Our huge
congratulations to Terry on being honoured by Pope Francis with the
Papal Award Benemerenti for her services to the Polyphony Choir and
to Catholic Education. It is likely that the Family Choir will not be joining us for the Easter Vigil - we may therefore have a little bit more than usual to take on board learning-wise. Please be aware. Cantors, please would you confirm, as soon as possible, your availability on the evening so that I am able to plan accordingly. Christmas 2015 Father Deo is very happy that we learn the Ronald Corp Christmas Mass for this year's Midnight Mass and Epiphany. We will not learn the Credo, just the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus and Agnus. Snippets only can be heard HERE - tracks 11, 12, 14 and 15. We will commence learning this in the 8-8.30pm slot on Tuesdays after the Parables Concert. |

Parables Concert Our rehearsals have started well. Thanks to all of you who have got to church as promptly as possible for the 'first half hour'. We will spend more time on the concert music after Easter. I have put in place a final rehearsal on the day before, the 13th June at 2.30pm - hopefully it will not be too long! The full programme for the Parables Concert will be available in early March. Choir Outing - 10th May The current thoughts for the day are as follows: Leave Norbury by coach in time to attend 10:30 sung Mass at St. Magdalen, Brighton. Coach to our lunch venue in Brighton, then some free time for toe-dipping. Travel to Carole's at Peacehaven for afternoon tea and cakes. Please complete 'the board' for the day out that went round last Tuesdays evening (27th Jan). I am then able to ask for quotations for a coach (something a little less 'heritage' this year!). Once I have booked a coach, I will (applying my usual generosity for such days!), advise you of the likely cost. Once the cost has been determined, we'll put a further board round so that we know exactly how many to book for the coach, the restaurant, and to assist Carole's plans. £10 deposit, please, by end of March. |

ahead, after the Gospel at Epiphany. This is the
2015 Noveritis chant in Latin for the Latin Extraordinary Form of
Mass. However.... British Choirs on the Net Phillip Tolley's latest British Choirs on the Net Newsletter is to be found HERE. |
