First Sunday Choir

Everyone is welcome to join our next First Sunday Choir on Sunday, November 2. No auditions required – just the desire to experience the joy of singing. Music for November’s First Sunday includes the gentle beautiful “Sanctus” from Fauré’s Requiem and the African American spiritual “Stealing Away”.  The First Sunday Choir sprouted up a couple of years ago with the sole aim of bringing together as many singers as possible at one time. With a designated day (First Sunday), singers budgeted their time and invested a small window of their time and energy into the joy of singing. The “one day, one rehearsal, one Mass” mantra came about. The thought was to keep commitment as snug as possible. This approach worked fairly well except that some singers wished to have more rehearsal time, devote more time to learning music resulting in boosted confidence. To that end we have added the Thursday evening rehearsal—the Thursday before the first Sunday. Below is the schedule of the Thursday Rehearsals and the First Sundays.
