It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas... 11.17.2011

Dear friends,

What a joyful and uplifting beginning to our new edition of the Abendmusik Christmas festival.  Thank you all for your attentiveness, energy, spirit, focus, and, also, for your willingness to unanimously engage in the commitment that it will take for us to sing our most beautiful concert!

As a reminder, our next rehearsal will be Sunday from 12:30-2:30 p.m. We will not have rehearsal next Wednesday as part of our Thanksgiving holiday.

I promised to send, once again, the link to our choir blog where you can find streamable recordings of many of our pieces as well as links to pdfs that contain markings that you should copy into your scores before our next rehearsal.  Please make every attempt to do this:

For those who struggle with technology (which includes me!), I have attached the pdfs with markings that you can access from this e-mail.  We can provide you printed copies if both of these possibilities become problematic for anyone.  Again, please make every attempt to complete the markings that pertain to your voice part by this Sunday's rehearsal.  It will enable us to maximize our together time to build our sense of ensemble and unity!  : )

What a blessing to be part of such a singing community as this, and know that I am thankful each and every day for these opportunities to share beautiful music and meaningful spiritual messages with each of you.  

Grace and peace, and thanks for all you are and all you do!
