The summer months tend to be a little more haphazard in terms of planning the music to illustrate the sermon. First of all, with both myself and Scott being away at various points, there isn't as much of an opportunity to plan things. Secondly, our wonderful soloists and small ensemble often want to chose there own music which may or may not line up with the topic of the sermon.
So this week, when I was choosing what to play for the prelude, postlude, and offertory, I thought we were going to have a very musically disjointed service. Scott's sermon is on the summer blockbuster Jaws and Gabrielle and Zoe McAndless are going to sing "Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent. Seemingly completely different, but I was delighted when I realized Scott will be discussing how things don't always go according to plan (in relation to the movie) and that is basically what the musical Rent is about.
