Back to normal this week. The motet at the preparation was mentioned by our member -so I got some copies. I am aware that much of what we sing is unfamiliar to her so it was good to have something where she was more familiar than the rest of use. It is effective a hymn anthem with a number of verses presented in a variety of ways and keys. The last hymn was also new to us. It is the advantage of planners that they can draw you attention to something you had not considered before. I thought it fitted the day well.
