Last Week

[omly]

Last week was sort of uneventful for the most part, as I had been taking it a bit slow. I did mention to get 2 things done in particular though.

I stopped by Tab's school to get some contact information and got grabbed to help out with their school bank. The kids can deposit or withdraw money once a week, and it was the sign up date for the first graders, so they needed some extra help. Kuddos to the PTO people. It was insane. Over $2500 was deposited alone, and all of the numbers had to be checked and double checked before it was over. I can't imagine doing it on a regular basis.

Another highlight was that I dragged myself to Choir rehearsal for the first time in ages. I had forgotten how good I feel after I go. In addition to the normal pieces that we are doing for services, we are working on several pieces from Mozart's Requiem. I love these pieces so much! Between the instrumental and vocal parts, the music is sounded phenomenal.

My church choir is doing a Requim... though it's not Mozart's.

We are actually doing a special concert on Sunday afternoon for it, in a couple of weeks.

Really? Interesting, I wonder if there is an occassion that makes it a particularly appropriate piece.

For the Catholic Church November 1 is a day to remember "all those who had gone to their rest" in the previous year.

I'm not sure... this is the blurb I found on my church's website about it:

THE CHANCEL CHOIR WILL SING THE FAURE REQUIEM at 4 p.m. on November 5 as part of the Faith and Arts Series. This beautiful work is a fitting remembrance of those saints who have gone before us. Thanks be to God for their lives and their influence on our lives. The church will be filled with candles and several icons.
