Sept 4, Sept 10, Sept 11

For September 4: Geri has asked that some string players, specifically including Beth and William, among others, provide offertory, and some players (including or not including these two) provide special music. I have a couple of numbers from the Sheila Nelson Quartet Club that could be used, or it might be better to play a hymn a couple times through.

This might also be a good time for Jamey, David and I to play a cello-cello-bass trio. We'll bring instruments to practice Tuesday evening. If anyone wants to call and invite others (Becky? Carla? Christina? others?) please do so. We've already talked with the Possingers about having Leo H. practice and play with us. Jamey fired off an e-mail to Enno, but a follow-up call may be in order.

For September 10: Don Crane asked us to play something at Elternhaus. I suggested filling the program with a very long song service, and that seemed acceptable. David, if you'd like, perhaps we could throw in Meditation or Adoration or some such.

For September 11: Ekkehardt mentioned that he's planning to have Ryan and trumpet on hand for special music, and asked if the lower brass would join in for the hymns.

Sept. 4: I'm game for the c-c-b trio, if I might steal away an instrument for the rest of the week. Anything else is, of course, also acceptable.

Sept. 10: I'm hesitant to agree to anything on the day of our move. We may need simply to crash after trying hard not to tread on the edges . . . Rain check on the proposed music?

Sept. 11: Brass on hymns is good. We should have some brass/organ hymn arrangments in our repertoire for times like these, ones which the congregation could easily join.
