Do you play the trumpet, or do you know anyone who does?
Having resolved the timpani drum transport crisis, we are now in need of a couple of trumpet players for Sunday morning. The music is Schubert in G and the Hallelujah Chorus (to be sung by the whole congregation).
There is no fee attached to this gig – its just for fun (and what fun!). You get an Easter egg, the joy of doing it and the gratitude of an entire congregation.
Any takers, please call Frikki on 0141-227-3962
We had a great start to Holy Week yesterday. A very full church in the morning with an excellent procession outside and back into church. All glory, laud and honour!
At night, my spine was tingled more than once by the choir. In particular, the repeated phrase “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn to the Lord your God” in the Bairstow Lamentations. It crept up on me each time.
Knowing that the wall of sound was going to hit me was no preparation for the tingle that came each time when it did.
The journey has begun.
