We're into our summer season now, so the adult choir is finished for the year and most weeks we will have soloists or small ensembles.
This week Margaret McKenzie-Leighton is going to sing for us. One of her pieces is accompanied by organ and I thought it had been a little while since we had organ music for preludes and offertories, so I chose to focus on organ music this week.
The piece I am most excited about is a 20th-century piece by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Margaret is going to be singing "Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life." It's very different from anything I've done since I arrived at St. Andrew's. It has a folk-like melody with lush 20th-century harmonies. It won't be to everyone's tastes, but it is a beautiful piece.
