At tomorrow evening's rehearsal we'll continue to rehearse for the Byzantine Festival, as well as other things for the Divine Liturgy (and even the Advent Concert in December). Last week we rehearsed Nazo Zakkak's Annunciation troparion, "Today is the beginning of our salvation" and you all did an outstanding job with the dynamics and diction. I encourage you to continue to concentrate (while having fun!) at rehearsals as you did last week. Tomorrow we'll rehearse the troparion for Orthodox Sunday, "We venerate Thy most-pure image, O Christ God" by M. Petrovich (by the way, if anyone knows who this composer is and what his or her first name is, I'd be very grateful to know), as well as one or two pieces for our December Advent concert.
There are still surveys in the loft on the bulletin board. If you haven't filled out a survey about the repertoire for the upcoming recording please do so. Your input is important!
