For Choir Members Only

Choir Schedule, Repertoire and Absence Chart
updated Sunday August 3, 2008

  • IMPORTANT: Please send Perry your planned absences - this is critical information
  • New protocol for accessing/downloading recordings - see below!
  • Please try and schedule your absences around major events. These very important liturgies include evensong (4th Sundays March-October), September's evensong will celebrate the Feast of St Michael and All Angels. The weekend of 1 and 2 November is VERY important; we will celebrate the Feasts of both All Saints and All Souls.
  • Just want to clarify our vacation times, and our times of special obligation (through August): Vacation days for the choir: - -15-17 August (BVM/stewardship supper on Friday night with 'special music' from the choir; possible rehearsal on Saturday if we need it; Sunday is formal celebration of BVM, probably with Byrd 4-voice mass and Marian motets) -24 August (evensong)
  • A midi file of the mass, playing -- at a good clip -- all the movements of the edition that we're using, is available at: http://wso.williams.edu/cpdl/sound/gaba-msb.mid
