Breaking up the routine within the bounds of the litugy gives people an opportunity to have new understandings or experiences. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps that's why I love choral evensong, particularly for the many different musical settings written for it. Composers often stress different tones or phrases that make very familiar text come alive.<BR/><BR/>May your Holy Week offer times for you to find peaceful rest!Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348048990003701953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956447.post-1111457609925147302005-03-21T21:13:00.000-05:002005-03-21T21:13:00.000-05:00I think I'm already tired!Enjoyed reading your Pal...I think I'm already tired!<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed reading your Palm Sunday description.<BR/><BR/>We did something a bit different this year--processed in to Ride On, King Jesus with only our drummer playing along to keep the rythm (he was playing a Jim Bay--at least I think that is what he calls it).
