What did I sing this weekend?

I'm taking my mother's blogging question one step further. :-) Here's what I sang this weekend:

04/12/08 10:30AM A Service of Baptism, Confirmation, Reception and Reaffirmation
"Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven"
"We Know the Christ is Raised and Dies no More"
Jubilate Deo by Paul Halley
Child of the Light, arr. Dent Davidson
I Received the Living God by Richard Proulx
"O Praise Ye the Lord"

This is one of the longest services I've ever sung for but so wonderful to see. Our church was host to several churches and a service which baptized 3 people and confirmed 89. And the bishop of the Diocese of Michigan was there. All in all it was pretty cool (actually it was really hot, but that's beside the point)

04/12/08 5:00PM The Fourth Sunday of Easter: Good Shepherd Sunday
04/13/08 8:00AM
04/13/08 10:00AM
"All People that on Earth do Dwell"
A Song to the Lamb by Donald Pearson
"My Shepherd Will Supply My Need"
Jubilate Deo by Paul Halley
"I Can Hear My Savior Calling"
"Good Christians All, Rejoice and Sing!"
(These three services had a mix match of the above songs/hymns as I was the cantor for the 5pm and 8am services and the whole choir was at the 10am)

04/13/08 4:00PM Music at Christ Church Cranbrook presents Classical Bells Hanbell Ensemble
with D. Giles Simmer, soprano and John Repulski, organist
I sang "The Gift of Love" by Hal Hopson with one of the largest (and best) professional handbell choirs in the Midwest. It was pretty cool and also some sort of evidence to the fact that I just can't say no to Joseph...

So that's what I sang this weekend! I put the hymns in parenthesis because I didn't want to italicize and I'm awful for not doing something to the other pieces but I had to show some distinction. And, since I sing for an Episcopal church, all the hymns are from the most recent hymnal (1982 I think).

Now all I have to say is "Thanks be to God!" that my weekend is over but I wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow...
