St. Bartholomew's
Polyphony Choir

UPDATE
OCTOBER 2022


 

Dear all,

 

Choir Dates List 2022/23

The latest Dates List, dated 28 September, is to be found here. Print and pin to your notice boards, Blu Tack to your fridges, transfer to your diaries etc., etc.! Cantors should continue to 'pencil in' the later dates at this stage.

 

Christmas Concert

I'm delighted to be able to say that some of the strings and woodwind players from our Orchestra will be joining us for the occasion, and we thank them hugely for being prepared to do so. As soon as Bernard and I have agreed the scope of their involvement I will move on to completing the Christmas and New Year music lists.

 

Forthcoming Poly Masses

Herewith the anticipated Music Lists for the 2 October, 6 November and 20 November (Christus Rex) and 4 December Masses.

 

Our October Mass will be said for the intention of St. Bartholomew's Polyphony Choir at Terry Folorunso's request. There will be a nod to Vaughan Williams for the 150th anniversary of his birth on 12 October 1872.

 

Forthcoming Plainchant Masses

The anticipated Music Lists for the 16 October, 13 November (Remembrance) and 18 December Masses.

 

Forthcoming Hymn Choir Masses

The next 11:30 Hymn Choir Masses are on 23 October and 25 November. All are welcome to come up and sing! There will be no Hymn Choir on Christmas Day.

 

Parish Annual General Meeting 2022

This will take place in the Hall from 19:30 on Wednesday 12 October. I have been advised that, ahead of the occasion, "We will also have a suggestions box at the back of the Church, so that parishioners can make suggestions, raise issues of concern or request information, please inform members of your group about this." I have now done so! Thrice!!

 


 

Prayers, please

Please continue your prayers for Terry F., Jane, Terry J. and Mary & Frank.

 

Also.....

Suzanne's return is imminent, Mary E. has said she hopes to be back with us soon. Veronica still intends to be back with us at some stage. Kitty has now stepped back, but there is a possibility she may return at some stage in the future - hope so!
