Take him earth

Today we spent some time in the Church of the Transfiguration (which is where Gloriae Dei Cantores calls home) singing some tour music. The beauty of the art and the acoustics are so rewarding to experience singing in. We sang the piece that Howells wrote for JFK (Take Him, Earth for Cherishing) around the font. Its so haunting especially this time of year when we remember the shared loss of 9/11. I love it when a work becomes of the moment like that. It makes your singing something you have to do-  living in the moment.
