I was very happy with the music we made, and the excitement of the great celebration we contributed to. Thank you all who made this day special for Cross of Christ. We were able to make a last minute recording of our service. The sound quality is not superb, but I’m grateful to have a chance to remember what we were able to do. Here’s some of the music we made at the 11:15 a.m. service on Easter Sunday

I really feel like we’ve turned a leaf in the repertory and artistry of our ensemble. Seems this choir is capable of making music out of anything I bring to them. As I understand, this is the first piece the choir has sung in Latin. I am very proud of what we have accomplished and I feel that this opens up a great new possibility of fine choral repertory. Bravo, Chancel Choir!
