Everyone's tired on Low Sunday

    Lo! Sunday bringeth lots of tired choirs
    Who now must singeth, as has been required;
    But they're so tir'd from Holy Week and Easter.
    They're all real feasters.

    So, clear your throats now; put away that chocolate.
    Get out your music; I sure hope you brought it!
    Quit all that chatting; need I once more mention,
    To pay attention?

    Picking some easy repertoire should do ya;
    Just always make sure it has Alleluia!
    Or go repeat stuff that you did last Sunday.
    Make it a fun day!

    Can be sung to any Sapphic hymn tune

    This is accurate to my experience of choir practice before Low Sunday Mass each year, except thankfully no one's ever brought chocolate. This is not skillful poetry, but hopefully I gave someone a chuckle.

    E.g. the chant melodies of Iste Confessor and any melody based on it, like of Caelitum Ioseph and Iste confessor (the Joseph version).

    We move schola to Thursday. We’ll have to have the choir rehearsal on Wednesday unless we cancel it and go for Sunday only. I’m OK with that on second thought.

    I always though Easter was an endurance feat. It almost beat us all into the ground.
