Notes

Practice session for bilingual Qurbana at National Convention in Houston, Texas

This was in preparation for the Solemn bilingual Qurbana (English and Syriac) on the second and third days (August 1 and 2, 2019) of the Syro Malabar National Convention in Houston, Texas. The youth choir welcomed the idea of including Syriac chants and made the efforts to learn them in advance. On July 31, we had a final practice. We changed the performance practice the Christological hymn, Sagdinan mar, after the practice. Instead of singing three times on in the same pitch register, we sang in three ascending pitch registers. This was the first time we experimented such practice. Sebastian Ottaplackal accepted my suggestion and prepared the score for the instrumental players on time. We are grateful to Kavitha Joseph and Julie Adimathara for their effective leadership as well as to the choir members for whole heartedly welcoming my suggestion to include especially "Sagdinan mar" in the liturgy. Overall, this was a historic moment.
