Byrd, Tallis, Morely, Palestrina eh? Sounds great! We've done some of that. I can't quote you what we've got lined up because I've been away from practice a bit (my parents got ill and I've been at their house in Indianapolis the last three practices). Sounds like you've got a pretty good choirmaster. How big is your choir? Do you have any of your work on the church's web site?

Here's an article from the archdiocesan website about our choir and the Palestrina Revival:

Chant, Sacred Classics Reverberate Again in Parishes

Our choirmaster is the best ever -- doctorate in organ performance from Juilliard, Fulbright to study at the Lyons Conservatoire . . . and he's a splendid teacher to boot (and former prof. at Juilliard). We are SO lucky to have him!

Choir has really increased in size since he came on board. We are now up to around 30-35 members. Sorry no recordings . . . my old (ECUSA) choir used to make them all the time . . .that's next on The List . . .
