Chant at St. Joe

We sang Spiritus Domini at Preparation of the Gifts of this morning's mass at St. Joseph Proto-Cathedral. We rehearsed carefully beforehand, working for a blended sound, reminding ourselves of the tricky parts. This is the first week working with a new sound system, and, as the choir is miked, I determined that we could sing softly and work for blend rather than volume.

I think we sang well. For some reason my minidisc recorder malfunctioned, and I didn't get the recording at all. (I probably can't blame it on the recorder. Usually it's the "recorder" who has a problem--the traditional "short between the earphones.") Rats.

I hope they ask to do more chant.
