Wow, look at all those Haugen and Haas songs. You’ve got my sympathy!
Happy Easter anyway
Yes, but was he forced to do a Joncas psalm, the way OUR choir was?
He got off lightly!
(And, no doubt thanks to him, his congregation heard the sequence sung, which notion, when our pastor asked for it, our choir director sabotaged.)
The Joncas setting of “Our Blessing Cup” (which is a mix of Ps. 116, Ps. 34 and one of the Corinthian epistles) was nixed for Good Friday because one of the more talented student cantors flatly refused to sing such a difficult setting.
The Deiss met with some resistance at music selection (too staid?), but passed muster. (With brass, bassoon, and flute support, it’s anything but staid, BTW).
The Easter Sequence is actually looked on as standard practice here (in English, of course), but this year the choir hummed on the tonic and the 5th throughout the Sequence while the cantor sang the melody solo. Simple yet haunting technique, especially if you have a true bass (we don’t). For the other chants, the choir droned on the verses ad libitum.
