Palm Sunday Music

Dear Episcopal friends:

I hope that there are members of your congregations that would like to sing with the St. Saviour's choir on Palm Sunday. Here are the details:

Rehearsals on Thursday, March 30 and April 6 (7-8pm)
   (an earlier email had the incorrect time)
Anthem: "Lift Up Your Heads" by William Matthias
Hymns: 154, 164, 474, 435
Sanctus: S-130

It would be helpful to know who plans to sing so that I can have music ready. The anthem is not sight-readable, so rehearsal attendance is very important. You can leave a message for me anytime at St. Saviour's (288-4215).

I look forward to our Palm Sunday celebration and to having some additional voices in the choir! Please call if you have any questions.

Julia Morris-Myers
Director of Music, St. Saviour's
