Sunday, November 17th is this Fall’s Music Sunday, entitled “Well-Mannered Frivolity” - not only a reference to the recently departed Maggie Smith’s role in the Harry Potter films, but also a wonderful way to sum up the choir’s fall focus of finding joy and ease in their time together. The service will feature the stunning music of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Three Shakespeare Songs and Benjamin Britten’s Choral Dances from Gloriana – two colorful and playful sets of a capella choral pieces with Elizabethan-era references and dreamlike imagery. For the sermon, Music Director Jessie Downs will speak about the importance of finding time in our lives not only for rest and recovery but escape into fantasy and dreaming. Through seemingly “frivolous” indulgence, we can nourish our inner worlds and return to our collective reality more energized and awake.
