June 21, 2009 –

I recorded some of the music from today’s 10am and 11:45am masses.  This was Rosie’s last week conducting the Children’s choir.  Great Job Rosie.  Thanks for your nine years of service in this ministry.  Here are some bell pieces that I recorded, as well as the Gloria at the 10am mass

Dona Nobis Pacem

Gloria

I recorded Deo Gloria from the 11:45am mass.  It did come out great!

Deo Gloria from June 21, 2009

May 31 was Pentecost!  We sang “I Say Yes My Lord” as a prayer after Communion.  Here is a recording that I made of a rehearsal.  Unfortunately, the first verse is cut off due to technical difficulties.  But you should get the gist of it.

Vernay printed a neat copy of the song for us.  Here is a scan of I Say Yes.

Jarred mailed out the list of music for the summer of 2009.  Here is a scan of it.

September 2008: I suggested to Jarred that we learn “So Longs My Soul”.  Here is how it came out when we sang it at a Choir festival in a past summer.

So Longs my Soul

 

Here is an excerpt from Singing in the Rain at Kelsey Theater at Mercer County Comm College.  You’ll hear Rosie giving diction lessons to the silent star actress (she must have been from Brooklyn).  Next you’ll hear Scott giving diction lessons to the star actor followed by the song Moses Supposes.  What great singing and dancing.
