I do have a tentative date where I would like them to sing at that mass, but, primarily, they sing at the Thursday evening mass at 7:00p.m.<br /><br />And while most of the music they sing is in Spanish, I would say about 1/3 of the music is in English. And really, I teach more Spanish because the kids who participate, well, they either attend the 9:30am or 7:00pm mass with their families, both of which are in Spanish. I would open to teaching more songs in English if more kids stepped forward and were committed to the project.<br /><br />We also do have a few refrains in Latin under our belt. I would like to teach them the Greek "Kyrie Eleison" for Advent.<br /><br />Maiya could well be a cantor, leading the psalm from the ambo, as it is ideally meant to be done. Perhaps she could lead the psalm once a month for now. . . . Or commit to a season, for example, sing the psalm during Advent. . .or prepare something for Christmas. . . .<br /><br />I guess it has to start somewhere. It's just so crazy how we adults can get stuck in a rut and then a child steps forward, without thinking twice, and asks, "What are we going to do about it?" . . .the thing is, I still haven't given Wendy an answer to the question that will satisfy her. . . or me, for that matter. . .Rubihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003213538789735712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695667784799073553.post-7758808567688767012009-09-28T06:15:21.002-07:002009-09-28T06:15:21.002-07:00What a beautiful child...what a beautiful you. I t...What a beautiful child...what a beautiful you. I think that most of the children from the 12o'clock mass feel that the children's choir is for only the spanish-speakers. I know many of gone to practice and then quit but I think the feeling is...it's for the 9:30 mass. Maiya one of the altar servers sings...she takes private lessons...how do we share our talents? when there are so many needs?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512501528865080443noreply@blogger.com
