Is That Your Mihi?

I am now about to ruin every time you encounter the Latin word "mihi" ("to me" or "for me"), which is pronounced "mi-ki."  That's because every time I hear it, I think of Peter Sellers as Inspecteur Jacques Clouseau of the Surete in Return of the Pink Panther saying "minkey" instead of "monkey":

The Wait Is Over

Regina Pacis Cantorum will resume rehearsals next Tuesday, October 11, at St. Rose of Lima in south Reno.  From Kathy, who will be fresh from her Southern California chant workshop:


That brings me to a constant need: new members.  We need voices in every section.  If you are bringing someone new with you, please make sure to let me know ahead of time so that I can have music ready.  If you have been away from choir, please give prayerful consideration to returning this season.

It is shaping up to be another busy season.  How blessed we are to be singing this incredible music!  And there is much to learn to prepare for the upcoming new English translation of the Roman Missal.
Let's do it!
