The Rutter Recap
Yes, Friends…
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times;
it was a roteness of rehearsals, it was a labyrinth of Latin,
it was a hum of harmony, it was …a discord of dissonance,
it was it was a clamor of chaos; it was a certainty of clarity,
it was an arctic of AC, it was a swamp of sweltering;
it was the antics of adolescence, it was the mutters of middle age,
it was a travail of traffic, it was a pestilence of parking,
it was a weariness of waiting, it was a panic of performance,
it was the peace of pianissimo, it was the fierceness of forte,
it was an endurance of experience, it was an overwhelm of ovation.
What a time! Largely of amazement and annoyance – both a flurry of flaws and an artistic achievement. Filled with moments to remember, this was an irreplaceable adventure and the best part is that we survived it together. Feel free to share your images; more scrapbook pages, performance recordings and further reminiscences to come.

📖 FPCL Lenten Series: The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis 📚
Greetings, Friends!
As Janet has let us know about Dr. Wilde’s upcoming sermon series on The Screwtape Letters, I wanted to be sure that you aware that you can not only buy this short book but listen to it – for free – as a YouTube audiobook. Well-known British actor and humorist John Cleese narrates it here in its entirety. The Trinity School of Stayton, Washington, presents it here, in thirty separate videos by chapter so you can sample it in little bites.
Happy Reading!📘
WELCOME!
Welcome to The Score!
Here is where you’ll find news, resources, event info (festivals, retreats, competitions), and tips from the broader choral music world, as well as dates and details of the weekly choir practice at FPCL, information on future performances and rehearsal opportunities, social events, and more. This is a place where you can have your choir-related questions answered – first by searching a Frequently Asked Questions list, or by leaving a question for the site administrator or your director when information isn’t available. We plan to incorporate a community page where you can share music-related news, choir-specific suggestions for your director, as well as comments on what you appreciated and what we might consider doing differently. Eventually this will be a place where hopefully we can use the calendar to digitally track when choir members will be away, and a place to leave notes in case of unexpected illness.
Please note that this is not the place for general complaints about your fellow choir members or FPCL choir policies and procedures, political content of any kind, or forwarded jokes and humor, unless they come from the director.
This is an experiment, and intended to lessen the burden of individual communication on the part of the director. Please be patient as we iron out the inevitable wrinkles for all of us making use of a new system.
