Enjoyed a good concert in church, given by one of our occasional sopranos and her sister. Lots of old favourites, including the 'Cat Duet' (Rossini). (They like each other really....) Fortunately, Anna stayed on to sing with us at the Sunday Eucharist, when we sang 'God Omnipotent' (arranged Wood) for the first time. The 'Amen' still sounds strange, but I like the piece as a whole. Most of the choir then rushed out of the vestry in time to hear one of our favourite voluntaries, 'Carillon de Westminster' (Vierne). A quiet, simple Evensong ended the day, with Anglican chant, Ferial responses and 'Lead me Lord' (Wesley). Sometimes it's good to go into automatic mode and not have to think too much - probably rather like the monks in their daily round.
