Choir Reading Session

Our new Easter cantata has arrived! I am excited to introduce it to the choir, I decide that we should just read through the entire work, not thinking about singing it so much as just getting familiar with the layout and find out which hymns we know and which are new. I selected this particular cantata because there are lots of old favorite hymns in it, yet it still presents the story with a fresh take.

Our accompanist is so competent that she ably plays it on first read. We enjoy working through it together, and the choir agrees that the songs are good ones. People like it as much as I do and I am glad we found a good match. We are free to go home with a song in our hearts tonight and a good cantata to look forward to. Yeah!
