Our planned second outing did not happen. As much as I love Christ the King Sunday, it often seems to fall right before Advent! I had hoped to sing #51 (Thanks be to God) on Nov. 23rd. This church doesn't seem to notice Christ the King Sunday, but the chorus neatly encompasses Thanksgiving as well (Thanks Be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.) We tried, but there was just not enough time. Preparing Advent and Christmas sections, as well as "Amahl and the Night Visitors" for Epiphany, just didn't leave enough energy in rehearsal. We will come back to this one during Eastertide.
By the way, the John Eliot Gardiner performance of #51 is a revelation! Not at all like I first heard it in my head!
