July 10 - Facing the Music


Emma calls for an opening a capella solo, accompanied by her performance on conga, in

Ken Medema (b. 1943) - Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying (1970)

and


am

happy


to

oblige

in

both

services

at


Davis Community Presbyterian Church,


the first with the Summer Choir


and


second featuring


Band -- miked! -- and this is pretty much a first experience as a more-or-less classical soloist in church, despite several stints (Westminster and First San Rafael Presbyterians, both Marin) as Director/Minister of Music in the '90s...

after the monophonic stint, unison men, then SATB eventually, covering Tenor, followed by Bass...

Opening is

Dan Schutte (b. 1947) - Come to the Table (2008)

with alto harmony for Harriet in the chorus and descant from verse 2 on...


Ah, yes, the rest of the services


a reading from Ephesians 1, which later motivates the composition of


Book Ephesians, Op. 401 (July 10, 2022)
   


I. Grace to You and Peace
   
II. Death to Life
III. Prayer


IV. Lies
   

[previously composed earlier this year as Op. 391]

V. Sleeper, Awake
VI. Benediction
