Some Sabbath Time

May 15, 2017 Uncategorized

There’s a reason why St. Andrew’s has had only three parish musicians since the 1960’s – this church/school is a good place to work.

The Vestry has graciously offered me a two month sabbatical, and I’m being allowed some creativity in how it unfolds. I’d like it to be more spiritual than professional (that sometimes happens with old organists!).

I remember the Rev. Joseph Buchanan viewing Communion as a time to place at the altar whatever is going on in our lives for the purpose of redemption by God. During the sabbatical, I’d like to compose some Communion music that gives that message.

My sincere gratitude to Anne, the Vestry, and the parish for this most thoughtful gift.
