| Music this Sunday |
| The St. Michael’s Singers tackle two anthems by Black composers this Sunday. At the offertory the choir will sing an arrangement of the African-American spiritual Until I Reach My Home that also references Ain’a That Good News. Get ready for some gospel piano playing and a solo from our alto section leader Carleena Manzi. At communion the choir offers a beautiful prayer with words and music by the great choral composer Moses Hogan (1957-2003). Choral Evensong The Feast of St. Cecilia Sunday, November 23 at 5pm The next big music event at St. Michael’s is our Choral Evensong for the Feast of St. Cecilia. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music and musicians, making her feast day (transferred from November 22) a fitting date to commemorate. Choral music will include works by Orlando Gibbons (for the 400th anniversary of his death), Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, and Herbert Howells (A Hymn to St. Cecilia). |
