[Choir] Muusika lives!

[Lindsay Wade]

Susan Weber made a point today at coffee hour to express how much she enjoyed the anthem.  Said it was "very moving."  She also said she wished anthems in foreign languages be written up in program as it's hard to
get the full message of the piece in one reading from pulpet.
The intense am rehearsal was worth it!!!!

Brian asked (in essence) what makes Estonian choral music so beautiful. Paul wept as he told me that listening to your singing this morning reminded him of going to Canterbury Cathedral.
