After a few delays, we finally got around to hosting another psalm singing gathering last Saturday.
We had a really nice time of singing and visiting with our dear friends, some of whom we haven't seen in a while; Jett and Evelyn and their children were here, and Joseph and Carolyn and their children had just flown in from Colorado. After the singing and visiting we had dinner, dessert, and family worship together.
We worked on three tunes: St. Lawrence, St. Mary, and St. Neot, which we sang to Psalm 72, Psalm 22, and Psalm 69, respectively. As usual, we had lots of beautiful little children present :) and you'll hear them playing in the background.
We were missing two of our bass singers, so we had to shuffle some people to different parts, but Jesh (who always knows best) thinks that we blended pretty well with the new arrangement. Still, I missed hearing Sam sing tenor.
As always, you can download these recordings to your own computer at www.archive.org/bookmarks/snikwad.
Actually, come to think of it, we were missing *three* of our bass singers, because Ben, while present, was not singing (he had a cold).
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'd almost forgotten what this sounded like :) I like your blog.
ReplyDeleteDid Sam sing bass?
ReplyDeleteYes, he did. Some of the bass singers weren't 100% confident about their parts, so Jesh had Sam help them out, since he reads music so well.
