Quick Hits


  • Organize. Your. Music. Few things bug Kathy as much as not knowing where you put your music, with the possible exception of telling her, "You never gave it to me." Warmup before Mass is not the time to put your music together; I actually organize mine during rehearsal. We simply will not have time for a lot of fumbling for music at St. Peter Canisius this Sunday.
  • Mark your music. Note horizontal episemas, dotted puncti, liquescents [1], when to watch Kathy (besides always), and troublesome notes. If you really want to impress Kathy, strike out a couple notes in each phrase of our chants where you will take a breath. In pencil, please!
  • Reminder from Kathy: No perfume or cologne. Many in our choir are overly sensitive to fragrances, and by "many," I mean Kathy.
  • I do not have the time to post the videos or mp3s of our upcoming Mass pieces, so I will not be doing so any longer. If you would like to take this on, I welcome the help; there can be more than one webmaster for this site.
  • Hosanna for the return of tenor Barbara Fanaris from the disabled list! We'll take any time she can give us, and continue to pray for her.
