Music Notes
We welcome choir soloist Jelani Watkins as guest choir director this Sunday. Our service opens with one of Jelani’s compositions in which the choir will sing one final “alleluia” before the season of Lent begins this week. The spiritual journey through Lent is frequently illustrated as a walk with Jesus in music written for this period in the liturgical year. We get a sense of the “hush” that comes with self-reflection of our own faith in the offertory by African-American composer Moses Hogan. We build on a sense of partaking at a communal table this week with congregational responses by British composer John Merbecke.
