St. Patrick's Day. What a wonderful day. We had mass at school today. The band played and the St. Mary's Men sang. We are doing the Latin mass parts. I think the student body is joining in. Hard to tell sometimes, but I look around and they are daring to make a joyful noise. After hearing the choir at St. Paul's Cathedral in Minnesota this past weekend, the students show a renewed interest in the beautiful chant. I took this picture in St. Paul on Sunday. Lux Aurumque, by Eric Whitacre, is our next challenge. The wind orchestra modeled it so well for us today. I have linked to a page that has a set of midi parts. Lux Aurumque midi parts. Hopefully students check their parts and come ready to learn. A couple other things we have going on include the NDMEA All-State Choir on March 22-24 in Bismarck. Check the schedule out if you haven't seen one yet. Tickets are available for the concerts. They should be wonderful. Our Cathedral tri-school band is playing. The Dakota Chamber Chorale is singing for the teachers. I sing with them. Great adults that like to sing, conducted by Tom Porter.
