My chorus is starting to work on a major piece by Dan Forrest that we’ll be doing in June. It’s really good so far!

Jubilate Deo. We’ve only been rehearsing the first three movements so far, but we’ll do the whole thing.

Oh, I wish I could be there for your concert — that’s one of my favorite choral works! My husband and I saw a performance of it a few years back and it blew us away! The rest of the standing-room-only crowd apparently felt the same way, judging from the way everyone went wild when it was over.

I love this one, very soothing, perhaps they should come and sing to us at bedtime.
