Getting ready for Bach
Last night after choir rehearsal, choristers were asked to stay to help transform the church into a concert hall for our Bach Pilgrimage concert on April 21st. Since the Lutheran Church of Honolulu was extensively remodeled in 1974, one of … Continue reading
A funeral, then a wedding
As some of you know, I write two blogs: one about the goings-on from the Music Department of the Lutheran Church of Honolulu (Another Year of Insanity) and the other, about Burbank High School Class of 1968. This will be … Continue reading

No rest for the weary
The Easter music has hardly been put away and it’s already time for our next “biggie,” the Bach Pilgrimage VIII concert on Saturday, April 21st, as part of the Abendmusiken series. The concert will focus on music from Leipzig, in … Continue reading
Soooo many notes!
Here’s a YouTube version of the Sinfonia I played for the prelude at the 10:30 service — this performance is by Nikolaus Harnoncourt. I think we played it faster! Well, another Holy Week and Easter are in the books, and … Continue reading
The Church Musician as Theologian

Maundy Thursday marathon
There were twenty-two (count ‘em!) pieces of music in tonight’s Maundy Thursday service, and there would have been twenty-three had the footwashing not been so efficient. We unfortunately had to cut “Ubi caritas” by Maurice Duruflé because no more music … Continue reading
Apologies! a Palm Sunday correction
A couple of posts ago, when I said that it had never rained on our Palm Sunday parade, I was corrected by my dear husband, Carl. He wrote me, “You are wrong about not being rained out. It has happened … Continue reading

Holy Week Math: 3+1 = 5
In Pastor Jeff’s message in the April issue of The Heart Beat, LCH’s monthly parish newsletter, he described the services of the Triduum, the “Three Days” celebrated by Christians all over the world in anticipation of Easter. That means we’ll … Continue reading

Palm Sunday 2012, old and new
Over the past few days I’ve been extensively interviewed by the local Star-Advertiser on how Lutherans celebrate Holy Week. (Look for the article in this Saturday’s paper.) I guess last year they interviewed the Catholics and this year they decided to … Continue reading

Organists’ feet and shoes
I just read a fascinating article called “Bach’s Incredible Feet,” which was published on Bach’s birthday, a few days ago. Non-organists find it amazing that we play with both feet, and compared to playing the harp, timpani and piano, which … Continue reading
