The choir marched in singing "Praise the Lord" - a traditional Cameroon processional. They sang it in French and it is really a great piece. They sang it when Lauren was first in choir there. They also sang "You Raise Me Up" coupled with "Be Still My Soul" - very effective. The Old Irish Blessing wrapped up the concert today.
Congrats to all the St. Paul kids involved: Robyn, Rebecca, and my own Rebekah. You all did a GREAT job, together with all your fellow musicians!
It seems to me that a great many settings of "Be Thou My Vision" have very profound Clarinet parts. It was one of my favorite pieces to play at Seward in the Concert Band.
