Practicing the Anthem
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I was very excited to be asked to put together Anthem music for NOTOCON VII using the Frater H.K. 1131 arrangement, and on October 26th we had a public celebration of Liber XV using the core of the choir we’re putting together, and some preliminary recordings of our rehearsal music.
This is a picture of some of our members rehearsing before Mass. We all got together at 3pm on Sunday to practice, then I got to do a run through with the team, and we celebrated Mass at 6.
This was my first opportunity to celebrate Mass using this arrangement, and I was very pleased. As Priest, it was gratifying the hear the congregation singing with so much power. Practice really did make the performance very moving, and I am really grateful to all the initiates and community members who came out early to practice, or who helped with the recording, as well as the member of the congregation who joined the chorus.
Now that we have a core of local singers, the plan is to add more voices to our practice version, and then to offer copies of the recording as an mp3 file to anyone who plans to attend NOTOCON VII so they can start rehearsing the choral parts themselves. Of course the sheet music is available in pdf format through Sabazius’ website. Anthem Sheet Music
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally, Jon
