A huge 'WELL DONE', and Thank You to you all!
Our Christmas Concert
was fantastic, and Midnight Mass was even better. It must be so
difficult for you to cope with a change of organist and conductor
for a big occasion such Christmas Midnight Mass, and I'm in awe of
the way you managed the change. Parables Concert We will start work on our 2015 liturgical music and the June Concert in January. Immediately after the concert we might start learning a new Mass for Christmas (see below). |

For your coffee breaks Christmas 2016: it is possible (possibly, maybe!) that we may sing a different Mass next Christmas. Snippets only of Ronald Corp's Christmas Mass can be heard HERE - tracks 11, 12, 14 and 15. Also listen to Jingle Bells too: I can hear (and see!) our men now! And a gorgeous Stille Nacht. John Rutter's "The Lord is my Shepherd". I'm tempted, as there is an SATB + Organ score available and because it's lovely, but I feel it's just a tad too long (5+ mins) for liturgical use.
A fabulous recording from the early 1970s of the great plainsong
Te Deum sung 'in alternatim' with the late and great Organiste
Titulaire Pierre Cochereau improvising on the Grand Organ of
Notre-Dame in Paris. |
Our enhanced lighting Well, it has to be said that Father Deo, with Tim O'Donoghue's advice after he visited us in early November, has very speedily turned our needs into action!!

I continue to ask you also for prayers, please, for a Choir member's Private Intention. 2015/16 Dates List The latest dates list for your fridges, notice boards and diaries is available HERE.
