Choir on tour!



Our choir were in Amsterdam over the weekend, bringing a little bit of Catford to our European friends! On Friday and Saturday they sang concerts, and on Sunday they sung at St Cornelius Church, Beuningen, near Utrecht. Here's what they sang at mass:

Introit - Ave Verum (Elgar)
Kyrie & Gloria - Missa de Angelis
Gradual - Litany to the Holy Spirit & Gloria tibi Domine
Offertory - Let us break bread together
Communion - Praise to thee Lord Jesus (Schutz)
Lords Prayer (Sanger)
at the end - O God thou art my God (Purcell)

It wasn't all work, though, as there was a free afternoon on the Saturday. After a canal trip, the adults had free time to explore the various places to visit, and the children went on a supervised shopping trip.

Luckily for us, they are back on duty here tomorrow night at 8pm, singing Missa Brevis (Palestrina) at the sung mass for All Saints day!
