REVISED March Rehearsal Schedule

Last week I sent out a schedule of alternating Saturdays and Sundays for the month of March. Cindy called to my attention that I had scheduled rehearsal on Lazarus Saturday, which simply will not work out according to our usual liturgical practice of Divine Liturgy in the morning, fellowship followed by vespers. However, we can't afford to just SKIP that rehearsal, so the prior weekend, we will rehearse on both Saturday *and* Sunday.

Here is the revised schedule for March:

Saturday, March 3rd: 5:00 pm at Xenias prior to Reader's Compline

Sunday, March 11th: following trapeza, in the church

Saturday, March 17th: 4:45 pm at church, prior to Vespers

Saturday, March 24th: 4:45 pm at church, prior to Vespers

Sunday, March 25th: following trapeza, in the church

Last Sunday, we debuted the Theofanovskoye Anaphora. This Sunday, we will debut the Simonovsky Cherubic Hymn and will return to the Kedrov Lord's Prayer. Its very important that we rehearse these two pieces on Saturday, March 3rd, and if possible, at 9:15 am on Sunday, March 4th, just prior to Liturgy.

Other new music in our immediate future:
a two-part The Wise Thief that is so beautiful, you won't miss the other one
Paschal Troparion in Romanian

I will try to scan and post both of these asap.
