Thank you for a wonderful concert!
Have a wonderful summer and we'll see you in the fall!
For further listening: Kodaly's Brevis Mass for choir and organ is a sort of "successor" of the Pange lingua, in which I hear a kind of development/evolution of some of the germinal musical ideas/language already present in the Pange lingua. If you feel like taking a listen, here's a wonderful version by a superb choir and organist, on a spectacular organ in a no less spectacular hall!

CyberBass/Rehearsal Tracks
CyberBass is a website that houses MIDI tutorial files that will help you learn your individual parts. CyberBass is not beautiful or artistic. It does not playback dynamics or vocal nuances. It is a note bashing site. CyberBass is an aid to rapidly learn and perfect music, freeing the conductor for more artistic endeavors.
It is 100% free to use online. Audio CDs are available for most CyberBass presentations of the major works for a nominal price. Price includes tax and shipping.
