Pope Francis Requiem (Diocesan Choir)
Greetings All—
Here is our ordo for Tuesday evening.
If you can, please arrive by 4:45 so we can attempt to warm up together, and finesse the chanting a bit. (I fully recognize that some of you will be coming from a distance or will be rushing over directly from work and therefore be unable to attend the warmup.)
As usual, I’ve placed a form here that I would be grateful if you could fill out just so I have official contact and a head count.
I will have booklets prepared for you, so you do not need to bring anything with you.
Practice resources are listed below the ordo.
Dress code is black (if possible).
Please let me know you are coming so I can prepare a booklet for you:
