Rehearsals, more study
(backposting) Today (or yesterday - who knows?) I had the first rehearsal with a group of singers who'd shown an interest in singing some more difficult music. 4 sopranos, 2 altos, 1 tenor and 4 basses - I'm hoping for some more singers in the first year. Charles, one of the basses, has asked whether we could sing it on the Friday evening, as part of the service he's involved in putting together. I'm pretty confident that it should go well, as they first rehearsal went excellently.Helen's session on Ecology and Mission was particularly interesting, but so was the session on the history of mission: she did a talk on Bartolom&ecute; de las Casas (a fascinating priest who stood up for the rights of native South Americans early in the colonial period), and Richard talked about missions to China, an area about which I knew very little.
