Good morning,

Hopefully you have already registered for the Sacred Music Festival this weekend!However, if you haven’t, you can still come on Saturday with $25 and I will have music packets for your son/daughter. The most important thing is to let me know about your lunch requests so that we can make sure we order enough food over the weekend.You can do this by following this link:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmOJzXaKtDCSR-lDoaHd-cwUkw18zFQVimpFafP17NEtDhnw/viewform

A reminder that we have been working on most of this music through our Novice rehearsals and this would be a wonderful experience to sing with other Choristers from across the DMV.

Youtube Practice:

Since we didn’t have any novice rehearsals this week we missed our final touch up before the actual festival!Here is the link again to the youtube channel with all of the music from the festival:

The Novices will be singing:

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring – Bach

Non Nobis Domine – Byrd

Keep Your Lamps – Victor Johnson

Risen Lord – Rose

Love one Another – (Blessed be God and Father)There is a middle section that is a treble solo that they will join the Cathedral choir.

If your chorister would prefer to take the music home and practice, please let me know and they can come and pick the packet up today or tomorrow.

Uniforms:

On Saturday, children should be dressed in school appropriate clothing.We will be in rehearsals most of the day with some games that will require movement.Think layers as the Cathedral can get warm and cold in different places.

Sunday, Novices should wear a white-button down shirt and black pants/long skirt for the evensong service.If boys have a sports coat and tie that would be great.I have extras of both if you do not have one.Black shoes!

Schedule:

The entire schedule can be found on this online pdf: https://cathedral.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Festival-Schedule-and-Rep.pdf

If you have any questions, please let me know!!!
