Exciting Time

The last two choir numbers we have performed have been amazing!  Hats off to all of you for your hard work.  Everyone I talked to on Sunday was so impressed with the children and so was I.  The children's chorus adds a unique beauty to our choir and I am always amazed at how dedicated and musical they are.

Exciting times ahead!  I have raided the stake choir closet and found some gorgeous pieces.  The first is a Mack Wilberg arrangement of Lead Kindly Light.  We will sing that in early October.  I also found several selections that could be sung as solos, duets, trios, or quartets in December for Christmas.  If you are interested in singing with a small group, please let me know.  My goal is to fill December with Christmas music.  Every week, I would like to have a musical number.

For our Christmas program, I have selected a Christmas Cantata.  Just reading through it, I could feel how powerful it will be and I hope you feel the same way.  If you want to get a flavor for it, here is a link to the sheet music.  Below are some audio files you can listen to and become familiar with these beautiful songs!

I was asked about when exactly our Christmas program will be.  Christmas Day is on Sunday this year, so I don't know if that is when we will have it, or another day.  As soon as I find out, I will pass on the info to you.  Happy listening!
