FIRST SUNDAY CHOIR meets, as the name suggests, on the first Sunday of every month from October to June at 9am to prepare a special choral piece(s) to be sung that same day at the 11am Mass. Children, grownups, families are encouraged to gather with other singers in the Music Office downstairs to learn an anthem (song) to be sung at Mass. At 10am we take a 10 minute break after which we resume rehearsal. No prior music/singing experience is necessary and there are no auditions. Children under 12 must bring a singing adult with them!! We’ll have a good time together learning about healthful vocal technique, music theory basics as we sing some very accessible, enjoyable music. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to participate in choir singing but cannot commit to a regular, weekly rehearsal schedule.
Songs (anthems) planned for our next two FSC include:
Sunday, Feb 3 : The familiar “Make me a channel of your peace” (St. Francis prayer) arranged by Jane Holstein and “Lord, Lead Me, Lord” arranged by Gilbert Martin.
Sunday, March 3: Two beloved and moving spirituals – “Steal Away to Jesus” arranged by John Barnard and “We are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder” arranged by Horace Clarence Boyer. You won’t want to miss being in the middle of the group singing these songs.
