....say a little prayer for me tomorrow. I am asked to cantor one of the more intricate, difficult and most beautiful passages in the entire Gradual. The Messine Paleography is quite beautiful, but quite a turn of the vocal chords. The Improperia from Good Friday is probably one of the oldest pieces of chant we have, since some of it is still in Greek. I am a bit amazed that Fr. Heiman has put this kind of trust in me.
No blogging until I get back to Chicago late Wednesday.
Thursday is the Solemnity of the Most Precious Blood in our community Ordo
How much longer will you be in Chicago before heading out to Cali?
I am in Chicago July 1-8, then I am on the road until July 30, Houston, Phoenix, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and then California. After my first weekend in the parish July 31/Aug 1st, I fly to Rennsellaer, IN for a retreat August 2-6.
I preside at the 5:00 and 9:00pm mass this coming weekend at Calvert
the Reproaches are truly a moving, expressive, prayerful part of our heritage.
prayers for your service as cantor!
Cali?
where's that?
