    I'm blessed to have found fine colleagues in the music staff at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Columbia, South Carolina. My Gallery Choir has sung evensong there twice, and last Sunday, 11 advanced choristers of Capella Pueri (our 22 member auditioned choir from our 109 student Pre-K4 - 6 parish school) sang their first choral evensong. Our new pastor, the Very Rev'd Canon Gary S. Linsky, V.F. served as officiant. 3 professional female choral scholars sang with 5 fifth grade girls and 6 fifth and sixth grade boys, and offered the following music, accompanied by Jared Johnson, Cathedral Organist & Choirmaster.

    "Variations on Lucis Creator" - Jehan Alain (chant sung by our choral scholars, led by my assistant, Mary Alice Thomy Bogue)
    "For the Fruit of All Creation" EAST ACKLAM (descant by M's Bogue)
    Preces & Responses - Stephen Darlington (from High Praise)
    Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in G - John Wood (from High Praise)
    "O hear us, Lord" - Anthony Piccolo
    "God is Love" ABBOT'S LEIGH (descant from Lift the Roof)
    "Litanies" - Jehan Alain

    Oh my - thank you Mark; they sound like much older and more experienced singers than they really are - wonderful stuff. You must be very proud of them.
