----- Original Message ----- *From:* "Emily L. Ferguson" A few weekends ago the local Lutheran church had an open sing of a Bach cantata. We spent four hours being coached by a visiting English conductor. Then we went out for supper and came back and performed the cantata. Hadn't read music in 8-10 years. Survived. Emily, That sounds like it was really interesting, and enjoyable. Today, we think of Bach as being a little staid at times, but he really was a rule-bender of his day. Some think he'd be a jazz composer if he were alive today. Stephen -- This email was brought to you by GNS2000.COM using http://popmail.gns2000.com
