Rehearsing

Our final concert of the season with the Camerata Singers is this weekend. The program consists of all American music, and is called "Oh Beautiful For Spacious Skies." We are singing a variety of things, many in a comic vein. This will be the closest to a pop concert we have ever been. The exciting part for me is that our leader graciously agreed to include an arrangement I made of the Sacred Harp tune "Idumea," and it is sounding very good. I'll have a recording of it by the end of the weekend, and that will help in my endeavors to get it published.

We've also been doing some rehearsing with the madrigal group for a house concert in June. In addition to traditional madrigal repertoire, we are going to perform a short cantata by Michael Praetorius on the chorale "Herr Christ der Einig Gottes Sohn." Stay tuned for further developments...
