The picture is a representation of the birth and naming of St John the Baptist from a fresco painted in 1313 from the Peruzzi chapel of the Church of Santa Croce, Florence. Our celebration of this feast was led by Fr Brian Stephens and our music contained a number of new hymns. The celebration was tinged with a note of sadness as we said goodbye to Maz who is off to Afghanistan for the next four months. We will miss the sound of her clarinet and her ability to transpose music that she has previously never seen - she will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Choirboy is a big fan of Graham Kendrick and we used one of his compositions as the opening hymn - Meekness and Majesty. It has a lovely keyboard part and the combination of guitar and organ worked particularly well (thank you Mary). The following link to Graham Kendrick's website is well worth exploring as there are many fine examples of his music on the site.
