Parish Music Days
In
an effort to stimulate greater participation, I am starting
Parish Music Days. This is a parish-wide evening of education
and music rehearsal. The first Parish Music Day will be on
Thursday, February 11, 2009 from 6:30 PM until about 8:00 PM.
That evening we will go through some of the music for Lent and
Easter so that we, as a parish, are better prepared to sing
during these seasons. I will also go through some of the
liturgical differences between Lent, Holy Week, and the Easter
season. I know that one rehearsal is not sufficient to learn all
the music for the holiest time of the Church year; however, my
hope is that this rehearsal will somewhat familiarize us with
the upcoming liturgies. Please come. I firmly believe that this
time will be a benefit to all and help us really enter into the
mystery of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord.
The
Parish Music Day will begin with a prayer and a basic vocal warm
up. We will then learn and rehearse music interspersed with some
information about the music itself and its liturgical use. I
encourage you all to take advantage of this opportunity!
