There are rhythms which will seem complex at first (because they are!)--it might be useful to get a feel for them through listening.  You can find a recording of the song here: https://graphitepublishing.com/product/the-gift-to-sing-2/.

INCLUDING... having a quartet of us singing the Mozart Ave Verum live in the Sanctuary during Sunday's service along with/while showing the lovely video we made last week.   Masked, of course.  Are there people who would like to do this if this is OK'ed?  We would need one and only one on a part, so only if you feel comfortable holding your own.  Verdis is ready and willing to sing bass, but if one of our basses would like to, that is also great!  I am ready and willing to sing tenor--same deal.  If we get more than one taker on a part I'll draw straws.  It's possible this won't be possible, but I'd like to be prepared if it is.

> Unfortunately there was a problem with the audio in the recording you all made last week, and we will have to redo it.  For the record, you all sounded awesome last Thursday--it was truly thrilling for me getting to bask in your collective sound--the issue was purely technical.   So the good news is we get to do it again!  Next week, Thursday the 24th during our rehearsal.  We will be trying to wrangle as many of the children back as possible.
