My Singing Night Thursday, October 19th

An evening of music, connection, harmony, and spirit. Hosted by Trinity United Church in Newmarket. 

Warm-ups: Our warm-up was energetic and uplifting-I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. It always feels good to move our bodies to music. Move anything that doesn’t hurt.

Sheet Music songs:

Somewhere a Child is Sleeping (YRCC) with proper printed scores. We listened to and sang with Kevin’s recordings, which were excellent, loud and clear and a good tempo.

VU747 The Lord’s My Shepherd (an organ accompaniment on YouTube)

VU225 The Living God be Praised

VU422 God Be With You Till We Meet Again (by  Bluegrass Martins!)

I’ll Be There by Walk Off The Earth

This Land is Your Land (Canadian lyrics)

We had chocolate brownies which I had baked. We noticed the safety of love. We talked about the December 17th Christmas Pageant auditions and rehearsals, and the upcoming busy season. We welcomed another YRCC member, Robin! We had more YRCC folk than Trinity folk and it was a joy for me to have my worlds ovelap like that. It was a lovely evening in lovely company.
