The memorial service for devoted choir member Sandy Yarno, who passed away in November, is this Saturday at 1:00 pm. Members from both adult choirs will combine to sing two anthems in memory of Sandy, including Bobby McFerrin’s beloved arrangement of the 23rd Psalm. We are honored to celebrate Sandy’s legacy of loyal, joyful singing!

On Sunday, the St. Michael’s Singers will offer a newer anthem by Patricia Van Ness based on Psalm 4, which draws on elements of medieval and Renaissance music. (The composer has been called a modern-day Hildegard von Bingen.) This will be contrasted with an actual Tudor anthem from the late 16th century by Richard Farrant at communion.
