Thanks everyone!

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your performance last night! You all sang extremely well--particularly the Prayer of St. Patrick, which was really quite stunning from where I stood. I received numerous compliments about the quality of your singing from folks in the congregation.

And thank you for a great semester! I've really enjoyed working with you and am SO PROUD of your musical accomplishments. You don't often hear choirs from colleges of our size that sing as well as you do. Keep up the good work!

A couple of final housekeeping notices:

(1) If you haven't handed in choir music yet, please bring it down to the choir room and place it on the long table so we can start filing things away.

(2) I will be in NYC performing with a professional choir at Carnegie Hall the first week of January, won't be here the first week of classes. I'll have one of the other music faculty take the first rehearsal, just to have you check in and receive music. Your first assignment will be to learn one of the easier pieces (or a portion of one) on your own with study files that will be placed on the website. Piece to be announced later.

(3) Be sure to check the departmental calendar on the website so you can clear any conflicts with our performance schedule.

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

RCB
