-mail addresses not on the AMC listserve that I
may have missed.
Here's some of the music under consideration:
Come to us, O promised One (A new piece. SATB w/ Piano. Composer: Lloyd Larsen)
O, Jesus, Grant Me Hope and Comfort (SATTBB a cappella. We did this several
years ago.)
Wexford Carol (Haunting traditional Irish. SATB with solo. Looking at several
arrangements. Probably a cappella)
Men's ensemble (advent or New Year):
Mothering God, You Gave me Birth. (This is #482 in the Hymnal. Our own TTBB
arrangement.)
This is My Song...Song of Peace (tune Finlandia by Sebelius, TTBB a cappella)
There are several other Christmas/Advent pieces under consideration, including
some Women's Ensemble pieces. Suggestions are always welcome. If there is
interest and energy, we may continue the choir straight through Jan, Feb, Lent
and Easter.
Ron
