CONTENT OF THE DAY
The day will be led by popular choral director Misia Paul, and the programme will include
- Hymns in parts
- Some new liturgy Mass music.
- A discussion on the impact of the new liturgy on parish music-making.
- A short session on organ accompaniment, with a preview of the new 'Hymns for Easy Organ' book.
Forth in Praise publications will be on sale.
As always, this will be an opportunity for church musicians around the Archdiocese to get together and exchange news and views on church music. We hope to see many of our friends on the day, and any priests who would like to drop in would be most welcome.
With best wishes
