The Music This Week: October 12th, 2014

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have done a terrible job maintaining this blog this fall. I believe there are fairly obvious reasons for that though! I want to tell you about a few things now, but I anticipate that over the next few weeks the updates to this blog will be non-existent as I will either be severely pregnant or taking care of a newborn. I plan to return to weekly blog posts once things settle down.

There are a couple things I am really excited about though. Specifically the upcoming choir anthems.

This week we are doing a piece called River in Judea. It's lovely and rich. The choir seems to be enjoying it and I hope you do to, because it is so pretty that I think we may sing it again some time! It's about new hope and the beauty of the Jordan River, so I thought it would be appropriate while we explore our congregation's history.

Next week (which I will hopefully not be around for!), we're doing a piece called Soli Deo. It combines those words with the hymn Praise God from Whom All Blessing Flow. It is very upbeat and lots of fun. It is incredibly joyful and I hope it will help us celebrate Anniversary Sunday.
