Subject: [Choir] longer zoom rehearsal, thoughts on Music Sunday, music program<br>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:arial,helvetica">Hello!
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">Still zooming it this week--I had kept it at 1 hour because I didn't know if people would tolerate longer on zoom. But I've had some feedback and suggestion to make it the usual 1-1/2 hours, so we will try that this week: 6:30-8:00.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">I am attaching the individual part practice videos for Ave Verum Corpus, for your pleasure. I would love if people were to come to rehearsal with particular sections they would like to go over. We will also plan to review Whole Wide World, practice parts to Spirit of Life, and possibly start on Give us Hope.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">It's not too soon to be thinking about Music Sunday this year, which will be on May 15th. Since we don't know what will be happening in our world at that time, I don't want to plan an ambitious theme-centered program. Instead I'd like it to be centered more simply on the celebration of music in our lives, and with an awareness of the task that all of us will be facing: moving forward and reconstituting ourselves practically, psychologically, emotionally, after 2 years of our collective trauma.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">I invite everyone to think about this, and we will spend a little time at the end of the rehearsal getting people's thoughts. I am open to anything--both specific pieces, other angles, performers to feature, poems or readings.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">Following are some possibilities to think about. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">-Musically for us that might mean revisiting some old favorites. Anything you would like to present at this?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">-If we are able to sing in the sanctuary, which I think might be very possible at that time, is there something we've recorded this year that you would really like to be able to sing again "live"?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">-We could resurrect the Jake Runestad we were preparing under Dick for Music Sunday 2020" "Let our love be heard"</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">-Maybe find a piece we could do backing up Verdis, (like O Holy Night.)</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">-Would people want to do a major new piece?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">-What additional performers seem most appropriate for this?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">If you don't plan to attend this week on Zoom but have thoughts about this, please feel free to pass them on to me.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">Also, it seems like a good time to try again to reconstitute a music committee. Anyone who might have some interest please stay on zoom after our rehearsal for about 1/2 hour. This will be initial and exploratory--no commitment implied by your attending. Topics to broach: How can we increase the health and visibility of the choir and music program? What might a music program beyond the choir mean (apart from guest musicians)? Recruiting non-choir members for music committee? What is the purpose of a music committee? </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">Thanks! I'll send out a zoom link on Thursday.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica">Stay well,</div>
