It does have some nice unusual pieces, though, and occasionally a sufficiency of stanzas (e.g. <i>O come, O come, Emmanuel</i> which has its full 7 (or 8 if you do the incipit again at the end of the series), making possible a proper celebration of vespers in the week prior to Christmas Eve.Leland Bryant Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211499185401035099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-62285419107296458312009-07-14T09:40:15.715-04:002009-07-14T09:40:15.715-04:00Yes, Leland, I discovered that afterwards.

Good sight lines, etc. Missed a bit of the piano intro on the John Bell hymn, but the problem was corrected before the words came in. I'm sorry I missed the Sun. evg. hymn sing, but hope to watch and listen in on Thurs.<br /><br />Enjoy yourself!AuntEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632926330058119348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-17668276250925964242009-07-13T16:43:41.520-04:002009-07-13T16:43:41.520-04:00I have a niece who's looking at possibly going...I have a niece who's looking at possibly going to St. Olaf's in a year or two. She's a singer, state champion in fact in some competition or other.

I haven't done any Lutheran indexing yet, but it's not only they that cut it short. So far I have 38 occurrences of the hymn indexed, and the following hymnals have only 3 stanzas: the two latest <i>Baptist Hymnals</i>, the Presby 1990, Yale, UU, Reorg LDS, SDA, the fundy-Baptist <i>Majestic Hymns</i>, and Hope's <i>The Worshiping Church</i>!

From the first line, you could tell that everyone in the place was singing (unlike your average Sunday congregation -- you know what I mean).<br /><br />These are my people.C.W.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04745714524175357522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-82260882466225926482009-07-12T14:34:32.763-04:002009-07-12T14:34:32.763-04:00So, I guess Minneapolis becomes "Zion" f...So, I guess Minneapolis becomes "Zion" for the week, does it? :)AuntEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632926330058119348noreply@blogger.com
