Easter

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. We're singing arrangements of God So Loved the World and Consider the Lilies of the Field. Our choir director has a tendency to choose slightly challenging versions, which is both fun and nerve-wracking at times. (I was never so adventurous when I was in charge of music selection.)

Poking about on youtube led to this orchestra and choir from Spain doing a lovely job with excerpts from Handel's Messiah. 24, 25 and 26: Surely, And with His Stripes, All We Like Sheep. The pianissimo singing at the end of 26 is particularly effective.
