3 January 2010: Epiphany

Though I think the Cornelius piece was super last week, this week was even better! This week, a SATB quartet sang the “choral” part, which was a lot easier for me to sing over. It was an absolute delight to sing with them, and I’d repeat the experience anytime.

Michael tastefully shooed the congregation with a French Noël, as I recall.
