After that nice run and bike ride, managed to get the Cantor Sheets prepared through the end of the year (with introit, gradual, and verse with tones); finished Hymn planning through Pentecost of 2011. Did a Higher Things radio show (on the topic of St. Michael's And All Angels), ran off some copies, prayed Vespers, and prepared sanctuary for St. Bartholomew's Day service this evening. After service, there's a musicians meeting for planning the year's musical offerings. THEN the music will be mostly in hand for the upcoming year!

You have a cantor?
Several! Not the paid variety though. But singers who take care of those parts of the liturgy.
Which parts? The one's marked with an "A" in the LSB?
No, they sing on the Introit (responsively with the congregation), the Gradual, and the Verse - and if a hymn (such as "Eat This Bread") requires their service.
From the choir?
From the balcony in our church.
Neat. I like the idea of three - pastor, cantor, congregation (or four if you have a choir) singing and responding with one another.
